Photo sensor QS18VP6DVSQ8, diffuse 250 mm, small visible spot, PNP, NO/NC, 10-30VDC, M12 4-pin

QS18VP6DVSQ8 is a Banner QS18 series diffuse photo sensor with a small visible red 630 nm light spot. It detects an object by the light the object reflects back to the sensor, and the visible spot shows exactly where it is aimed.

• Sensing range: 250 mm
• Output: complementary PNP, Light Operate and Dark Operate, 100 mA each
• Response: 850 µs ON/OFF; repeatability 90 µs
• Supply: 10-30 V DC, < 25 mA
• Housing: ABS, 18 mm threaded nose or side mounting, 3 mm hardware included
• Environment: IP67, -20...+70 °C
• Connection: integral M12 4-pin male connector

A green LED indicator shows power; the amber one shows light sensed and flashes at marginal excess gain. Sensitivity is set with a single-turn potentiometer.

Vibration tested to MIL-STD-202F, method 201A; shock to IEC 60947-5-2.
