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.

Overview
VS1 Series miniature self-contained sensors are designed for precision sensing in small areas previously accessible only to
remote or fiber optic models. Typical applications include mounting inside vibrating feeders and electronic component
handling equipment, where larger sensors will not fit.
The sensing energy of a convergent-mode sensor is concentrated at the specified focus point. Convergent-mode sensors
are less sensitive to background reflections, compared with diffuse-mode sensors. Contact the factory if background
reflections are a problem.

To order 9 m cables models, add suffix “W/30” to the model number (e.g., VS1AN5CV10 W/30).
To order 150 mm (6 inch) cable with threaded 3-pin Pico-style quick disconnect fitting models, add suffix “Q” to the
model number (e.g., VS1AN5CV10Q). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see Accessories on page

VS1 Series Sensors
Installation Notes
Included with each sensor is a hardware packet containing two stainless steel M2 × 0.4 × 16 mm Phillips pan-head
machine screws, flat washers, lock washers, and hex nuts. To mount the sensor, use the supplied flat washer against the
front surface of the sensor housing, between it and the screw head. If mounting to one of the optional brackets, place the
lock washer against the back of the bracket, followed by the nut. If mounting directly to a threaded hole, place the lock
washer between the screw head and the flat washer.
For best results, mount the VS1 where it is protected from moisture, high humidity and dirt.
