Photoelectric Retro-reflective Sensor PNP
The Sick WL45-P260 is a photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with a PNP switching output and complementary light/dark switching. It operates on a 10 V DC to 60 V DC supply voltage and offers a sensing range from 1 m up to 45 m, extending to 55 m maximum. The rectangular metal housing carries an IP67 enclosure rating for industrial environments.
Automation Engineers Needing Long-Range Detection
This sensor suits engineers who require visible red-light detection over distances up to 45 m with adjustable timing functions including on-delay, off-delay and combined delays selectable at 0.5 s, 12 s, 0.015 s and 0.3 s. It is not for buyers who need a diffuse or through-beam sensing principle, or who require an output type other than PNP.
1 m to 45 m Sensing Range
The decisive specification is the sensing range of 1 m to 45 m, which determines whether the unit covers the required detection distance. A 230 mm light spot at 16 m and a 400 Hz switching frequency support reliable operation, while the terminal connection with PG13 gland and six-pin layout completes the electrical interface.

Questions about this item
What sensing range does the WL45-P260 retro-reflective sensor achieve with its visible red LED?
The sensor detects objects from 1 m to 45 m using its visible red LED light source, with a maximum range up to 55 m under optimal conditions.
What are the housing dimensions and mounting requirements for this metal sensor?
The rectangular metal housing measures 60 mm wide by 105 mm high by 105 mm deep and uses a terminal connection with PG13 cable entry for secure mounting.
How is the switching delay configured on the WL45-P260 and which selector is commonly overlooked?
Delay times are set via the time delay selector switch offering 0.5 s or 12 s for on/off delays and 0.015 s or 0.3 s for response; users often miss the separate selector for the shorter delay range.
