Banner Q4XTBCOD300-Q8 Rugged Laser Distance Sensor 300 mm Range

Rugged Laser Sensor for Clear Objects

The Banner Q4XTBCOD300-Q8 is a Class 1 visible red laser distance sensor built in a stainless-steel rectangular housing with an M18 mounting thread. It targets industrial automation engineers who need reliable detection of transparent or low-contrast materials at close range. The sensor operates on 10-30 V dc supply voltage and provides both NPN and PNP discrete outputs rated at 100 mA maximum. Vibration and shock ratings meet MIL-STD-202G requirements for harsh environments.

Build Integration Requirements

The sensor connects via an integral Euro-style M12 5-pin quick-disconnect, so a compatible cordset or field-wireable connector is required to complete the wiring. Background and foreground suppression modes reduce false triggers from reflective backgrounds, freeing the programmer from complex filtering logic. A 750 ms power-up delay means the control system must allow this settling time before reading valid output states. The sensing window spans 25 mm to 300 mm, defining the clear zone the mounting geometry must provide.

Bundled Configuration Benefits

Push-button and remote teach adjustments let operators set switching thresholds without a PC software link, cutting commissioning time on the production floor. LED indicators give immediate visual confirmation of output status and alignment during setup. The bipolar output stage supplies both sinking and sourcing signals from a single device, reducing the number of sensor variants the maintenance stock must carry. Output protection guards against continuous overload and short-circuit conditions.
