• Excellent noise immunity

• Excellent optical performance throughout the sensing range

• Easy two frequency selection to help prevent crosstalk, see Application Note on

page 3

• Easy-to-read operating status indicators with bargraph display

• Bipolar discrete outputs, PNP and NPN

• Light Operate and Dark Operate models available

• Models available with 2 m or 9 m (6.5' or 30') cable or quick-disconnect fitting

• Tough ABS housing is rated IEC IP67; NEMA 6P; QD models are washdown tes-

ted to DIN 40050-9 (IP69K)

• Unique water/debris-shedding lens design reduces lens contamination; lens mate-

rial survives impact, washdown and cleaning chemicals

• Encapsulated electronics

• Compact housing — mounting versatility via popular 30 mm threaded barrel or

side-mount

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury

or death. This product 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-ener-

gized sensor output condition.

Overview

Banner QS30 Series high-power opposed-mode sensors are extremely rugged, powerful and leakproof. They are designed to withstand

the most demanding industrial applications, including high-pressure washdown areas. They are powerful enough to burn through heavy

fog, dust, and most types of industrial and process contamination.

The sensor’s electronics are epoxy-encapsulated for maximum resistance to mechanical shock and vibration. The popular WORLD-

BEAM-style housing provides multiple mounting configurations in a minimum of space.

The innovative circuitry used in these sensors provides the best EMI/RFI noise immunity of any non-synchronized emitter/receiver pair.

For applications where optical crosstalk between multiple sensor pairs may be a problem, the sensors provide a choice between two

frequencies (A and B). (Each emitter must be set to the same frequency as its receiver, see Sensor Alignment on page 2.)

Light Operate and Dark Operate outputs are available, depending on the model. Each model has two outputs that switch simultaneously:

one each NPN (sinking) and PNP (sourcing).

Additional configuration options are available; contact the factory for information about the following options:

• Additional modulation frequency choices (up to four)

• Modified sensor gain

• ON-delay or OFF-delay settings

• Fixed modulation frequency models

Each sensor has a green Power ON/OFF indicator and yellow indicators for the selected modulation frequency. In addition, receivers

have a yellow LED that lights when the outputs are conducting, plus a 4-element light bar that indicates signal strength, relative to the

switch point (the higher the number lit, the more light is received).

Figure 3. Receiver and Emitter Indicators

Sensor Configuration

The modulation frequency (A or B) is selected by the state of the gray wire (on cabled models; pin 5 on QD models – see hookups...). A

“+” voltage or no connection selects frequency A; connecting it to “-” selects frequency B.

To disable (or inhibit) the emitter LED for testing the receiver, attach the white wire to “-” voltage.

Sensor Alignment

Adjust the emitter first, then the receiver. Verify that both sensors are wired for the same modulation frequency, then adjust the emitter’s

position until the receiver signal strength light bar indicates its highest amount of signal received (the highest number lit). Tighten the

emitter mounting hardware, then repeat the process for the receiver.

To achieve the best crosstalk immunity, position a single matched emitter within the receiver's field of view (15 degrees). When it is

necessary to position an alternate emitter in the receiver's field of view, sensor alignment is required to ensure the matched frequency

emitter provides the stronger signal to its receiver, and the alternate frequency emitter does not reduce the signal strength of the receiver

(as indicated by the 4-element signal strength light).

Application Notes

1. When multiple sensors are used in close proximity

(see Figure 1 for separation distance), position sen-

sors such that the alternate frequency emitter is not

within the receiver's field of view. Contact the Banner

Application team for additional information.

2. Prolonged outdoor use in direct sunlight may cloud

the lens. Contact Banner for other outdoor solutions.
