Product Identity

The Banner QS18VP6AF300Q5 is a rectangular photoelectric sensor with adjustable background suppression. It detects objects at distances between 30 and 300 millimetres using a visible red LED beam. The unit operates on a 10 to 30 volt DC supply and provides complementary PNP outputs. An IP67 and NEMA 6 rated ABS housing suits industrial environments.

Installation Checks

Verify that your control system accepts PNP discrete signals and supplies 10 to 30 volts DC. The sensor terminates in a four-pin M12 Euro-style quick-disconnect pigtail, so a matching cable is required. Confirm the operating temperature range of minus 20 to 55 degrees Celsius and up to 95 percent relative humidity at 50 degrees Celsius matches the installation site. Mechanical screw adjustment sets the cutoff distance.

Upgrade Context

This sensor replaces fixed-range or diffuse-mode units when reliable detection against varying backgrounds is needed. The adjustable field suppression ignores objects beyond the set cutoff, reducing false triggers. A 2.5 millisecond response time and 250 microsecond repeatability suit high-speed counting or positioning tasks. It is not suited for applications requiring intrinsic safety certification or remote teach functionality.

Questions about this item

Does the sensor ship with the M12 mating cable or do I need to buy it separately?

The unit includes a 6 in. pigtail with an M12 Euro-style quick-disconnect; the matching cordset is sold separately.

When should I pick the 30-300 mm adjustable background-suppression version over a fixed-range model?

Choose this version when the target distance varies between 30 mm and 300 mm and you need to ignore background objects beyond the set cutoff.

What does the 2.5 ms response time mean for a high-speed packaging line?

The sensor can switch states every 2.5 ms, allowing reliable detection of objects moving at typical packaging speeds without missing counts.
