Q14 Series Sensors
## Features
Miniature self-contained opposed-mode DC photoelectric sensor
- Self-contained DC sensor in a miniature right-angle housing
- IP54; NEMA 4 construction; hermetically-sealed optics
- 1.8 m (70 in) opposed range
- Choose models for light operate or dark operate; choose either NPN or PNP output models
- • Choice of integral cable or quick-disconnect connector
- Mounting bracket is included
## WARNING:
- Do not use this device for personnel protection
- Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
- This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-energized (off) output condition.

Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.
In light operate (LO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns the same or more light to the sensor and OFF when the sensor detects less light than the configured/taught target. In dark operate (DO) mode, the output is ON when the target returns less light to the sensor than the configured target and OFF when the sensor detects more light than the configured/taught target.
In opposed sensing modes, light operate means the output is on when the beam is unblocked and dark operate means the output is on when the beam is blocked.
The following models are no longer available for order but are still covered by the information in this document.
