Plastic Fiber Optic Models

Lower in cost than glass fiber optics, plastic fiber optics are ideal for use in situations where environmental conditions

allow (for example, low levels of acids, alkalis, and solvents). Most are easily cut to length in the field, and are available

in a variety of sensing end styles. For more information on compatible plastic fiber optics, refer to your current catalog.

Diffuse mode performance curves are based on a 90% reflectance white test card.

Range: Range varies by sensing mode and fiber optics used.

Output Type: SPDT Electro-mechanical relay

Q45VR2FPQ

5-Pin Mini-style QD

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. (For example: Q45VR2FP W/30.) Models with

a quick disconnect (QD) connector require a mating cable.

Overview

Status indicator LEDs for power, signal, and output are clearly visible beneath a raised dome in the sensor’s transparent o-ring-sealed

polycarbonate cover. Also located beneath the sensor’s o-ring-sealed cover are controls for light/dark operate selection and the

sensitivity adjustment.

• The power indicator (green) lights when power is applied to the sensor.

• The signal indicator (red) lights when the sensor sees its modulated light source and pulses at a rate proportional to the

• The output indicator (amber) lights when the sensor’s output is conducting. This indicator is especially useful when a timing

logic module is used and signal and output conditions are not concurrent.
