Correct use
The HL18 is an opto-electronic photoelectric retro-reflective sensor (referred to as "sen‐
sor" in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and per‐
sons. A reflector is required for this product to function. If the product is used for any
other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become
void.
The HL18 sensor complies with the Radio Safety Requirements (EMC) for the industrial
