18 mm M12 Photoelectric Sensor

This Banner QS18VP6LPQ5 is a polarised retroreflective sensor built for industrial detection tasks. It operates on a 10-30 V dc supply and switches a complementary PNP output. The 18 mm rectangular housing fits standard M18 mounting points and carries an IP67 and NEMA 6 rating for harsh environments.

Sustained Load Behaviour

The sensor maintains a consistent 0.6 ms response time and 150 µs repeatability across its full 3.5 m sensing range. A 100 ms power-up delay prevents false triggers during system start-up. The ABS housing and acrylic lens withstand continuous exposure from -20 °C to 70 °C at up to 95 % relative humidity at 50 °C.

Installation and Common Issues

A 6-inch pigtail with a 4-pin M12 Euro connector simplifies wiring to standard cordsets. Sensitivity is adjusted via a built-in potentiometer for light or dark operate modes. The visible red 630 nm LED beam aids alignment, but the sensor lacks remote teach or water detection features, so setup requires physical access.

Questions about this item

What is the power consumption of the QS18VP6LPQ5 when operating continuously within its 10-30 V dc supply range?

The sensor operates on a 10-30 V dc supply with a 100 ms delay at power-up and a 0.6 ms output response time, drawing minimal current typical for polarized retroreflective photoelectric sensors in this class.

Which mating connector and reflector are required for the QS18VP6LPQ5 to function out of the box?

A 4-pin M12 (Euro) quick-disconnect cable is needed for the pigtail QD connector, and a standard corner-cube retroreflector must be mounted opposite the sensor to complete the 3.5 m polarized retro beam path.

Will the QS18VP6LPQ5 fit existing 18 mm mounting brackets and work alongside legacy 10-30 V dc PNP controls?

Yes, the rectangular housing uses an M18 mount on an 18 mm barrel, and its complementary PNP outputs are compatible with existing 10-30 V dc discrete-input PLC or relay logic.
