Visible red or infrared sensing beam, depending on model
Up to 3 m (118 in) sensing range (see Range specifications)
Choose dark or light operate models
Choose models with NPN or PNP output

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.

VS2 Opposed-Mode Sensors
Overview
VS2 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.

Specifications
Supply Voltage and Current
10 V dc to 30 V dc (10% maximum ripple)
Emitter: 25 mA (visible beam); 30 mA (infrared beam)
Receiver: 25 mA (exclusive of load)
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output Configuration
SPST solid-state switch
Choose NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) models
Choose light operate (N.O.) or dark operate (N.C.) models
Output Rating
50 mA maximum
Off-state leakage current: < 1 microamp at 24V dc
On-state saturation voltage: < 0.25V at 10 mA dc; < 0.5V at 50 mA dc
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against output short-circuit, continuous overload, and false pulse on power-up
Overload trip point ≥ 100 mA
Output Response Time
1 millisecond ON and 0.5 milliseconds OFF
Note: 100 millisecond delay on power-up: output is nonconducting during this time
Repeatability
100 microseconds
Indicators
Two LEDs: Green and Amber
Green ON = power to sensor is ON
Green flashing = output overload
Amber ON = light is sensed
Amber flashing = marginal excess gain (1–1.5×) in light condition
Construction
Black ABS housing with clear MABS lens
Connections
2 m (6.5 ft) attached cable: three #28 ga stranded conductors with PE insulation; PVC
outer cable jacket; or 3-pin 150 mm (6.5 in) Pico-style quick-disconnect fitting. QD cables
are ordered separately.
Environmental Rating
IEC IP67, NEMA 6
Operating Conditions
−20 °C to +55 °C (−4 °F to +131°F)
80% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (non-condensing)
Vibration and Mechanical Shock
Vibration: All models meet IEC 60068-2-6, IEC 60947-5-2, UL491 Section 40, MILSTD-202F Method 201A; 10 to 60 Hz, 0.5 mm peak to peak
Shock: All models meet IEC 60068-2-27, IEC 60947-5-2; 30g peak acceleration, 11
millisecond pulse duration, half-sine wave pulse shape
Application Notes
M2 stainless steel mounting hardware included. Optional mounting brackets are
available
