Industrial proximity sensor for automation

The Banner QS18AB6AF300Q5 is a rectangular photoelectric sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. It uses adjustable-field background suppression to ignore objects beyond a set cutoff distance. The visible red LED beam and 4-pin M12 pigtail connector suit machine builders who need reliable presence sensing in a compact ABS housing.

Background-suppression range limited to 300 mm

The cutoff adjustment spans 30 mm to 300 mm, so targets farther than 300 mm cannot be detected regardless of reflectivity. Supply voltage must stay within 10 V dc to 30 V dc, and the bipolar NPN/PNP light-operate outputs switch with a 2.5 ms response time. The sensor is rated IP67 and NEMA 6 for wash-down environments up to 55 °C.

Fixed 300 mm maximum sensing distance decides fit

If the application requires detection beyond 300 mm this model will not reach the target and a different sensing principle is needed. Within its range the mechanical screw adjustment sets the exact cutoff, while the 200 ms power-up delay and 250 µs repeatability support consistent cycling on conveyors or packaging lines.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 30 mm minimum or 300 mm maximum cutoff for my application?

Choose the cutoff distance between 30 mm and 300 mm that places the target inside the sensing zone while keeping the background beyond it. The mechanical screw adjustment lets you set the exact point for your specific setup.

What does the 300 mm sensing distance mean when the sensor is mounted on a machine?

It detects objects up to 300 mm away using a visible red LED at 640 nm. Background suppression ignores surfaces beyond the set cutoff, so only items within the adjusted range trigger the output.

How does the M12 Euro-style quick-disconnect affect wiring and voltage limits?

The 4-pin M12 pigtail carries 10-30 V dc supply and provides both NPN and PNP light-operate outputs. The connector is rated IP67 and NEMA 6 for harsh environments.
