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., S186E W/30).
• 4-pin Euro-style QD models: add suffix “Q” (e.g., S186EQ). A model with a QD connector requires a
mating cable.
† Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.
