Commissioning
Read the operating instructions before commissioning.
■
Connection, mounting, and setting may only be performed by trained specialists.
■
Not a safety component in accordance with the EU Machinery Directive.
■
When commissioning, protect the device from moisture and contamination.

The WS/WE100-2 is an opto-electronic through-beam photoelectric sensor (referred to as "sen‐
sor" in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and persons. A
sender (WS) and a receiver (WE) are required for operation. If the product is used for any other
purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.

Observe the application conditions: Adjust the distance between the sender and the recei‐
ver according to the corresponding diagram (x = sensing range, y = operating reserve).
If several through-beam photoelectric sensors which are installed next to one another are to
be used, we recommend swapping the sender/receiver arrangement at every second
through-beam photoelectric sensor and ensuring that there is sufficient distance between
the through-beam photoelectric sensors. By doing this, mutual interference can be preven‐
ted [cf. F].
