NOTE: Users must purchase one emitter and one receiver for opposed mode sensors. 

## Wiring Diagrams 

Wiring for the quick disconnect (QD) models is functionally identical. 

- (1) Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. 

- To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add suffix W/30 (for example, S186E W/30 ). 

- To order the 4-pin M12 QD models, add suffix Q (for example, S186EQ ). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable. 

> (2) Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.

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. 

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 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. 

## Specifications 

Supply Voltage and Current 

10 to 30 V DC (10% maximum ripple) Supply current (exclusive of load current): 

Emitters, non-polarized retroreflective, retroreflective, diffuse models: 25 mA Receivers: 20 mA Polarized retroreflective models: 30 mA Fixed-field models: 35 mA 

Supply Protection Circuitry 

Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages 

Output Protection Circuitry 

Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short circuit of outputs 

Indicators 

Two LEDs (green and amber): 

Green on: power to sensor is on Green flashing: output is overloaded Amber on: normally open (NO) output is conducting Amber flashing: excess gain marginal (1 to 1.5×) in light condition 

Construction 

Housing: PBT polyester housing Lens: polycarbonate (opposed-mode) or acrylic (other models) 

Connections 

2 m (6.5 ft) integral cable; 9 m (30 ft) integral cable; or 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect fitting 

Repeatability 

Opposed mode models: 375 μs Retroreflective, fixed-field, and diffuse mode models: 750 μs Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength. 

Output Configuration 

SPDT solid-state DC switch; Choose NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) models 

Light Operate: Normally open (NO) output conducts when sensor sees its own (or the emitter’s) modulated light 

Dark Operate: Normally closed (NC) output conducts when the sensor sees dark; the NC output may be wired as a normally open marginal signal alarm output, depending upon wiring to power supply (U.S. patent 5087838) 

Output Rating 

150 mA maximum (each) in standard wiring. When wired for alarm output, the total load may not exceed 150 mA. 

OFF-state leakage current: < 1 microamp at 30 V DC 

ON-state saturation voltage: < 1 V at 10 mA DC; < 1.5 V at 150 mA DC 

Output Response Time 

Opposed mode models: 3 ms ON, 1.5 ms OFF 

Retroreflective, fixed-field, and diffuse mode models: 3 ms ON and OFF NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time. 

Operating Conditions 

–40 °C to +70 °C (–40 °F to +158 °F) 

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

Environmental Rating 

Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P and IEC IP67 per IEC 60529 IP69K per DIN40050 for quick disconnect and cable models when the cables are protected from direct spray 

Vibration and Mechanical Shock 

All models meet MIL-STD-202F, Method 201A (Vibration: 10 Hz to 60 Hz maximum, 0.06 inch (1.52 mm) double amplitude, 10G acceleration) requirements. Method 213B conditions H&I. Shock: 75G with device operating; 100G for non-operation

## FCC Part 15 Class B for Unintentional Radiators 

(Part 15.105(b)) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 

- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 

- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. 

- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 

- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. 

(Part 15.21) Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
