WARNING . . .
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.

* Standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed.
• 9 m (30') cable: add suffix “W/30” (e.g., T186E W/30).
• 4-pin Euro-style QD models: add suffix “Q” (e.g., T186EQ). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable. (See page 7.)
** Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.
