Photo sensor M18-3VPLP-Q8, polarized retroreflective 6 m, PNP, NO/NC, 10-30VDC, M12 4-pin

M18-3VPLP-Q8 is a Banner M18-3 series polarized retroreflective photo sensor in an M18 nickel-plated brass barrel, with a visible red beam and a 6 m range with a BRT-84 reflector. The polarizing filter lets it detect shiny objects without false triggering.

• Sensing range: 6 m with BRT-84 reflector, no sensitivity adjustment
• Output: complementary PNP, one NO and one NC, 100 mA total (50 mA above +55 °C)
• Response: 1.5 ms ON, 0.75 ms OFF; repeatability 100 µs
• Supply: 10-30 V DC up to +55 °C, 10-24 V DC above; 16 mA
• Housing: M18 nickel-plated brass barrel, PMMA window
• Environment: IP67, IP69K, -40...+70 °C
• Connection: integral M12 4-pin male connector

A green LED indicator shows power and flashes at a marginal signal; amber LED indicators show the output is conducting.
