WARNING
These photoelectric presence sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or a de-energized sensor output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition which could lead to
serious injury or death. Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA
and ANSI machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards,
and they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.

Sensors
Specifications, Q85BW13 Series Sensors
Sensing range:
see individual sensor specifications (page 2).
Sensing beam:
see individual sensor specifications (page 2).
Supply voltage:
24 to 240V ac (50/60 Hz) or 12 to 240V dc (2 watts
maximum). No polarity for power supply hookup.
Outputs (all models except emitters)
:
Opto-isolated SPST solid-state switch.
Maximum ratings: 250V ac, 250V dc, 300 mA.
Output saturation voltage: 3V at 300 mA, 2V at 15 mA.
Output leakage curent: <50 microamps.
Inrush current: 1 amp for 20 milliseconds, non-repetetive.
This output is not short-circuit protected.
Exercise care when making wiring connections.
All sensors are protected against false pulse on power-up: false pulse
protection circuit causes a 100 millisecond delay on power-up.
Models are available with either ON/OFF output or 8 switch-selectable
output timing functions ("T9" model suffix); see page 2.
Adjustments (all models except emitters):
Single-turn
SENSITIVITY
control potentiometer, accessible beneath the
ABS wiring chamber cover. Timing logic (for T9 models ) is configured
at a DIP switch. Pulse length and delay are set by a single-turn potenti-
ometer (under the wiring chamber cover). The adjustable time range
for both functions is 0.1 to 5 seconds; both functions are automatically
set to the same value. All models have a light/dark operate switch.
Response Time and Repeatability
are independent of signal
strength. See specifications under individual model listings, page 2.
Status Indicators (all models except emitters):
LEDs, one red and one yellow, both top-mounted. Red AID™ (Align-
ment Indicating Device system, US patent #4356393) indicator LED
lights whenever the sensor "sees" its own modulated light source,
and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light
signal.
Yellow indicator lights whenever the sensor's output is conducting.
Construction:
Yellow Cycolac

ABS housing, plated steel hardware. Acrylic lens.
ABS cover for wiring/adjustments access. Rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4,
4X, 6, 6P, 12, and 13; IEC IP67. It is the customer's responsibility to
maintain NEMA 6P integrity at the conduit entrance(s) in use. Maximum
wire size (for connection to wiring terminals) is #14 AWG.
Operating temperature range:
-25° to +55°C (-13° to +131°F).
Maximum relative humidity:
90% at 50°C (non-condensing).

Q85BW13
Series sensor
(T9 model) with
cover removed
Q85BW13 Series sensors are compact, economical, photoelectric
sensors in rugged NEMA-6P rated ABS housings. They are ideally
suited to conveyor control and similar applications. The timing logic
functions offered in the "T9" models provide additional control
capabilities over and above the ON/OFF (no delay) function of the
basic models. Q85 sensors have a convenient wiring chamber with
two conduit entrances for ease of connection and mounting.
Polarized retroreflective, short-range and long-range diffuse, and
opposed mode models are offered. See individual model descrip-
tions, gain curves, and beam patterns, page 2.
Q85BW13 Series sensors operate from 12-240V dc or 24-240V
ac . All models have an optically-isolated SPST solid-state output
capable of switching up to 250V ac, 250V dc, 300 mA maximum.
All models are switch-selectable for either light-operate or dark-
operate output.
These sensors are available with a choice of either ON/OFF output
or programmable timing output logic models. Programmable timing
logic ("T9") models provide eight switch-selectable logic functions:
ON/OFF (no delay), ON delay, OFF delay, ON/OFF delay, one-shot
(pulse), on-delayed one-shot, limit timer, and on-delayed limit timer.
The adjustable time range for delay functions and pulse length is
0.1 to 5 seconds. All models have a SENSITIVITY control for
precise adjustment of sensing gain.
Two top-mounted LED indicators are visible through a window
in the wiring chamber's gasketed cover. The red AID™ indicator
lights whenever the sensor "sees" its modulated light source, and
pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light
signal. The yellow output indicator lights whenever the sensor's
output conducts.
Q85 sensors have rugged yellow Cycolac
®
ABS housings with
ultrasonically-welded acrylic lenses. A gasketed ABS cover pro-
tects the wiring chamber and the timing and sensitivity adjustment
controls inside. Two 1/2-14 NPSM conduit entrances are provided,
and a plug and gasket are included for sealing of a possible unused
entrance. Q85 Series sensors are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X,
6, 6P, 12, and 13 (IEC IP67). An 11-gauge plated steel mounting
bracket and two plated mounting bolts and nuts (photo above and
drawing, page 3) are included.
