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.
M12 Series Metal Barrel Sensors
Rugged, self-contained sensors in a 12 mm threaded barrel
Features
Complete family of sensors, all housed in a compact 12 mm threaded metal barrel •
Opposed, retroreflective, polarized retroreflective, diffuse and 25, 50, or 75 mm cutoff •
fixed-field mode operation, depending on model
Excellent background suppression on fixed-field models; an excellent alternative to
•
proximity sensors
Two Signal indicator LEDs for easy operating status monitoring from any direction
•
10 to 30V dc operation •
Complementary solid-state outputs (1 normally open, 1 normally closed); PNP •
(sourcing) or NPN (sinking), depending on model
Models
* Only standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed. For 9 m (30') cable, add suffix
“W/30” to the model number (e.g., M12E W/30).
QD models:
• 4-pin integral Euro-style M12 connector: add suffix “Q8” (e.g., M12EQ8).
• 4-pin 150 mm (6") Euro-style pigtail: add suffix “Q5” (e.g., M12EQ5).
† Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-84 retroreflector. Actual
sensing range may be more or less than specified, depending upon efficiency and
reflective area of the retroreflector(s) used.
