Mini Convergent Sensor for Precise Detection

The Banner VS1AP5C20 is a self-contained infrared convergent-mode sensor designed for industrial automation tasks that require accurate presence detection at a fixed 20 mm range. It operates on a 10-30 V dc supply and provides a complementary PNP light-operate output with a 1 ms response time, making it suitable for high-speed counting or positioning applications.

Ideal for Fixed-Range Industrial Sensing

This unit suits engineers who need a compact rectangular sensor with a 2 m cable for permanent installation in machines or conveyors where the target distance is constant. It is not suited for applications requiring adjustable sensing distances, teach-in functionality, or longer-range diffuse or through-beam detection. Buyers needing remote configuration or water-detection capabilities should consider other sensing technologies.

Cable-Ready Housing With Environmental Protection

The 2 m (6.5 ft) pre-wired cable eliminates the need for separate quick-disconnect cables and simplifies wiring in control cabinets. An IP54 and NEMA 3 rated thermoplastic housing with an acrylic lens protects the electronics from dust and splashing water in environments up to 55 °C and 80 % relative humidity. The 865 nm infrared LED and 250 µs repeatability ensure consistent switching performance without additional accessories.

Questions about this item

What power supply voltage range must I already have available to run the VS1AP5C20 sensor?

The sensor operates on a 10-30 V dc supply, so any source within that range will power it correctly.

Will the 2 m cable and PNP output on this sensor connect directly to the terminal blocks on my older PLC input module?

Yes, the 2 m (6.5 ft) cable carries a complementary PNP light-operate signal that is compatible with standard PNP PLC inputs.

After wiring the sensor, which LED indication confirms it is detecting an object at the 20 mm convergent point?

The indicator LEDs illuminate when the infrared beam detects a target at the 20 mm focal distance, showing the output is active.
