Compact photoelectric sensor for short-range
The Sick WL9-3P1130 is a rectangular retro-reflective sensor with autocollimation that detects objects from 0 m up to 4 m. It emits visible red light at 650 nm from a PinPoint LED and produces a 45 mm spot at 1.5 m distance. The PNP complementary output switches at 1,000 Hz with a response time below 0.5 ms. It is aimed at electricians and automation engineers who need a small, cable-connected presence detector.
Low power draw and sealed housing for harsh
The unit operates on 10 V DC to 30 V DC with ripple under 5 Vpp and consumes only 30 mA. Its plastic VISTAL housing and PMMA optics meet IP66, IP67 and IP69K ratings, so it resists high-pressure wash-down and dust ingress. The PVC cable is 2 m long with four 0.14 mm² conductors and the sensor weighs 80 g. It functions from –40 °C to +60 °C without active cooling or audible noise.
4 m maximum sensing range decides the application
The sensor’s longest reliable detection distance is 4 m, with a guaranteed sensing range of 2.5 m. Buyers who need longer reach or a fibre-optic variant should look elsewhere. The fixed cable and M3 mounting holes suit permanent installations where a connectorized version would add bulk.

Questions about this item
How do I mount the WL9-3P1130 sensor and which step is often missed?
Use the M3 mounting holes on the 12.2 mm x 50 mm x 23.6 mm rectangular housing; the step often missed is aligning the PinPoint LED spot (Ø 45 mm at 1.5 m) with the reflector for autocollimation.
What maintenance or replacement will the WL9-3P1130 need over time?
The 2 m PVC cable (0.14 mm² conductors) may need replacement if damaged; the plastic VISTAL® housing and PMMA optics should be cleaned periodically to maintain the IP66/IP67/IP69K seal.
What is the first limit reached during sustained operation of the WL9-3P1130?
The 1,000 Hz switching frequency and <0.5 ms response time set the speed limit; the 100 mA PNP output current and 30 mA power consumption define the thermal limit at up to 60 °C ambient.
