The WS/WE14-2 is an opto-electronic through-beam photoelectric sensor (referred to
as "sensor" in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals,
and persons. A sender (WS) and a receiver (WE) are required for operation. If the pro‐
duct is used for any other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against
SICK AG shall become void.

1 Observe the application conditions: Adjust the distance between the sender and
the receiver according to the corresponding diagram (x = sensing range, y = opera‐
ting reserve).
If several through-beam photoelectric sensors which are installed next to one ano‐
ther are to be used, we recommend swapping the sender/receiver arrangement at
every second through-beam photoelectric sensor and ensuring that there is suffici‐
ent distance between the through-beam photoelectric sensors. By doing this,
mutual interference can be prevented [cf. F].
