Before selecting an alternative, confirm its dimensions, terminals and installation requirements in the manufacturer documentation.
Where it sits in the control system
The WE34-V240 is the device-level element in a SICK photoelectric sensor installation. It receives the field signals and control supply listed above — 10...30 V DC — and switches or conditions the load within the the rated ratings shown in the Specifications table. Wiring and protective devices are sized to those same numbers, not to a generic assumption.
Typical installations place it in conveyor object detection, machine guarding, position feedback, where the unit is matched to the original catalog number and the enclosure provides standard panel or DIN-rail support. Record the catalog number and revision from the nameplate of the installed unit before specifying a like-for-like spare.
Selection notes for SICK WE34-V240
SICK WE34-V240 — Sensor or detector for object detection, distance measurement and status feedback on production lines. The figures below are taken from the specification table on this page for catalog number WE34-V240; confirm the installed unit's part number and revision so the replacement matches both electrically and mechanically.
- Enclosure rating: IP67 (IEC 60529) — Verify it in the project documentation before confirming the order.
- Dimensions (H x W x D): 27 mm x 92 mm x 70 mm — Check this value against the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
- Supply voltage: 10...30 V DC — Match it to the existing panel and upstream protection.
- Weight: 0.355 Kilograms — Record it with the other nameplate data when sourcing a replacement.
Datasheets and compliance documents are available on request; quote the full catalog number when enquiring.
Common questions about WE34-V240
Q.Which value is published under enclosure rating for catalog number WE34-V240?
For WE34-V240, enclosure rating is given as IP67 (IEC 60529). Check the revision of the installed unit if the catalog number has been superseded.
Q.Before ordering WE34-V240, which operating temperature entry should be checked?
The operating temperature entry quoted above is -25...+70 °C. Compare it with the nameplate of the installed unit before ordering.
Q.Where can I find the certifications data for WE34-V240?
It is listed in the specification table for SICK WE34-V240 as CE, cULus. Confirm this figure against the unit currently in the panel.
Q.What should I include in an enquiry for WE34-V240?
Send the full catalog number WE34-V240, the required quantity and a photo of the nameplate. Stock, lead time and the applicable compliance documents can then be confirmed for SICK WE34-V240.
Q.Can the WE34-V240 replace the unit currently installed in my panel?
Compare catalog number WE34-V240 and the ratings above with the nameplate of the installed device. A current-production equivalent is selected by function and electrical rating, not by the label alone.
