WARNING . . .

Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.

These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their 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.

M12 Series Metal Barrel Sensors

Rugged, self-contained sensors in a 12 mm threaded barrel

Features

Complete family of sensors, all housed in a compact 12 mm threaded metal barrel

Opposed, retroreflective, polarized retroreflective, diffuse and 25, 50, or 75 mm cutoff

fixed-field mode operation, depending on model
Excellent background suppression on fixed-field models; an excellent alternative to

proximity sensors
Two Signal indicator LEDs for easy operating status monitoring from any direction

10 to 30V dc operation

Complementary solid-state outputs (1 normally open, 1 normally closed); PNP

(sourcing) or NPN (sinking), depending on model

Models

* Only standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed. For 9 m (30') cable, add suffix

W/30” to the model number (e.g., M12E W/30).
QD models:
• 4-pin integral Euro-style M12 connector: add suffix “Q8” (e.g., M12EQ8).
• 4-pin 150 mm (6") Euro-style pigtail: add suffix “Q5” (e.g., M12EQ5).

† Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-84 retroreflector. Actual

sensing range may be more or less than specified, depending upon efficiency and
reflective area of the retroreflector(s) used.
