• Advanced one-piece photoelectric sensors with outstanding optical performance and

extremely rugged design

• Universal supply voltage: 12 to 250 V dc or 24 to 250 V ac

• Electromechanical relay for economical, high-capacity switching and immunity to electrical

noise

• Multiple sensing modes available: opposed, diffuse, retroreflective, and convergent, plus glass

and plastic fiber optic models

• Selectable light/dark operate

• Versatile plug-in modules available for output timing logic and/or signal strength display

• Choice of prewired 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) unterminated cable or Mini-style quick-

disconnect fitting

• Versatile mounting options

• Designed to withstand 1200 psi washdown; exceeds its NEMA 6P and IEC IP67 rating

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or

death. This device 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 energized or de-energized sensor output

condition.

Models

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example: Q453E W/30.

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

Opposed-Mode Emitter (E) and Receiver (R) Models

Because of their extremely high excess gain, these opposed-mode sensors are an excellent option for sensing

in contaminated or dirty areas, and are also the best choice for long-range sensing.

Retroreflective-Mode Models

The visible red sensing beam of these sensors makes them very easy to align. Model Q45VR3LP

polarizes the emitted light and filters out unwanted reflections, making sensing possible in

applications otherwise considered unsuited to retroreflective sensing. Specified using the model

BRT-3 3-inch reflector (go to www.bannerengineering.com for additional information).
