## WARNING: 

- Do not use this device for personnel protection 

- Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.

## Models 

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. (For example: Q452E W/30.) Models with a quick disconnect connector require a mating cable. 

For a list of discontinued models, see Discontinued Models. 

## Q45VR2 Opposed Mode Emitter (E) and Receiver (R) Models 

In opposed-mode sensing, the sensor's emitter and receiver are housed in two separate units. The emitter is placed opposite the receiver so that the light beam goes directly from the emitter to the receiver. An object is detected when it breaks the working part of the light beam, known as the effective beam. 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.

## Q45VR2 Retroreflective Mode Models 

A retroreflective sensor contains both the emitter and receiver elements. The effective beam is established between the emitter, the retroreflector, and the receiver. As with an opposed-mode sensor, an object is sensed when it interrupts or "breaks" the effective beam. 

The visible red sensing beam of these sensors makes them very easy to align. Model Q45VR2LP polarizes the emitted light and filters out unwanted reflections, making sensing possible in P applications otherwise considered unsuited to retroreflective sensing. a RETRO POLAR RETRO Specified using the model BRT-3 3-inch reflector (see the Accessories section of your current Banner catalog for further information).

## Q45VR2 Diffuse Mode Models 

In diffuse-mode sensing, light emitted from the sensor strikes the surface of the object to be detected and is reflected back to the receiver, which is housed with the emitter. With a diffuse-mode sensor, the object is detected when it "makes" the beam, that is, the object reflects the sensor's transmitted light energy back to the sensor. 

These diffuse-mode models detect objects by sensing the reflection of their own emitted light. Ideal for use when the DIFFUSE reflectivity and profile of the object to be sensed are sufficient to return a large percentage of emitted light back to the sensor. Model Q45VR2DX is the first choice for diffuse-mode applications when there are no background objects to falsely return light.

## Q45VR2 Convergent Mode Models 

Convergent-mode sensors use a lens system to focus the emitter and receiver elements to an exact point in front of the sensor. Like diffuse-mode and divergent-mode sensors, convergent-mode sensors detect an object when that object completes or "makes" the light beam. This design produces a small, intense, and well-defined sensing area, at a fixed distance from the sensor lens. It is a very efficient use of reflective energy.

CONVERGENT<br>**----- End of picture text -----**<br>


These sensors are ideal for reflective sensing of very small parts or profiles and can accurately sense the position of parts approaching from the side. The sensors ignore all but highly reflective objects outside the sensing range.

## Q45VR2 Glass Fiber Models 

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 0.5 mm (.020 in) dia. may be used successfully for diffuse-mode sensing when using sensor model Q45VR2F(Q). For more information on compatible glass fiber optics, refer to your current catalog.

## Q45VR2 Plastic Fiber Models 

Lower in cost than glass fiber optics, plastic fiber optics are ideal for use when 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 catalog.

## Overview 

Status indicator LEDs for power, signal, and output are clearly visible beneath a raised dome in the sensor’s transparent o-ring-sealed polycarbonate cover. Also located beneath the sensor’s o-ring-sealed cover are controls for light/dark operate selection and the sensitivity adjustment. 

- The power indicator (green) lights when power is applied to the sensor. 

- The signal indicator (red) lights when 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[(2)] . 

- The output indicator (amber) lights when 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. 

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 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 opposed and retroreflective sensing modes , dark operate is active when the beam is blocked. In diffuse, fixed field, and adjustable field sensor modes , dark operate is active when the target is absent. 

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 opposed and retroreflective sensing modes , light operate is active when the beam is unblocked. In diffuse, fixed field, and adjustable field sensor modes , light operate is active when the target is present.

## Retroreflective Targets 

Banner offers a wide selection of high-quality retroreflective targets. See www.bannerengineering.com for complete information. 

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

## Brackets

## Output Timing Logic and Signal Strength Display Modules 

Q45 sensors easily accept the addition of output timing logic and signal strength display functions. Display modules have a seven-element display that 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 Q45VR2 sensors. Refer to the module's datasheet for more information. 

Models 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)
