The PNP output switches at 100 mA load current with a 500 µs response time, making it suitable for high-speed object detection on conveyor lines or packaging machinery. Rated IP66, IP67, IP68, and IP69, the sensor body and optics withstand high-pressure washdown and temporary submersion — a fit for food-and-beverage processing or outdoor material handling where sanitation protocols demand aggressive cleaning. Operating voltage spans 10 V to 30 V, with a temperature range of -30 °C to 60 °C, covering freezer-zone logistics and heated factory environments without derating. The 15.25 mm wide housing fits into tight panel layouts or machine frames where space is at a premium. The M8 4-pin connector simplifies field replacement — no hardwiring, just unplug and swap, reducing downtime on a down line. Switching type is selectable between Light-ON and Dark-ON via the wiring, giving the integrator flexibility to match the sensor logic to the existing control scheme without a separate configuration tool.","metaTitle":"WLG4S-3P2232V Photoelectric Retro-Reflective Sensor, 5 m, PN","metaDescription":"WLG4S-3P2232V retro-reflective sensor from W4S-3 series. 5 m range, PNP output, 500 µs response, IP66/67/68/69, M8 connector.

It also uses a red laser rather than a PinPoint LED, and its IP rating stops at IP67 — no IP68/IP69.
