What type of sensor is the WTV18-2P420?
The WTV18-2P420 is a small photoelectric sensor designed for industrial applications, featuring background suppression and a rectangular housing shape.
How does the WTV18-2P420 operate?
This sensor operates by emitting an infrared light from an LED and detecting the light reflected back from the target object, using background suppression to distinguish between the target and the background.
What is the maximum detection range of this sensor?
The maximum detection range of the WTV18-2P420 is between 100 mm and 200 mm, depending on the reflectivity of the target object.
Can the WTV18-2P420 be used in outdoor environments?
While the WTV18-2P420 is designed with a robust IP67 protection rating, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments, its performance outdoors may be affected by factors such as direct sunlight or extreme weather conditions.
What type of output does the WTV18-2P420 provide?
The sensor provides a PNP switching output, which is commonly used in industrial control systems.
What are the power requirements for this sensor?
The WTV18-2P420 requires a supply voltage of 10 V DC to 30 V DC to operate effectively.
What materials are used in the construction of the WTV18-2P420?
The housing of the sensor is made of ABS plastic, and the optical system is made of PMMA plastic, ensuring durability and resistance to industrial conditions.
How can the detection range be adjusted on the WTV18-2P420?
The detection range can be fine-tuned using a 9-turn potentiometer, allowing for precise adjustments to suit different application requirements.
What type of connection does the WTV18-2P420 use?
The sensor utilises an M12, 4-pin connector for easy and secure electrical connection.
What certifications does the WTV18-2P420 hold?
The sensor is classified under several eCl@ss and ETIM standards, which are detailed in its datasheet, indicating compliance with industry standards for electronic data exchange.
