Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix matches the required cable or connector type, as variants exist within the VL18 series. Confirm that the C110A reflector is included or ordered separately, as it is essential for operation. Check for any environmental certifications required for your specific installation zone. Ensure the supply voltage aligns with the electrical specifications in the official datasheet before finalizing the purchase order.

Selection Notes

Select this model for applications requiring precise detection within a short range using retro-reflective technology. The M18 form factor allows for standard mounting solutions. Consider the visible red light for easier alignment during setup compared to infrared alternatives. Evaluate the 3.7-meter maximum range against your specific obstacle distances to ensure reliable signal reflection from the target surface.
