Polarised Retroreflective Sensor

The Banner QS18EN6LPQ5 is a polarised retroreflective photoelectric sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. Its visible red LED beam reaches 3.5 m and operates on 10 to 30 V dc, making it suitable for conveyor monitoring, packaging lines and general presence sensing.

3.5 m Range with 0.6 ms Response

The sensor reliably detects targets within 3.5 m and switches in 0.6 ms, providing enough speed for most assembly and material-handling applications. At distances beyond the rated range or in heavy contamination the signal margin drops, so the unit runs out of headroom in very dusty or long-span environments.

ABS Housing with M12 Pigtail

The rectangular ABS housing carries an M18 mounting thread and meets IP67 and NEMA 6 ratings for wash-down duty. A 6 in pigtail with a 4-pin M12 Euro connector simplifies wiring in cable trays, while the teach button allows quick setup without opening the enclosure.

Questions about this item

Will the 10-30 V dc input range match the voltage in my current control panel?

The sensor accepts any supply between 10 and 30 V dc, so it will operate on the same low-voltage rail used by many industrial panels.

How can I confirm the sensor is detecting targets correctly after mounting?

Watch the indicator LEDs; they change state when the beam is made or broken, and the 0.6 ms response time means the signal follows target movement almost instantly.

Does the box include the M12 mating cable or must I order it separately?

The unit comes with a 6 in pigtail ending in a 4-pin M12 Euro-style quick-disconnect; the matching cordset is sold separately.
