The QS18VN6LVQ8 model from Banner is engineered for long-range detection, offering a maximum sensing distance of 6500 mm in a non-polarized mode. This allows the sensor to detect reflective targets without needing polarity-specific wiring, simplifying installation and enabling flexible configuration. The unit uses a Visible Red LED beam with a wavelength of 630 nm to ensure reliable sensing even under ambient light conditions. Built with a durable ABS rectangular housing and M18 mount, this sensor is both compact and mechanically robust. With an IP67 protection rating and NEMA 4X compliance, it performs consistently even in dusty, wet, or corrosive industrial environments.
This Photoelectric Sensor is powered by a 10–30 V DC supply and delivers NPN discrete output through a 4-pin M12 connector, allowing seamless integration into PLCs and control panels. The built-in potentiometer lets technicians easily adjust sensitivity for precise alignment, while the output response time of 0.6 ms ensures fast detection cycles in automated processes. With a power-up delay of 100 ms and repeatability of 150 µs, this sensor ensures stability and accuracy, even during frequent machine cycles. The acrylic lens provides long-term optical clarity, while LED indicators allow for quick troubleshooting and operational visibility. It is designed to operate within a temperature range of -20°C to +70°C and tolerate humidity up to 95% at 50°C.
