World-beam® qs30 series sensors, Models, High-power opposed-mode sensors

High-power opposed-mode sensors
Excellent for applications where high sensing
power is required due to long sensing range or
contamination on lenses.
• Infrared beam with high excess gain — range over 213 m (700')
• Excellent noise immunity
• Excellent optical performance throughout the sensing range
• Easy two frequency selection to help prevent crosstalk, see Application Note on
page 3
• Easy-to-read operating status indicators with bargraph display
• Bipolar discrete outputs, PNP and NPN
• Light Operate and Dark Operate models available
• Models available with 2 m or 9 m (6.5' or 30') cable or quick-disconnect fitting
• Tough ABS housing is rated IEC IP67; NEMA 6P; QD models are washdown tes-
ted to DIN 40050-9 (IP69K)
• Unique water/debris-shedding lens design reduces lens contamination; lens mate-
rial survives impact, washdown and cleaning chemicals
• Encapsulated electronics
• Compact housing — mounting versatility via popular 30 mm threaded barrel or
side-mount

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury
or death. This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-ener-
gized sensor output condition.
