The minimum distance (= y) for background suppression can be determined from
diagram [H] as follows:
Example: x = 125 mm, y = 12.5% => 12.5% % of 125 mm = 15.63 mm. That is,
the background is suppressed at a distance of > 140.63mm from the sensor.

2 Mount the sensor using a suitable mounting bracket (see the SICK range of acces‐
sories).
Note the sensor's maximum permissible tightening torque of 0.8 Nm.
Note the preferred direction of the object relative to the sensor [see A].
3 The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state (V
S
= 0 V). The information
in the graphics [B] must be observed, depending on the type of connection:
–
Male connector connection: pin assignment
–
Cable: wire color

tions have been completed. The green LED indicator lights up on the sensor.

Switching outputs Q and /Q (according to Graphic B):
WTB4-3Exxxx and WTB4-3Fxxxx
D: dark-switching, output (Q) switches off when an object is present in the sensing
range.
WTB4-3P1361 and WTB4-3Px1xx
WTB4-3N1361 and WTB3Nx1xx
L: light switching, output (Q) switches when an object is present in the sensing
range.
WTB4-3P1161 and WTB4-3N1161
WTB4-3Px261 and WTB4-3Nx261

4 Align the sensor with the object. Select the position so that the red emitted light
beam hits the center of the object. You must ensure that the optical opening (front
screen) of the sensor is completely clear [E]. We recommend making the adjust‐
ments using an object with a low remission.
