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

Load
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, T183E W/30).
• To order the 4-pin Micro-style QD models, add suffix Q1 (for example, T183EQ1). 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
20 to 250 V ac (50/60 Hz)
Average current: 20 mA
Peak current: 200 mA at 20 V ac, 500 mA at 120 V ac, 750 mA at 250 V ac
Output Response Time
Opposed mode models: 16 ms ON, 8 ms OFF
Other models: 16 ms ON and OFF
NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Repeatability
Opposed mode models: 2 ms
Other models: 4 ms
Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength.
Output Configuration
SPST solid-state ac switch; Three-wire connections; Choose light operate or
dark operate models
Light Operate: Output conducts when sensor sees its own (or the emitter’s)
modulated light
Dark Operate: Output conducts when the sensor sees dark
Output Rating
300 mA maximum (continuous)
Fixed-field models: derate 5 mA/°C above +50 °C (+122 °F)
Inrush Capability 1 amp for 20 milliseconds, non-repetitive
OFF-state leakage current: < 100 microamps
ON-state saturation voltage: 3 V at 300 mA ac; 2 V at 15 mA ac
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up
2
Adjustments
Non-polarized retroreflective and diffuse models (only) have a single-turn rearpanel sensitivity control (turn clockwise to increase gain)
Indicators
Two LEDs (green and amber)
Green on: power to sensor is on
Amber on: sensor sees light
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 Micro-style quickdisconnect fitting
