WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This product 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. Consult your current Banner Safety Products
catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
Features
• Patented design allows for a sensor only one-third the size of the original
MINI-BEAM.
• 12 mm threaded barrel on most models.
• Uses advanced miniaturized microprocessor-based circuitry.
• Simple setup, using digital push-button sensitivity adjustment.
• Available for opposed, retroreflective, diffuse, and convergent sensing modes.
• 10 to 30V dc operation.
• Complementary outputs (one normally open and one normally closed), each with
150 mA switching capacity.
• IP67 and NEMA 6 environmental ratings.
• Wraparound status indicators.
• Models with either integral, unterminated cable or 150 mm (6”) pigtail with 4-pin
Pico-style connector.

Their small effective beam size is ideal for accuracy-dependent applications. They
provide enough excess gain at short range to burn through even contaminated areas
and may even sense opaque materials through a thin-walled container.

* 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., QS126E W/30).
A model with a pigtail QD requires a mating cable (see page 7).
