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, S183E W/30 ). 

- To order the 4-pin 1/2"-20UNF QD models, add suffix Q1 (for example, S183EQ1 ). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable. 

- To order the 5-pin 1/2"-20UNF QD models, add suffix Q (for example, S183EQ ). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable. 

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. 

> (1) Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.

Supply Protection Circuitry Protected against transient voltages Indicators Two LEDs (green and amber) Green on: power to sensor is on Amber on: sensor sees light 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; 4-pin 1/2"-20UNF quick-disconnect fitting; or 5-pin 1/2"-20UNF quick-disconnect fitting 

Output Protection Circuitry 

Protected against false pulse on power-up 

## Output Response Time 

Opposed mode models: 16 ms ON, 8 ms OFF Other models: 16 ms ON and OFF NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up Repeatability Opposed mode models: 2 ms Other models: 4 ms Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength. 

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.
