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 deenergized (off) output condition.

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add the suffix W/30 to the model number. For example, DQ126E W/30.
To order the 150 mm (6 in) cable with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style (M8 threaded) QD model, add the suffix Q to the model number. For example,
DQ126EQ.
•
To order the 150 mm (6 in) cable with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style QD model, add the suffix Q5 to the model number. For example DQ126EQ5.
2 Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-60X40C retroreflector. Actual sensing range may be more or less than specified, depending upon
efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector(s) used.

Apertures
Opposed-mode sensors (standard models only) may be fitted with apertures to narrow or shape the sensor’s effective beam to
more closely match the size or profile of the objects being sensed. A common example is the use of “line” (or “slot”) type apertures
to sense thread.
Note: The use of apertures will reduce the sensing range (see table below).

FCC Part 15 and CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B)
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules and CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B). Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1.
2.
This device may not cause harmful interference, and
This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules and CAN ICES-3 (B)/NMB-3(B). These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
•
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the manufacturer.
