1613854

Overview

The SICK model 1613854 is a WTB4S-3N1361 proximity optical sensor designed for non-contact detection. It operates within a supply voltage range of 10 V to 30 V and features an NPN output interface. The sensing distance is adjustable from 4 mm to 180 mm (0.157 inches to 7.087 inches). This component utilizes optical technology to detect the presence or absence of objects, providing reliable signal output for industrial automation applications requiring precise proximity monitoring.

Feature Summary

• Optical proximity sensing mechanism
• Adjustable detection range capability
• NPN switching output configuration

Applications

• Object presence detection in automated assembly lines
• Position verification in packaging machinery
• Safety interlock monitoring systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering code matches 1613854 exactly to ensure the correct WTB4S series variant with NPN output. Confirm the specific cable length and connector type requirements against the official datasheet specifications before finalizing the purchase order to avoid compatibility issues with existing control interfaces.

Selection Notes

Select this unit when a compact optical sensor with an NPN output is required for proximity tasks. Ensure the application environment falls within the specified electrical limits and that the target object reflectivity supports the 4 mm to 180 mm detection range. Verify mounting constraints align with the physical dimensions of the WTB4S housing.

Part Context

This part belongs to the WTB4S series of optical sensors manufactured by SICK. The series is characterized by robust construction suitable for industrial environments. Model 1613854 specifically denotes the version with NPN output logic and the defined sensing range, distinguishing it from PNP or analog variants within the same product family.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitution requires matching the NPN output type and the 4-180 mm sensing range. Verify pinout compatibility if replacing legacy units. Cross-reference with other WTB4S SKUs having identical electrical characteristics and mechanical footprint.
