QC50 Series True Color Sensor
Compact, self-contained, three-output color-differentiating sensor
Features
• Two versions for application flexibility: QC50 models for most applications, and
QCX50 models for more challenging applications
• Compact, self-contained design
• Analyzes and compares color to color, or varying intensities of one color
• QCX50 models excel in challenging applications, such as differentiating dark blue
from black
• Fast sensing response time –
QC50 models: 335 microseconds
QCX50 models: 5 ms (reduced resolution setting – 1 ms)
• Easy-to-set programming options for 1, 2, or 3 colors
• Three programming parameters: channel, sensing mode, and tolerance level
• 10 tolerance levels to allow for product variation
• Output OFF-delay (6 options); selection applies to all three color channels
• Gate mode option (also called inhibiting, synchronization or windowing)
Models
* Mating cable required; see page 7 for cable options

Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current
Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
