• 10 mm (0.4 in) or 15 mm (0.6 in) convergent point, depending on model • NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) output, and dark or light operate, depending on model • 3-wire connection; output load capacity to 50 mA • Choice of integral cable or quick-disconnect connector **WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.** This device does not include the self-checking ° redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

## **Overview**
VS1 Series miniature self-contained sensors are designed for precision sensing in small areas previously accessible only to remote or fiber optic models. Typical applications include mounting inside vibrating feeders and electronic component handling equipment, where larger sensors will not fit.
The sensing energy of a convergent-mode sensor is concentrated at the specified focus point. Convergent-mode sensors are less sensitive to background reflections, compared with diffuse-mode sensors. Contact the factory if background reflections are a problem.

- To order 9 m cables models, add suffix “W/30” to the model number (e.g., VS1AN5CV10 W/30).
- To order 150 mm (6 inch) cable with threaded 3-pin Pico-style quick disconnect fitting models, add suffix “Q” to the model number (e.g., VS1AN5CV10Q). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see _Accessories_ on page 4.

## **Installation Notes**
Included with each sensor is a hardware packet containing two stainless steel M2 × 0.4 × 16 mm Phillips pan-head machine screws, flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts. To mount the sensor, use the supplied flat washer against the front surface of the sensor housing, between it and the screw head. If mounting to one of the optional brackets, place the lock washer against the back of the bracket, followed by the nut. If mounting directly to a threaded hole, place the lock washer between the screw head and the flat washer.
For best results, mount the VS1 where it is protected from moisture, high humidity and dirt.
