■
be protected by a 1 A fuse suitable for 30 V DC. Adapters listed by UL with connec‐
tion cables are available. Enclosure type 1.
When commissioning, protect the device from moisture and contamination.

the sensor.
The WS/WE14-2 is an opto-electronic through-beam photoelectric sensor (referred to
as "sensor" 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 pro‐
duct 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 receiver according to the corresponding diagram (x = sensing range, y = opera‐
ting reserve).
If several through-beam photoelectric sensors which are installed next to one ano‐
ther are to be used, we recommend swapping the sender/receiver arrangement at
every second through-beam photoelectric sensor and ensuring that there is suffici‐
ent distance between the through-beam photoelectric sensors. By doing this,
mutual interference can be prevented [cf. F].
