cable|NPN| |QS18VP6LD||||PNP| The standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix “W/30” to the model number (e.g., QS18VN6LD W/30). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cordset. To order the QD models: - For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix “Q8” (e.g., QS18VN6LDQ8). - For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD, add suffix “Q7” (e.g., QS18VN6LDQ7). - For 4-pin Euro-style 150 mm (6 inch) pigtail QD, add suffix “Q5” (e.g., QS18VN6LDQ5). - For 4-pin Pico-style 150 mm (6 inch) pigtail QD, add suffix “Q” (e.g., QS18VN6LDQ). ## **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. ## **Wiring Diagrams** |**NPN (Sinking) Outputs**|**NPN (Sinking) Outputs**|**NPN (Sinking) Outputs**|**NPN (Sinking) Outputs**|**PNP (Sourcing) Outputs**|**PNP (Sourcing) Outputs**|**PNP (Sourcing) Outputs**|**PNP (Sourcing) Outputs**|**Wiring Key**| |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| |**3**|||**–**|**1**|||**+**|1 = Brown| |**1**

D 27 March 2014 118899 WORLD-BEAM[®] QS18LD Laser Diffuse Series Sensors ## **Description of Laser Classes** ## **Class 1 Lasers** Class 1 lasers are lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing. Reference IEC 60825-1:2001, Section 8.2. **Class 1 Laser Characteristics:** See Specifications. ## **CAUTION: Do Not Disassemble for Repair** This device contains no user-serviceable components. Do not attempt to disassemble for repair. Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. A defective unit must be returned to the manufacturer. ## **For Safe Laser Use (Class 1 or Class 2):** - Do not stare at the laser. - Do not point the laser at a person’s eye. - Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical. - Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path. ## **Specifications** **Supply Voltage** 10 to 30 V dc (10% maximum ripple) at less than 15 mA, exclusive of load **Sensing Beam** Visible red LED, 650 nm **Laser Characteristics** Wavelength: 650 nm visible red Class 1 laser Pulse Width: 7 microseconds Rep Rate: 130 microseconds Average Output Power: 0.065 mW **Supply Protection Circuitry** Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages **Output Configuration** Solid-state complementary (SPDT): NPN or PNP (current sinking or sourcing), depending on model; **Rating:** 100 mA maximum each output at 25 °C ## **Off-state leakage current:** NPN: less than 200 µA @ 30 V dc (See Application Note 1) PNP: less than 10 µA @ 30 V dc ## **ON-state saturation voltage:** NPN: less than 1.6 V @ 100 mA PNP: less than 3.0 V @ 100 mA **Output Protection Circuitry** Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short circuit of outputs ## **Output Response** 700 microseconds ON/OFF NOTE: 200 millisecond delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time ## **Repeatability** 130 microseconds **Sensing Hysteresis** 15% of range typical **Adjustments** Single-turn sensitivity (Gain) adjustment potentiometer **Indicators** 2 LED indicators on sensor top: Green solid: Power on Amber solid: Light sensed Amber flashing: Marginal excess gain (1 to 1.5x excess gain) **Construction** ABS housing, acrylic lens cover, 3 mm mounting hardware included **Environmental Ratings** IEC IP67; NEMA 6; UL Type 1 **Connections** 2 m (6.5 ft) 4-wire PVC cable, 9 m (30 ft) 4-wire PVC cable, 4-pin Picostyle or Euro-style QD, 4-pin Pico-style or Euro-style 150 mm (6 in) pigtail QD, depending on model **Operating Conditions** Temperature: –10 °C to 50 °C (14 °F to 122 °F) Relative Humidity: 90% @ 50 °C (non-condensing) ## **Laser Classification** Class 1 laser product; Complies with IEC 60825-1:2001 and 21 CFR 1040.10, except for deviations pursuant to Laser Notice 50, dated 7-26-01 **Application Notes** NPN off-state leakage current is < 200 µA for load resistances > 3 kΩ or optically isolated loads. For load current of 100 mA, leakage is < 1% of load current. **Certifications** C E TA\ www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 P/N 118899 Rev.
