Banner Q45 Namur DC Series - Manual

Intrinsically safe DC sensors
• Intrinsically safe sensors with the rugged design and exceptional optical performance
of Q45 series sensors
• Use with approved switching amplifiers that have intrinsically safe input circuits
• Output passes ≤ 1.2 mA in the “dark” condition and ≥ 2.1 mA in the “light” condition
• Internal multi-turn SENSITIVITY (Gain) control accessible beneath hinged, o-ring
sealed top cover
• Models are available with an integral cable or a quick-disconnect connector
• Supply voltage: 5 to 15V dc
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.
Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number (Q459E
W/30). Models with a QD connector require a mating cable (see Accessories list).
Opposed Models - Emitter (E) and Receiver (R)
The opposed mode models operate at 880 nm infrared with a range of 6 meters (20 feet).

Retroreflective Models
The retroreflective mode models operate at 680 nm, visible red. Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-3 P retroreflector
(3-inch diameter). Actual sensing range may be more or less than specified, depending upon the efficiency and reflective area of the
retroreflector(s) in use.
