- Versatile mounting options 

- Designed to withstand 1200 psi washdown; exceeds its NEMA 6P and IEC IP67 rating 

- *U.S. Patent no. 4356393 

_Because of their extremely high excess gain, these opposed-mode sensors are an excellent option for sensing in contaminated or dirty areas, and are also the best choice for long-range sensing._

**Q45BB6 Series** 

_Infrared, 880 nm_ 

_These diffuse-mode models detect objects by sensing the reflection of their own emitted light. Ideal for use when the reflectivity and profile of the object to be sensed are sufficient to return a large percentage of emitted light back to the sensor. Model Q45BB6DX is the first choice for diffuse-mode applications when there are no background objects to falsely return light._

## **Q45BB6 Series** 

_These models are an excellent choice for glass fiber optic applications where faster sensor response is not important. Their high excess gain means that opposed individual fibers can operate reliably in many very hostile environments. Also, special miniature bifurcated fiber optic assemblies with bundle sizes as small as .5 mm (.020") dia. may be used successfully for diffuse-mode sensing_ < | _when using sensor model Q45BB6F(Q). For more information on compatible Infrared, 880 nm and Visible red, 650 nm glass fiber optics, refer to your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog._

## **Q45BB6 Series** 

_Lower in cost than glass fiber optics, plastic fiber optics are ideal for use in situations where environmental conditions allow (for example, low levels of acids, alkalis, and solvents). Most are easily cut to length in the field, and are available in a variety of sensing end styles. For more information on compatible plastic fiber optics, refer to your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog._

## ~~**Q45BB6 Series Indicators and Controls**~~ 

Status indicator LEDs for Power, Signal and Output are clearly visible beneath a raised dome in the sensor’s transparent o-ring-sealed Lexan[®] cover. The Power indicator lights whenever power is applied to the sensor. The Signal LED lights whenever the sensor sees its modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal; this is the AID™ Alignment Indicating Device*. The Output indicator lights whenever the sensor’s output is conducting. This indicator is especially useful when a timing logic module is used and Signal and Output conditions are not concurrent. 

Also located beneath the sensor’s o-ring-sealed cover are controls for light/dark operate selection and Sensitivity adjustment.

Mini-style QD sensors are identified by the suffix “Q” in their model number and 4-pin Euro-style sensors are identified by the suffix “Q5”. Mating cables required for QD Q45BB6 sensors are specified on page 10.

## **Retroreflective Targets** 

Banner offers a wide selection of high-quality retroreflective targets. See the Accessories section of your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog for complete information. 

NOTE: Polarized sensors require corner cube type retroreflective targets only. Non-polarized sensors may use any retroreflective target. 

**Output Timing Logic and Signal Strength Display Modules** ~~a~~ Q45 sensors easily accept the addition of output timing logic and signal strength display functions. Display modules have a seven-element display which gives a more precise indication of excess gain than does the AID™ system LED that is standard on Q45 sensors. The modules listed below may be used with all Q45BB6 Series sensors. See the data sheet packed with the module for more information. 

**Model Logic and/or Display Function 45LM58** Programmable output timing logic **45LM58D** Programmable output timing logic plus signal strength display **45LMD** Signal strength display only (no timing function)
