Sensors can be used at ranges greater than listed for applications that require less excess gain. Please contact Banner for assistance on your long-range applications.
Only 2 m (6 ft) cables are listed.
- To order 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add suffix “ W/30 ” to the model number (for example, QS30EH2O W/30 ).
- To order 150 mm (6.5 in) cable with a 5-pin M12 connector models, add suffix “ Q5 ” to the model number (for example, QS30EH2OQ5 ).
- Models with a QD connector requires a mating cordset (see "QS30H2O Quick-Disconnect (QD) Cordsets" on page 11).
## Overview
The Banner QS30H2O series water sensor was developed to detect the presence of water. Its electro-optical components are tuned to one absorption band of water in the long infrared spectrum. The emitted infrared light penetrates many types of plastic and glass containers, but will not pass through water-based fluids, nor through opaque substances such as wood, metal or cardboard. Accessory apertures are available to attenuate or shape the beam for low-gain applications, for example, clear water in a clear bottle.
Low-gain models are recommended for sensing applications where the liquid container is transparent or when the thickness of liquid being detected is small. Some examples are clear glass test tubes and clear PET beverage bottles. High-gain models are recommended when the liquid container is light-blocking (translucent) and when the thickness of liquid being detected is large. Some examples are HDPE milk containers, colored PET beverage bottles, and etched glass containers. Super High-Power models are recommended for thick, opaque containers that require maximum burn-through power at a slower response speed.
For all applications, the sensors must be installed to maximize the optical contrast between the clear and blocked states. The installer can use apertures and mechanical alignment of the sensors to achieve the best results . The QS30H2O sensor enhances the available contrast by taking advantage of the absorption band of water.

For advanced applications, a 0–10 V analog output is available. The analog output allows the user to directly measure the amount of signal attenuation. The analog output value can be filtered and a switching threshold determined in a PLC or computer as required for the application. Please consult the factory for more information on using the analog output.

QS30H2O Series Water Sensor
Features
Each discrete output model has two bipolar outputs that switch simultaneously: one each NPN (sinking) and PNP (sourcing). Light Operate and Dark Operate models are available.
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 versatile housing provides multiple mounting configurations in a minimum of space. These sensors are extremely rugged, powerful and leakproof, with epoxy-encapsulated electronics for maximum resistance to mechanical shock and vibration. They are powerful enough to burn through dust and many types of industrial and process contamination.
The sensors’ innovative circuitry provides excellent EMI/RFI noise immunity. For applications where optical crosstalk between multiple sensor pairs may be a problem, either of two modulation frequencies may be selected. (Set each emitter to the same frequency as its receiver, via the sensor wiring; see "QS30H2O Sensor Configuration" on page 8 or "QS30H2O Wiring" on page 5.)
Indicators —Each sensor has a green Power ON/OFF indicator, visible from 360°. Receivers also have an amber AID indicator that flashes to show signal strength. (The higher the flash rate, the more light is received; a solid AID LED indicates an excellent signal.) Discrete models also have a large amber LED that is on when an output is conducting.

## Chapter 2
## Sensor Configuration
## Teaching Limits
Discrete models require no configuration; simply align the emitter to the receiver to maximize contrast between the clear and blocked conditions.
For analog models in high-contrast applications, alignment may be the only configuration needed. For more challenging applications using analog models, use the TEACH procedure to maximize contrast. This procedure is accomplished by pulsing the receiver’s white wire (see "QS30H2O Wiring" on page 5 and "Analog Static TEACH" on page 9). Analog output slope also can be inverted from positive to negative or back.
Sensor Alignment — When an Empty Container Can Be Presented
Sensor Alignment Procedure
1. Position both the emitter and the receiver loosely in their mounting position. See "Figure: Sensor Alignment Procedure" on page 8.
2. Present the “clear” condition for the application (an empty container).
3. Verify that both emitter and receiver are wired for the same modulation frequency (see below).
4. Adjust the emitter first, then the receiver. Adjust the emitter’s position until the receiver AID indicator is ON steady, or is flashing at its fastest rate.
5. Tighten the emitter mounting hardware, then repeat step 4 for the receiver.
6. Block the sensor beam with the target and verify that the output changes state.
## Sensor Alignment — When an Empty Container Cannot Be Presented
For this procedure, the clear condition is no container at all.
1. Mount loosely and mechanically align the emitter and the receiver such that their faces are parallel to one another. (The AID indicator should be ON steady.)
2. Rotate the emitter in one direction until the receiver AID indicator begins to flash. Repeat in the other direction. Position the emitter midway between those two positions and tighten the emitter mounting hardware.
3. Repeat step 2 for the receiver.
4. Block the sensor beam with the target and verify that the output changes state.
## Frequency Selection
The modulation frequency (A or B) is selected by the state of the gray wire (on cabled models; pin 5 on QD models — see "QS30H2O Wiring" on page 5). A “+” voltage or no connection selects frequency A; connecting it to “–” selects frequency B. Each emitter must be set to the same frequency as its receiver.
## Emitter Inhibit
To disable (or inhibit) the emitter LED (useful for testing the receiver operation), connect the white wire to “–” voltage.

QS30H2O Series Water Sensor
Sensor Configuration
## Analog Static TEACH
Analog TEACH is performed remotely, by pulsing the white TEACH wire (see "QS30H2O Wiring" on page 5).
Restore Factory TEACH: Reverts the sensing limits to the factory default limits (max contrast); output slope is not affected.
Analog Output Slope: Toggles the analog output to send a high signal when the object is absent (positive slope) or present (negative slope). Analog slope can be selected based on the TEACH order (first taught condition is always 0V; second taught condition is 10V) or by using the slope select procedure below. If the slope select procedure is used, it must be used after teaching the limits. To determine the current slope setting, measure the output signal during object present and absent conditions.
The duration of each button click or remote input pulse is defined as T, where T is: 0.04 s < T < 0.8 s.

## Examples for Apertures and Water Thickness vs. Excess Gain
The QS30EXH2O / QS30RXH2O sensor pair is used with a horizontal aperture model APQS30-040H on the receiver at 1 meter sensing distance. The excess gain is reduced to approximately 200; 50 mm of water will completely block the signal.
When the same aperture is used on both the emitter and receiver at 1 meter, the excess gain is approximately 40; 35 mm of water will block the signal.
NOTE: This example does not include the attenuation from the container holding the water.
