Crosstalk rejection algorithm protects against optical disturbance from adjacent sensors
Excellent optical performance throughout sensing range, even close up
10 V dc to 30 V dc operation, with complementary (SPDT) NPN or PNP outputs, depending
on model
Bright LED operating status indicators are visible from 360°
Compact, rugged sealed housing, protected circuitry
Mounting versatility – popular 18 mm threaded barrel or side-mount
Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable or one of four QD options
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.

Integral 2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix
"W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, QS18VN6LD W/30. Models with a quick disconnect require a mating
cordset. To order the QD models:
• To order the 4-pin M12/Euro-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q8" to the model number. For
example, QS18VN6LDQ8.
• To order the 4-pin M8/Pico-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q7" to the model number. For
example, QS18VN6LDQ7
• To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q5" to
the model number. For example, QS18VN6LDQ5.
• To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q" to the
model number. For example, QS18VN6LDQ.

Description of Laser Classes
Class 1 Lasers
Class 1 lasers are lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical
instruments for intrabeam viewing.
Reference IEC 60825-1:2001, Section 8.2.
Class 1 Laser Characteristics: See Specifications.
CAUTION: Do Not Disassemble for Repair
This device contains no user-serviceable components. Do not
attempt to disassemble for repair. Use of controls or
adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. A
defective unit must be returned to the manufacturer.
For Safe Laser Use (Class 1 or Class 2):
• Do not stare at the laser.
• Do not point the laser at a person’s eye.
• Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical.
• Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path.
