Miniature self-contained sensors
VS3 Series Retroreflective Mode Sensors
VS3 Series Retroreflective Mode Sensor Features
• Extremely compact self-contained miniature sensor
• Coaxial optics eliminate “blind” area at close range
• Visible red sensing beam (both polarized and non-polarized versions)
• Range to supplied retroreflector is 0 to 250 mm (up to 10")
• 10 to 30V dc operation
• Choice of integral cable or quick-disconnect connector
• 3-wire hookup; output load capacity to 50 mA
• Choose models with NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) output
• Choose dark- or light-operate models

User Application Notes:
• The VS3...XLP series should be used for general sensing applications like packages, small parts, mirror-like surfaces,
or documents. They are most effective when used with the supplied micro-prism reflector.
• When using glass bead tape, (e.g., 3M model 6870), non-polarized models (...XLV) must be used. These models should
also be considered when a glass lens (as in the LP models) is not permitted in the sensing environment.
• For non-polarized sensors, an object’s surface reflection (e.g., polished stainless steel), may be more reflective than
low-grade retro-reflective tape, and “bright” object transition may never be detected by the non-polarized sensor.
