P/N 112355 rev. A

Features

  • Visible class 1 laser with small, effective beam size

  • Excellent optical performance throughout sensing range, even close up

  •  Easy push-button SET options: Maximum Excess Gain or Low-Contrast SET, 

depending on model, plus Manual Adjust

  • Easy-to-read operating status indicators, with 8-segment bargraph display

  • Bipolar discrete outputs, PNP and NPN  

  • Selectable 30 millisecond OFF-delay 

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

  • Tough ABS housing rated IEC IP67; NEMA 6

  •   Compact housing, mounting versatility – popular 30 mm threaded nose or 

side-mount

Models

* 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “

W/30

” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., 

QS30LLP W/30

). 

A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable (see page 10).

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-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current Banner Safety 

Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.

Excellent for applications where high sensing power and small beam size are important. Operates over 

sensing ranges typically accomplished only by conventional opposed-mode photoelectrics; uses a special 

filter to polarize the emitted light, filtering out unwanted reflections from shiny objects.
