VS2 Series Over view
VS2 Series miniature self-contained sensors are designed for precision sensing in small areas previously accessible only to remote
or fiber optic models. Typical applications include mounting inside vibrating feeders and electronic component
handling equipment, where larger sensors will not fit.

VS2 Series Specifications
Supply Voltage and Current
Supply Protection Circuitry Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output Configuration SPST solid-state switch
Choose NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) models
Choose light operate (N.O.) or dark operate (N.C.) models
Output Rating 50 mA maximum
Off-state leakage current: < 1 microamp at 24V dc
On-state saturation voltage: < 0.25V at 10 mA dc; < 0.5V at 50 mA dc
Output Protection Circuitry Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short circuit of outputs
Overload trip point ≥100 mA
Output Response Time 1 millisecond ON and OFF
(NOTE: 150 millisecond delay maximum on power-up: output does not conduct during this time)
Indicators Two LEDs: Green and Yellow
GREEN ON steadily = power to sensor is ON
GREEN flashing = output overload
YELLOW ON steadily = light is sensed
Repeatability 160 microseconds
Construction Black ABS housing with acrylic lens
Environmental Rating IEC IP67; NEMA 6
Connections 2 m (6.5') attached cable: three #28 ga stranded conductors with PE insulation; PVC outer cable jacket;
or 3-pin Pico-style pigtail quick-disconnect fitting. QD cables are ordered separately.
Operating Conditions Temperature: -20° to +55°C (-4° to +131°F)
Maximum Relative Humidity: 80% at 50°C (non-condensing)
Vibration and
Mechanical Shock Vibration: All models meet IEC 60068-2-6, IEC 60947-5-2, UL491 Section 40, MIL-STD-202F Method 201A;
10 to 60 Hz, 0.5 mm peak to peak
Shock: All models meet IEC 60068-2-27, IEC 60947-5-2; 30g peak acceleration, 11 millisecond pulse
duration, half-sine wave pulse shape
10 to 30V dc (10% maximum ripple) at less than 25 mA (exclusive of load)
