A pair of model L2 lenses extends the opposed range to 2 m (80 in). A pair of model L08FP lenses extends opposed range to 3 m (10 ft). See the photoelectric sensors catalog for lens details. ii) Diffuse mode sensing with Q23FPY models is generally not recommended due to low excess gain. If in doubt about sensing performance, contact the factory Application Engineering Department or your local Banner Sales Engineer to discuss diffuse mode applications. page 4 Q23 and QH23 Series Q23 & QH23 Product Specifications Supply Voltage and Current 10 to 30V dc (10% maximum ripple) at less than 25 mA for diffuse, retro, and fiber optic models (exclusive of load) Opposed emitters and receivers draw 20 mA each Supply Protection Circuitry Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages 0utput Configuration Solid-state dc complementary outputs: Q(H)23SN6xx models = NPN sinking, N.O. (normally open) & N.C. (normally closed) complementary Q(H)23SP6xx models = PNP sourcing, N.O. & N.C. complementary Light operate: N.O. output conducts when the sensor sees its own modulated light source Dark operate: N.C. output conducts when the sensing beam is blocked The N.C. output may be used as an alarm output, depending upon hookup to the power supply (see hookup diagrams) Output Rating 150 mA maximum each in standard hookup; when wired for alarm output, the total load may not exceed 150 mA Off-state leakage current less than 1 microamp at 30V dc Output saturation voltage less than 1 volt at 10mA dc; less than 1.5V at 150 mA dc Output Protection Circuitry Protected against false pulse on power-up, transient voltages, and continuous overload or short-circuit of outputs Output Response Time 1 millisecond "on" and "off" (except for Q23FPY high-speed sensors which have 100 microsecond response time); no false pulse on power-up (NOTE: 100 millisecond delay on power-up: outputs are non-conducting during this time.) Repeatability All Opposed Modes: 0.13 ms; Retro and Diffuse: 0.25 ms; FPY High speed Plastic Fiber Optic: 25 microseconds Response time and repeatability specifications are independent of signal strength. Adjustments SENSITIVITY control (single-turn, o-ring sealed potentiometer) Indicators Sensors except opposed mode emitters have two LEDs: GREEN glowing steadily = dc power "on" GREEN flashing = output overload YELLOW glowing steadily = normally open output is conducting YELLOW flashing = marginal excess gain (1 - 1.5x), light condition; flashing YELLOW corresponds to "on" state of alarm output Emitters have green power "on" indicator Construction Yellow and black ABS housing, with acrylic lens and clear ABS top cover, completely sealed. Stainless steel mounting bracket and M3 mounting hardware are supplied Environmental Rating Meets NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 12, and 13; IEC IP67. Housing materials rated UL 94 V-0 Connections PVC-jacketed 4-conductor 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cables, or 6-inch pigtail with 4-pin pico-style quick disconnect (QD) fitting are available. Mating QD cables are ordered separately. See Accessories. Operating Temperature Temperature: -20 to +55C (-5 to +131F) Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50C (non-condensing) Application Note To avoid damage to the sensor caused by static discharge (ESD), use the plastic screwdriver supplied with each sensor (included in the hardware packet) to adjust the SENSITIVITY control. Otherwise, use a screwdriver with an insulated handle. Certifications Quick Disconnect (QD) Option Q23 & QH23 sensors are sold either with a 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) attached PVC-covered cable or with a 4-pin pico-style QD connector on a 150 mm (6 in) cable pigtail. Q23 & QH23 QD sensors are identified by the letter "Q" in their model number suffix. Mating cables for QD sensors are model PKG4-2 (straight connector) or PKW4-2 (right-angled connector). Cables are supplied in a standard length of 2 m (6.5 ft).
