Quick Start GuideExpert™ Coaxial Polarized Retroreflective Sensor for Clear Object DetectionThis guide is designed to help you set up and install the QS18 Clear Object Detection. For complete information onprogramming, performance, troubleshooting, dimensions, and accessories, please refer to the Instruction Manual atwww.bannerengineering.com. Search for p/n 194469 to view the Instruction Manual. Use of this document assumesfamiliarity with pertinent industry standards and practices.WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel ProtectionNever use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead toserious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessaryto allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either anenergized or de-energized sensor output condition.OverviewAmber LED(Output Indicator)Green LED(Power Indicator) Push ButtonThe Banner QS18 sensor is a high performance clear object detectionsensor. The polarized coaxial optical design ensures reliable detection oftransparent, translucent, and opaque targets at any distance betweenthe sensor and the reflector. Low contrast sensing applications includePET bottles, glass containers, and shrink wrap. The sensor can also beused to detect optical surfaces such as: LCD panels with built inpolarizing films, solar panels, and semiconductor wafers.Indicators (Two LEDs: One Green, One Amber)Sensor Condition (Run Mode) Green LED Amber LEDOutput OFF ON OFFOutput ON ON ONNotification — Sensor needs to bereconfigured for reliable detectionFlashing at 5 Hz ON/OFFNotification — Push button has been lockedoutFlashes 4 times andreturns to solid onON/OFFModelsModels Mode Range Output Connector 1QS18EN6XLPCCOAXIALPOLAR RETROCLEAR OBJECTP0 to 1.3 m (0 to 4.2 ft) on BRT-40X19A0 to 2.0 m (0 to 6.5 ft) on BRT-60X40C0 to 3.0 m (0 to 9.8 ft) on BRT-92X92CNPN2 m cable (6.5 ft)QS18EP6XLPC PNP1 The standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed.• To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number (for example QS18EN6XLPC W/30)• To order the 4 pin Euro M12 integral connector, add the suffix "Q8" (for example QS18EN6LPCQ8)• To order the 4 pin Euro M12 150 mm (6 inch) cable, add the suffix "Q5" (for example QS18EN6LPCQ5)• To order a 4 pin Pico M8 integral connector, add the suffix "Q7" (for example QS18EN6LPCQ7)• To order a 4 pin Pico M8 150 mm (6 inch) cable, add the suffix "Q" (for example QS18EN6XLPCQ)WORLD-BEAM QS18 Clear Object DetectionOriginal Document195502 Rev.
