Overview
The Sick ZT1-P0800S04 photoelectric sensor is a miniature detection solution for standard industrial applications. Part number 1044231, this Sick ZT1 series sensor delivers precision detection in a compact footprint, ideal for conveyor systems, vending machines, and automated production equipment where space is limited and reliable switching is essential.
Key Features
- Miniature form factor optimized for space-constrained installations
- Transparent housing with 360° status indication
- Straight cable outlet for straightforward field connections
- Economical design without sacrificing detection accuracy
- Suitable for background suppression, retro-reflective, or energetic sensing modes
- Non-adjustable configuration reduces setup time
Technical Specifications
Specific electrical and operational parameters for the ZT1-P0800S04 should be verified against the manufacturer datasheet prior to integration. Standard Sick ZT1 series sensors typically feature:
- Supply voltage: 10–30 VDC (nominal 12/24 VDC)
- Output type: Digital (PNP or NPN switchable, model-dependent)
- Response time: Millisecond-range switching
- Operating temperature: Industrial-grade ambient range
- Mounting: M18 threaded or slotted side-through holes
- Housing: Plastic or metal variants available
- IP rating: IP67 for industrial duty cycle
Typical Applications
