Instruction Manual

Miniature self-contained photoelectric sensors in universal housing
Bright, visible red (640 nm) light source
Standard models available with 4-wire 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable or 3 or 4-wire
150 mm (6 in) pigtail with Pico-style M8 threaded connector
Solid-state, bipolar outputs: one current sourcing (PNP) and one current sinking (NPN)
standard on 4-wire models
Single output solid-state PNP or NPN standard on Q3 models
Light Operate (L.O.) or Dark Operate (D.O.), depending on model
Models available with PFA chemical-resistant jacket (1200 psi washdown rated) for
use in harsh environments (see Chemical-Resistant Models on page 1).
Compact 8 mm (0.31 in) housing mounts almost anywhere
Crosstalk avoidance circuitry for applications with multiple sensors
LED status indicators for Power ON, Output Overload, Signal Received, and Marginal
Signal
Models with black housing are available

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.
