SICK ZL1-F2460S03 Photoelectric Sensor

The SICK ZL1-F2460S03 is a compact retro-reflective photoelectric sensor that detects objects via reflections from an external reflector, delivering a sensing range from 0.1 to 4.8 meters. It measures 13.6 mm wide by 34.8 mm high by 23 mm deep and uses an M18×1 threaded mount with a hybrid housing design for flexible mounting. The device operates on 10–30 V DC and draws about 20 mA, providing a PNP switching output with dark-switching behavior and a 660 nm visible red light with a light spot of Ø125 mm at 1 m. It requires an external reflector (PL80A) and is identified by part number 1044597 on the Z-Sensor family. The data sheet notes an average service life of up to 100,000 hours at +25°C, underscoring its suitability for continuous operation in industrial environments.
