The WT100-2 is an opto-electronic photoelectric proximity sensor (referred to as "sensor" in the
following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and persons. If the product is
used for any other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall
become void.
Photoelectric proximity sensor with background suppression
1 Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and distance to the object or
background and the remission capability of the object according to the corresponding dia‐
gram [H] (x = sensing range, y = transition range between the set sensing range and sup‐
pression of the background as a % of the sensing range (object remission/background
remission). Remission: 6% = black, 18% = gray, 90% = white (referring to standard white as
per DIN 5033).
The minimum distance (= y) for background suppression can be determined from diagram
[H] as follows:
Example: x = 50 mm, y = 30 % => 30 % of 50 mm = 15 mm. That is, the background is
suppressed at a distance of > 65 mm from the sensor.
