WARNING:
• Do not use this device for personnel protection
• Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or
death.
• This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry
necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A device
failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-energized
(off) output condition.

1 Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed.
• To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add suffix W/30 (for example, T186E W/30).
• To order the 4-pin M12/Euro-style QD models, add suffix Q (for example, T186EQ). A model with a QD connector requires a
mating cable.
2 Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.

Specifications
Supply Voltage and Current
10 to 30 V dc (10% maximum ripple)
Supply current (exclusive of load current):
Emitters, non-polarized retroreflective, retroreflective, diffuse models:
25 mA
Receivers: 20 mA
Polarized retroreflective models: 30 mA
Fixed-field models: 35 mA
Output Response Time
Opposed mode models: 3 ms ON, 1.5 ms OFF
Retroreflective, fixed-field, and diffuse mode models: 3 ms ON and OFF
NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time.
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Adjustments
Non-polarized retroreflective and diffuse models (only) have a single-turn
rear-panel sensitivity control (turn clockwise to increase gain)
Output Configuration
SPDT solid-state dc switch; Choose NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current
sourcing) models
Light Operate: N.O. output conducts when sensor sees its own (or the
emitter’s) modulated light
Dark Operate: N.C. output conducts when the sensor sees dark; the N.C.
(normally closed) output may be wired as a normally open marginal signal
alarm output, depending upon wiring to power supply (U.S. patent 5087838)
Output Rating
150 mA maximum (each) in standard wiring. When wired for alarm output,
the total load may not exceed 150 mA.
OFF-state leakage current: < 1 microamp at 30 V dc
ON-state saturation voltage: < 1 V at 10 mA dc; < 1.5 V at 150 mA dc
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short
circuit of outputs
2
Repeatability
Opposed mode models: 375 μs
Retroreflective, fixed-field, and diffuse mode models: 750 μs
Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength.
Indicators
Two LEDs (green and amber):
Green on: power to sensor is on
Green flashing: output is overloaded
Amber on: N.O. output is conducting
Amber flashing: excess gain marginal (1 to 1.5×) in light condition
Construction
Housing: PBT polyester housing
Lens: polycarbonate (opposed-mode) or acrylic (other models)
Connections
2 m (6.5 ft) integral cable; 9 m (30 ft) integral cable; or 4-pin M12/Euro-style
quick-disconnect fitting

Required Overcurrent Protection
Environmental Rating
Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P and IEC IP67 per IEC 60529
IP69K per DIN40050 for quick disconnect and cable models when the
cables are protected from direct spray
WARNING: Electrical connections must be
made by qualified personnel in accordance with
local and national electrical codes and
regulations.
Operating Conditions
–40 °C to +70 °C (–40 °F to +158 °F)
90% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing)
Vibration and Mechanical Shock
All models meet MIL-STD-202F, Method 201A (Vibration: 10 Hz to 60 Hz
maximum, 0.06 inch (1.52 mm) double amplitude, 10G acceleration)
requirements. Method 213B conditions H&I.
Shock: 75G with device operating; 100G for non-operation
Certifications
Overcurrent protection is required to be provided by end product
application per the supplied table.
Overcurrent protection may be provided with external fusing or via Current
Limiting, Class 2 Power Supply.
Supply wiring leads < 24 AWG shall not be spliced.
