WORLD-BEAM QS18 Datasheet Miniature self-contained photoelectric sensors in universal housing Easily fits (or retrofits) almost any mounting situation Exceptional optical performance, comparable to larger MINI-style or barrel sensors 10 to 30 V dc operation, with complementary (SPDT) NPN or PNP outputs, depending on model Bright LED operating status indicators are visible from 360 Rugged sealed housing, protected circuitry Models available with or without 18 mm threaded nose Less than 1 millisecond output response for excellent sensing repeatability Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable or 150 mm (6 inch) Pico-style pigtail QD 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. Models To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffixW/30 to the cabled model number. QD Models. For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix Q8 (for example, QS186EQ8). For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD, add suffix Q7 (for example, QS186EQ7). For 4-pin 150 mm (6 in) Euro-style pigtail, add suffix Q5 (for example, QS186EQ5). For 4-pin 150 mm (6 in) Pico-style pigtail, add suffix Q (for example, QS186EQ).
