Hardware Manual

1 Instruction Manual
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 V 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 cabled 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.

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, QS186E W/30.
To order the 4-pin M12/Euro-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q8" to the model number. For
example, QS186EQ8.
To order the 4-pin M8/Pico-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q7" to the model number. For example,
QS186EQ7.
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q5" to the
model number. For example, QS186EQ5.
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q" to the model
number. For example, QS186EQ.
Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.
