Datasheet
Miniature self-contained photoelectric sensors in a universal housing
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Multiple mounting options accommodate almost any mounting requirements
Exceptional optical performance, comparable to larger “MINI-style” or barrel
sensors
Patented wide-beam retroreflective models for enhanced ease of alignment
10 to 30V dc operation, with solid-state complementary NPN or PNP
outputs, light operate or dark operate, depending on model
Bright output LED indicates object is within the sensor’s field of view
Rugged sealed housing with protected circuitry, rated IP67/NEMA 6
All models feature 18 mm threaded barrel and base for easy, versatile
mounting
Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable, or 4-pin Euro-style or Pico-style
integral QD fitting or 150 mm (6 in) QD
Patent(s) issued or pending
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 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-energized sensor output condition.

Only standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. For 9 m (30 ft) cable, add suffix “W/30” to the model number (for example,
DS186E W/30)
For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix “Q8” (for example, DS186EQ8)
For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD, add suffix “Q7” (for example, DS186EQ7)
For 4-pin Euro-style 150 mm (6 in) pigtail QD, add suffix “Q5” (for example, DS186EQ5)
For 4-pin Pico-style 150 mm (6 in) pigtail QD, add suffix “Q” (for example, DS186EQ)

Specifications
Supply Voltage
10 to 30 V dc (10% maximum ripple) at less than 20 mA, exclusive of
load
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output Response Time
Opposed Mode: 800 microseconds ON; 400 microseconds OFF
All others: 2 milliseconds ON/OFF
NOTE: 100 millisecond delay on power-up;
outputs do not conduct during this time
Output Configuration
Solid-state complementary; NPN or PNP (current sinking or sourcing),
depending on model
Rating:
100 mA combined load from −20 °C to +60 °C (−4 °F to +140 °F)
Linearly derate combined load from 100 to 50 mA at temperatures
from +60 °C to 70 °C (140 °F to 158 °F )
Off-state leakage current:
NPN: less than 200 μA @ 30 V dc (See the Application Note)
PNP: less than 10 μA @ 30 V dc
Repeatability
Opposed Mode: 100 microseconds
All others: 350 microseconds
ON-state saturation voltage:
Indicators
2 LED indicators
Green solid: Power ON
Yellow (back cover) ON: Black wire (pin 4) is conducting; an object is
within sensor’s field of view
Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or
short circuit of outputs
Connections
2 m (6.5 ft) 4-wire PVC cable, 9 m (30 ft) 4-wire PVC cable, 4-pin Picostyle integral QD, 4-pin Euro-style integral QD, 4-pin Pico-style Pigtail
QD, or 4-pin Euro-style Pigtail QD, depending on model
Application Notes
NPN off-state leakage current is < 200 μA for load resistances > 3 kΩ
or optically isolated loads. For load current of 100 mA, leakage is < 1%
of load current.
Operating Conditions
Temperature: −20 °C to +70 °C (−4 °F to +158 °F)
90% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing)
Environmental Rating
IEC IP67; NEMA 6; UL Type 1
Certifications
Industrial
Control
Equipment
NPN: < 1.6 V @ 100 mA

Required Overcurrent Protection
WARNING: Electrical connections must be
made by qualified personnel in accordance
with local and national electrical codes and
regulations.
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.
