WL100-2 MINIATURE PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS
Product description
TheWL100-2photoelectricretro-reec-
tive sensor for detecting transparent
objects features reliable switching and
long sensing ranges for transparent
materials.
The bright, visible light spot, the clearly
visible status indicator LEDs and the
integrated M3 threaded mounting hole
make commissioning quick and easy.
The photoelectric sensor is suitable for
executing numerous tasks:
Options in terms of switching output
(PNP or NPN) and connectors (male con-
nector, M8, 3-pin; male connector, M8,
4-pin; cable, 2 m), light/dark switching
and sensitivity adjustment allow for a
wide variety of sensor variants.
The extensive range of accessories also
opens up a diverse spectrum of applica-
tion possibilities.
At a glance
• Standard miniature housing with inte-
grated M3 threaded mounting holes
• Bright emitted light spot and clearly
visible indicator LEDs
• Light/dark switching and sensitivity
adjustment possible
• Low switching hysteresis for detect-
ing transparent objects with min.
20% attenuation in the light path
Yourbenets
• Reliable detection with regard to
transparent objects with attenuation
in the light path of min. 20%
• Straightforward alignment thanks to
bright light spot and clearly visible
indicator LEDs

common mounting systems due to
standard housing with 1-inch hole
spacing and integrated M3 threaded
mounting hole
• Highly reliable and durable de-
spite optical interference and me-
chanical loads
