## **QMT42 Series Long-Range Diffuse Sensors** 

## **Datasheet** 

_Adjustable sensing distance up to 6 meters (20 inches)_ 

- Powerful, collimated infrared light source and special lensing for reliable long-range detection of even the darkest objects 

- Low-cost, compact, rugged sensors in metal die-cast housings 

- Leakproof IP67 (NEMA 6) construction for reliable sensing in harsh environments 

- Outstanding electrical noise immunity 

- Dual LED system indicates sensor performance 

- Choice of unterminated cable or quick-disconnect connector 

## **WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection** 

**Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.** This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

QMT42 Series Long-Range Diffuse Sensors 

## **Specifications** 

## **Sensing Beam** 

Infrared, 880 nm 

## **Supply Voltage and Current** 

10 to 30 V dc (10% max. ripple) at less than 40 mA 

## **Supply Protection Circuitry** 

Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages 

## **Output Configuration** 

SPDT (complementary) solid-state dc switch; choose NPN or PNP models 

Light operate: N.O. output conducts when the sensor sees its own modulated light 

Dark operate: N.C. output conducts when the sensor sees dark 

## **Output Rating** 

100 mA maximum (each output) 

OFF-state leakage current: < 5 microamps at 30 V dc ON-state saturation voltage: < 1 V at 10 mA dc; < 1.5 V at 100 mA dc 

## **Output Protection Circuitry** 

Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short-circuit of outputs Overload trip point ≥ 130 mA, typical, at 20 ºC 

## **Output Response Time** 

1 millisecond on and off 

## **Adjustments** 

4-turn slotted Gain (sensitivity) adjustment potentiometer (clutched at both ends of travel) 

## **Range** 

10 mm (0.4 in) to 6 m (20 ft) 

## **Indicators** 

Two LEDs: Green and Amber Green on steady = power to sensor is ON Green flashing = output is overloaded 

Amber on steady = light is sensed; normally open output ON Amber flashing = marginal excess gain (1-1.5x) in light condition 

## **Construction** 

Housings are die-cast zinc alloy with black acrylic polyurethane finish; lenses are acrylic 

## **Environmental Rating** 

IEC IP67 NEMA 6 

## **Connections** 

2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) attached cable, or 4-pin M12/Eurostyle quick-disconnect fitting; cables for QD models are purchased separately 

## **Operating Conditions** 

−20 °C to +55 °C (−4 °F to +131°F) 

**NOTE:** 100 millisecond delay on power-up; outputs are non-conducting during this time 

90% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing) 

## **Certification** 

## **Repeatability of Response** 

250 microseconds 

## **Sensing Hysteresis** 

Less than 20% of set sensing distance 

## **Performance** 

The performance is based on a 90% reflective white test card.
