T18-2VPLP-Q8 is a Banner T18-2 series polarized retroreflective photo sensor with a 6 m range to a BRT-84 reflector, in a right-angle 18 mm housing for washdown areas. The polarizing filter rejects light returned by shiny objects, so they break the beam instead of acting as a reflector.
- Sensing range: 6 m with a BRT-84 reflector
- Output: complementary PNP, Light Operate (black wire) and Dark Operate (white wire), 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 (10-24 V DC above +55 °C), < 16 mA
- Housing: right-angle, M18x1 thread, PBT polyester, PMMA window, epoxy-encapsulated electronics
- Environment: IP67, IP68, IP69K, -40...+70 °C
- Connection: integral M12 4-pin male connector
Needs a reflector, ordered separately. There is no sensitivity adjustment. A green LED shows power and flashes at a marginal signal; the amber LED shows that the black-wire output is on.
ECOLAB certified chemical compatibility. Vibration tested to MIL-STD-202G, method 201A; shock to method 213B (75 g operating).
