- To order the 4-pin M8 integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q7" to the model number. For example, Q20EQ7. 

- To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M8 quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q" to the model number. For example, Q20EQ. 

- To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M12 quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q5" to the model number. For example, Q20EQ5. 

- To order the 150 mm (6 in) PUR cable model with a 4-pin M12 quick disconnect, add the suffix "QPMA" to the model number. For example, Q20EQPMA.

## Chapter 2 Overview 

Banner’s Q20 family of sensors offers a full complement of sensing modes, with the excellent performance expected of much larger sensors. Their compact plastic housings feature overmolded construction for superior robustness and sealing. Their popular rectangular design is easy to mount into tight spaces; integral threaded mounting holes eliminate the need for separate mounting nuts. 

The single-turn Gain potentiometer on most models and bright LEDs (positioned on top of the housing for 360° visibility) provide easy alignment and configuration for reliable sensing.

## FCC Part 15 Class B for Unintentional Radiators 

(Part 15.105(b)) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

(Part 15.21) Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. 

## Industry Canada ICES-003(B) 

This device complies with CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference; and 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 

Cet appareil est conforme à la norme NMB-3(B). Le fonctionnement est soumis aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) ce dispositif ne peut pas occasionner d'interférences, et (2) il doit tolérer toute interférence, y compris celles susceptibles de provoquer un fonctionnement non souhaité du dispositif.

## Chapter 5 Product Support and Maintenance 

## Clean Sensor with Compressed Air Then Isopropyl Alcohol 

Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by fingerprints, dust, water, oil, etc. create stray light that may degrade the peak performance of the sensor. 

Blow dust from the sensor using filtered, compressed air. If the sensor is still dirty, gently wipe the sensor with a dry optical cloth. If the dry optical cloth does not remove all residue, use 70% isopropyl alcohol on a clean optical cloth, then dry with a clean dry optical cloth and blow with filtered, compressed air. Do not use any other chemicals for cleaning.
