2 Intended use
The WTL16 Bluetooth®, WTS16 Bluetooth® is an opto-electronic photoelectric proxim‐
ity sensor (referred to as “sensor” in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection
of objects, animals, and persons. If the product is used for any other purpose or modi‐
fied in any way, any warranty claim against SICK AG shall become void.

4 Mounting
Mount the sensor using a suitable mounting bracket (see the SICK range of acces‐
sories).
Note the sensor’s maximum permissible tightening torque of < 1,3 Nm.
Note the preferred direction of the object relative to the sensor, see figure 1, figure 2
(only applies to WTL16).
5 Electrical installation
The sensors must be connected in a voltage-free state (UV = 0 V). The following informa‐
tion must be observed, depending on the connection type:
– Male connector connection: Note pin assignment.
– Cable: wire color
Only apply voltage/switch on the voltage supply (UV > 0 V) once all electrical connec‐
tions have been established.

6 Commissioning
Bluetooth® is switched on for initial commissioning. You can get SOPASair in the Google
PlayStore (Android) and in the App Store (iOS).
Operating system requirements: Android version 6.0, most current version of iOS.
Alignment
WTL16 Bluetooth®, WTS16 Bluetooth®: Align sensor on object. Select the position so
that the red emitted light beam hits the center of the object. You must ensure that the
optical opening (front screen) of the sensor is completely clear [figure 5].
NOTE
For WTS16: If the objects are detected from above, we recommend installing the sen‐
sor at an angle in order to prevent total reflection by a reflective surface, see figure 11,
figure 14.

Sensing range
Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and distance to the object
or background and the remission capability of the object according to the correspond‐
ing diagram [see figure 6 and figure 7] (x = sensing range, y = minimum distance
between set sensing range and background (white 90%)). Remission: 6% = black 1,
18% = gray 2, 90% = white 3 (referring to standard white as per DIN 5033). We rec‐
ommend making the adjustments using an object with a low remission.
The minimum distance (= y) for background suppression can be determined from dia‐
gram [figure 61] as follows:
Example: x = 200 mm, y = 15 mm. That is, the background (white, 90%) is suppressed
at a distance of > 15 mm from the sensor.

WTL16x-xxxxxx2xAxx, WTS16x-xxxxxx2xAxx with press-turn element:
The sensing range is adjusted by pressing the teach-in button (approx. 1-3 sec.).
Depending on the requirements, the potentiometer can be used for fine-tuning (without
pressing the teach-in button).
Clockwise rotation: sensing range increased.
Counterclockwise rotation: sensing range reduced.
The sensing range can also be adjusted using just the potentiometer. We recommend
placing the object within the sensing range, see figure 8 for an example. Once the sens‐
ing range has been adjusted, the object is removed from the path of the beam, which
causes the background to be suppressed and the switching output to change (see
table 1 and see table 2).
