Datasheet

Miniature self-contained photoelectric sensors in universal housing

• Easily fits (or retrofits) almost any mounting situation

• Exceptional optical performance, comparable to larger “MINI-style” or barrel sensors

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

model

• Bright LED operating status indicators are visible from 360°

• Rugged sealed housing, protected circuitry

• Models available with or without 18 mm threaded “nose”

• Less than 1 millisecond output response for excellent sensing repeatability

• Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable or 150 mm (6 inch) Pico-style pigtail QD

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.

QD Models. For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix “Q8” (for example, QS186EQ8). For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD,

add suffix “Q7” (for example, QS186EQ7). For 4-pin 150 mm (6 in) Euro-style pigtail, add suffix “Q5” (for example,

QS186EQ5). For 4-pin 150 mm (6 in) Pico-style pigtail, add suffix “Q” (for example, QS186EQ).

WORLD-BEAM QS18 Installing Fibers Cutting Unterminated Plastic Fibers QS18V..6FP Unterminated plastic fibers are designed to be cut by the user to the length required for the application. To facilitate cutting, a Banner model PFC-1 cutting device is supplied with the fiber. Cut the fiber as follows: Lift to Open Ports Use small ports for fiber sizes: Cutting Ports • • 0.25 mm (0.01 inches) 0.5 mm (0.02 inches) Use large ports for fiber sizes: • • • 0.75 mm (0.03 inches) 1.0 mm (0.04 inches) 1.

WORLD-BEAM QS18 Installing Glass Fibers QS18V..6F Follow these steps to install the glass fibers. Retaining Clip O-rings Figure 3. Installing Glass Fibers 1. Slide the supplied o-ring on the sensor end of the fibers, as shown. 2. Press the fiber ends firmly into the ports located on the front of the sensor. 3. Slide the supplied u-shaped retaining clip into the slot in the sensor’s barrel until the clip snaps into place.
