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

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/Euro-style 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.

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

## 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 

## Indicators 

Two LEDs (green and amber): 

Green on: power to sensor is on Green flashing: output is overloaded Amber on: N.O. 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/Euro-style quick-disconnect fitting 

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

Light Operate: N.O. output conducts when sensor sees its own (or the emitter’s) modulated light 

Dark Operate: N.C. output conducts when the sensor sees dark; the N.C. (normally closed) 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 Protection Circuitry 

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

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. 

Repeatability 

Opposed mode models: 375 μs 

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