Distance and Measurement Sensors
SICK DT50-N1113 Sensor
SICK DT50-N1113 laser distance sensor, NPN configuration. Visible red light distance measurement for positioning, diameter and level monitoring.
Overview
The SICK DT50-N1113 is a photoelectric distance sensor of the DT50 family with visible red light. It combines long, precise laser distance measurement with a compact housing and serves positioning, diameter and level monitoring tasks across packaging, logistics and processing machinery.
How It Works
The sensor determines distance from the runtime behavior of the emitted laser light. The visible red spot simplifies alignment on the target. Evaluation is based on distance, so readings remain stable across dark, bright and structured surfaces.
Key Features
- Mid-to-long range laser distance measurement
- Visible red light for precise alignment
- NPN output configuration (N order code)
- Stable readings independent of target color
- Rugged housing with clean optical interface
- Suitable for continuous distance monitoring
Typical Applications
- Winding diameter supervision on converting machines
- Positioning of cranes and transfer systems
- Level checks in bulk storage hoppers
- Monitoring of stack heights on palletizing lines
- Distance verification on assembly transport systems

Installation and Setup Notes
Fix the sensor rigidly and aim the visible spot at a flat target area. Set the switching distances with the real target and check the distance reading against a reference. Avoid mounting where condensation can form on the optical window; wipe the window clean during scheduled maintenance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What output does the N variant use?
An NPN switching configuration, common in PLC environments that sink to ground.
Can it measure through dust?
Moderate dust reduces the signal; the family tolerates it better than diffuse presence sensors, but heavy dust requires regular cleaning.
How does it compare with the DT35?
The DT50 family covers longer distance classes; the DT35 is the more compact mid-range option.
