Distance and Measurement Sensors
SICK DT50-P1113 Sensor
SICK DT50-P1113 laser distance sensor, part 1044369, PNP. Precise laser distance measurement for rolls, conveyors and bulk level monitoring.
Overview
The SICK DT50-P1113 (part number 1044369) is a laser distance sensor of the DT50 family with PNP output configuration. It measures distances to targets with visible red laser light and is widely used for positioning, diameter and level monitoring on industrial machinery.
How It Works
The sensor emits modulated laser pulses and evaluates the returned light to compute the distance. The measured value feeds switching and proportional outputs. Distance-based evaluation keeps the result stable regardless of the target's color and surface structure.
Key Features
- Precise laser distance measurement in the DT50 distance class

Installation and Setup Notes
Mount the sensor with a rigid bracket, aim the visible spot at a representative flat area, and lock the alignment. Verify switching points with the actual target, and where a proportional output is used, calibrate against two known distances. Clean the optical window as part of the maintenance plan.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DT50 and Dx50?
They are different SICK distance sensor families; the DT50 works with visible red light distance measurement, while the Dx50 family is the infrared laser mid-range series.
Can it measure shiny plastic film?
Strongly reflective film can return a diffuse scattering pattern; test the installation angle for a stable reading.
Is the light spot dangerous?
It is a classified industrial laser; avoid direct eye exposure as standard practice.
