Note: Users must purchase one emitter and one receiver for opposed mode sensors.
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, S186E W/30).
• To order the 4-pin M12/Euro-style QD models, add suffix Q (for example, S186EQ). A model with a QD connector requires a
mating cable.
2 Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.

Wiring for the quick disconnect (QD) models is functionally identical.
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
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
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
2
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
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.
Repeatability
Opposed mode models: 375 μs
Retroreflective, fixed-field, and diffuse mode models: 750 μs
Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength.
