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.

Cabled wiring diagrams are shown. Quick disconnect (QD) wiring diagrams are functionally identical.
1 Only standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cabled models are listed.
• To order the 9 m (30 ft) integral cable model, add suffix “W/30” to the model number (for example, QS30E W/30).
• To order the 5-pin integral M12/Euro-style quick disconnect (QD), add suffix “Q” (for example, QS30EQ).
2 Polarized Retroreflective and Retroreflective ranges are specified using a model BRT-84 retroreflector.

WORLD-BEAM® QS30 Series Sensor (DC Voltage)
Specifications
Supply Voltage
10 V dc to 30 V dc (10% max. ripple) at less than 40 mA, exclusive of load
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output Response
Opposed Mode: 5 milliseconds ON and OFF
All others: 2 milliseconds
NOTE: 100 millisecond delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time
Repeatability
Opposed Mode: not applicable
All others: 500 microseconds
Cutoff Point Tolerance
Fixed-Field only: ± 5% of nominal cutoff distance
Construction and Mounting
ABS housing, rated IEC IP67; NEMA 6; Acrylic lens cover
3 mm mounting hardware included
Connections
2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated 5-wire PVC cable; 9 m (30 ft) unterminated 5-wire PVC
cable ; or Integral 5-pin M12/Euro-style male quick disconnect (QD)
Application Tip for the QS30LV Model
For best sensing reliability, targets should be a minimum of 0.5m from the sensor
Output Configuration
Bipolar: One current sourcing and one current sinking
Rating: 100 mA maximum each output at 25 °C
Off-state leakage current:
NPN: less than 200 μA
PNP: less than 10 μA
ON-state saturation voltage:
NPN: less than 1.6 V at 100 mA
PNP: less than 2.0 V at 100 mA
Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short circuit of
outputs
Adjustments
Selectable Light/Dark Operate is achieved via the gray wire.
Opposed, Retroreflective, and Polarized Retroreflective models:
Light Operate - Low (0 to 3 V)*
Dark Operate - High (open or 5 to 30 V)*
Diffuse and Fixed-Field models:
Light Operate - High (open or 5 to 30 V)*
Dark Operate - Low (0 to 3 V)*
Diffuse, Retroreflective, and Polarized Retroreflective mode models (only):
Single-turn Sensitivity (Gain) adjustment potentiometer
* Input impedance 10 kΩ
Indicators
2 LEDs on sensor top:
Operating Conditions
–20 °C to +70 °C (–4 °F to +158 °F)
95% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing)
Vibration and Mechanical Shock
All models meet Mil Std. 202F requirements. Method 201A (vibration: 10 Hz to 60 Hz
max., double amplitude 0.06 inch, maximum acceleration 10G). Also meets IEC
947-5-2 requirements: 30G 11 ms duration, half sine wave.
