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.

The Banner QS18 sensor is a high performance clear object detection
sensor. The polarized coaxial optical design ensures reliable detection of
transparent, translucent, and opaque targets at any distance between
the sensor and the reflector. Low contrast sensing applications include
PET bottles, glass containers, and shrink wrap. The sensor can also be
used to detect optical surfaces such as: LCD panels with built in
polarizing films, solar panels, and semiconductor wafers.
