Technical Datasheet: wenglor XD100PA3

Part Number / Type: XD100PA3

Product Category: Retro-Reflex Sensor Universal (Reflexionslichtschranke)

1. Product Characteristics & Application

• Sensor Type: Photoelectric Retro-Reflex Sensor (Requires a matching retro-reflector/reflector target to bounce the light beam back to the internal receiver optics).

• Housing Design: Cylindrical threaded barrel type (M18 standard industrial frame size).

• Light Source: Visible red light, providing an explicit, easy-to-track light spot for immediate physical installation and target alignment.

• Special Features: Part of wenglor’s versatile “Universal” range series. It features an adjustable multi-turn potentiometer on the rear red cap to tune the optical sensitivity threshold. Perfect for automated industrial conveyor lines, clear object detection loops, pallet presence tracking, and high-speed packaging machinery channels.

2. Electrical Data

• Operating Voltage ($U_B$): 10…30 V DC

• Electrical Design: DC PNP

• Output Function: Light-ON / Dark-ON selectable (Antivalent/complementary output logic layout configured depending on your pin selection).

• Approvals: CE Certified, EAC compliant, Protection Class III.

3. Performance & Protection Data

• Short-Circuit Protection: Yes (Cyclic)

• Reverse Polarity Protection: Yes

• Overload Protection: Yes

• Switching Frequency: High responsive cycle frequency engineered for dense production paths, immediate part counting networks, and real-time process monitoring synchronization.

4. Mechanical & Environmental Data

• Dimensions: M18 × 1 mm standard industrial metric threads with a robust front optical lens pane.

• Housing Material: Rugged metal barrel body with exceptional structural wear and chemical resistance.

• Ingress Protection Rating: IP67 ruggedized sealing parameters against dust, high-pressure water streams, and common machine lubricants.

• Ambient Operating Temperature: Optimized for standard factory automated settings.

• Manufacturer: wenglor sensoric GmbH, Germany.

5. Electrical Connection & Wiring Layout

The sensor features an integrated rear-facing male circular plug connector hub (M12 × 1, 4-pin configuration).

Standard Pinout Mapping (wenglor Retro-Reflex Series Standard):

• Pin 1 (Brown): + Supply Voltage Input (10…30 V DC)

• Pin 2 (White): Complementary Output Channel / Dark-ON Output

• Pin 3 (Blue): 0V Ground / Common Reference Line

• Pin 4 (Black): Primary Output Switching Signal / Light-ON Output (PNP Load)
