The Wacker Neuson 5000170949 Infrared Sensor is a genuine OEM infrared sensor designed for the RT and RTL/RTK series remote-controlled vibratory trench rollers, including RT82-SC2, RT56-SC2, RTLx-SC3, RTKx-SC3, RTL82-SC3, and RTx-SC2 models. As a direct Wacker Neuson OEM part, the part is manufactured to the same specifications as the original component installed at the factory, ensuring accurate detection performance and full system compatibility. This sensor also fits select DPU reversible vibratory plate compactor models, including the DPU 130Le and DPU 7060Fe series. Confirm your machine's model and serial number against the fitment list before ordering to ensure correct application.
Key Features
- Genuine OEM Signal Accuracy — Manufactured to Wacker Neuson's original detection and output specifications, ensuring the sensor reads and transmits correctly within the machine's control system.
- Direct Drop-In Replacement — Engineered to match the original mounting configuration and connector interface of the RT and RTL/RTK trench roller series for straightforward installation.
- Broad RT Series Compatibility — Fits RT82-SC2, RT56-SC2, RTLx-SC3, RTKx-SC3, RTL82-SC3, RTx-SC2, and select DPU plate compactor models, covering multiple SC2 and SC3 generation machines.
- Critical Control System Component — A functioning infrared sensor is essential for position detection and remote-control response on trench rollers; a failed sensor can cause erratic machine behavior or loss of operational control.
- Operational Safety Relevance — On remote-controlled trench rollers, accurate sensor function directly supports safe, predictable machine response — replacing a faulty sensor promptly helps maintain safe site operation.
The infrared sensor on Wacker Neuson remote-controlled trench rollers is responsible for detecting signals and positional data used by the machine's control system to govern movement and operational response. On remote-operated equipment like the RT and RTL/RTK series, this sensor acts as a critical link between the operator's commands and the machine's actions. When the sensor degrades or fails, the result can be delayed, inconsistent, or lost response to remote inputs — making prompt replacement essential for both productivity and safe operation on the trench.
