Miniature sensors with visible red LED or visible red laser

LASER

ADJUSTABLE-FIELD

(some models)

Features

• Exceptional optical performance, comparable to larger sensors

• Simple multi-turn screw adjustment of cutoff distance

• 10 to 30V dc operation, with complementary (SPDT) NPN or PNP outputs, depending on

model

• Less than 1 millisecond output response for excellent sensing repeatability

Laser Models:

• Narrow effective beam (approx. 1 mm spot size) for small-object detection and precise po-

sition control

• Crosstalk rejection algorithm to avoid optical disturbance from adjacent sensors

• Class 2 models have reduced excess gain within 20 mm of sensor for decreased suscepti-

bility to the effects of lens contamination and to allow use of external lens shield

* Only standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed.

For 9 m (30 ft) cables: add suffix “W/30” to the model number (e.g., QS18VN6AF100 W/30).

For 4-pin Pico-style pigtail QD: add suffix “Q” to the model number (e.g., QS18VN6AF100Q); accessory mating cordset required, see

Quick-Disconnet (QD) Cordsets on page 9.

For 4-pin Euro-style pigtail QD: add suffix “Q5” to the model number (e.g., QS18VN6AF100Q5); accessory mating cordset required,

see Quick-Disconnet (QD) Cordsets on page 9.

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to seri-

ous injury or death. This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to

allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an ener-

gized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Overview

The QS18 Adjustable-Field Sensors are a full-featured sensor in a miniature package. It provides background suppression sensing capa-

bility for small or difficult-to-reach areas. Models are available with a visible red LED sensing beam, or one of two visible red lasers (see

Models on page 1).
