Photoelectric Retro-reflective Sensor NPN
The Sick WT100L-E1131 is a laser-based photoelectric retro-reflective sensor with an NPN switching output. It detects objects up to 12 m away using visible red light at 650 nm. The rectangular ABS/PC/POM housing measures 11 mm x 31 mm x 20 mm and weighs 50 g. It includes a stainless steel mounting bracket and a P250F reflector.
Check Supply Voltage And Wiring
Verify that your system provides 10 V DC to 30 V DC with a ripple of ± 10 %. The sensor draws 30 mA and connects via a 2 m, 3-wire PVC cable with a 0.18 mm² cross-section. Ensure the NPN output logic matches your controller and that the 100 mA maximum output current is sufficient for the load.
Suits Fast Small-Object Detection
This sensor suits applications detecting small objects or items moving at high speeds, with a response time under 0.25 ms and a 2,000 Hz switching frequency. The IP65 rating handles dust and water jets. Buyers needing a PNP output, a different sensing principle, or a connectorised cable instead of a flying lead should look at other models.

Questions about this item
Does the sensor come with a reflector and bracket, or must they be purchased separately?
The package includes a stainless steel mounting bracket BEF-W100-A and a P250F reflector, so no extra items are required for standard retro-reflective operation.
Which sensing range figure should I use when planning the installation?
Use the 0.08 m to 10 m sensing range for reliable detection; the 12 m maximum is only achievable under ideal conditions.
What does the 2,000 Hz switching frequency mean for a high-speed production line?
It allows the sensor to detect objects moving at high speeds with a response time under 0.25 ms, suitable for fast automation tasks.
