QS30EX-RX High-Power Opposed Mode Series Sensor
Features
Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cabled models, add the suffix W/30 to the model number of any cabled sensor (for example, QS30EX W/30). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable (see "QS30 HP Cordsets" on page 8).
## Overview
Banner QS30 Series high-power opposed-mode sensors are extremely rugged, powerful, and leakproof. They are designed to withstand the most demanding industrial applications, including high-pressure washdown areas. They are powerful enough to burn through heavy fog, dust, and most types of industrial and process contamination.
The sensor’s electronics are epoxy-encapsulated for maximum resistance to mechanical shock and vibration. The popular WORLD-BEAM-style housing provides multiple mounting configurations in a minimum of space.
The innovative circuitry used in these sensors provides the best EMI/RFI noise immunity of any non-synchronized emitter/receiver pair. For applications where optical crosstalk between multiple sensor pairs may be a problem, the sensors provide a choice between two frequencies (A and B). (Each emitter must be set to the same frequency as its receiver, see "Sensor Alignment" on page 7.)
Light operate and dark operate outputs are available, depending on the model. Each model has two outputs that switch simultaneously: one each NPN (sinking) and PNP (sourcing).
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.
Additional configuration options are available; contact Banner Engineering for information about the following options:
- Additional modulation frequency choices (up to four)
- • Modified sensor gain • ON-delay or OFF-delay settings • Fixed modulation frequency models
Each sensor has a green Power ON/OFF indicator and amber indicators for the selected modulation frequency. In addition, receivers have an amber LED that lights when the outputs are conducting, plus a 4-element light bar that indicates signal strength, relative to the switch point (the higher the number lit, the more light is received).

## Application Notes
1. When multiple sensors are used in close proximity (see Figure 2, Beam Width for guidance on separation distance), position the sensors so the alternate frequency emitter is not within the receiver's field of view. Contact the Banner Application team for additional information
2. Prolonged outdoor use in direct sunlight may cloud the lens. Contact Banner for other outdoor solutions
3. Conditions in outdoor environments, such as rain or fo,g can cause optical short circuits that result in a larger effective beam size

## Sensor Configuration
The modulation frequency (A or B) is selected by the state of the gray wire (on cabled models; pin 5 on QD models – see "QS30EX Wiring Diagrams" on page 7). A “+” voltage or no connection selects frequency A; connecting it to “-” selects frequency B.
To disable (or inhibit) the emitter LED for testing the receiver, attach the white wire to “-” voltage.
## Sensor Alignment
Adjust the emitter first, then the receiver.
1. Verify that both sensors are wired for the same modulation frequency, then adjust the emitter’s position until the receiver signal strength light bar indicates its highest amount of signal received (the highest number lit).
2. Tighten the emitter mounting hardware, then repeat the process for the receiver.
3. To achieve the best crosstalk immunity, position a single matched emitter within the receiver's field of view (15 degrees).
4. When it is necessary to position an alternate emitter in the receiver's field of view, sensor alignment is required to ensure the matched frequency emitter provides the stronger signal to its receiver, and the alternate frequency emitter does not reduce the signal strength of the receiver (as indicated by the 4-element signal strength light).
