Q25 Sensors – dc-Voltage Series
Self-contained, dc-operated sensors
* Standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed.
• 9 m (30') cable: add suffix “W/30” (e.g., Q256E W/30).
• 4-pin Euro-style QD models: add suffix “Q” (e.g., Q256EQ). A model with a QD connector requires a
mating cable.
WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection.
Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. These sensors do
NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in
personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either
an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current
Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and
IEC standards for personnel protection.

WARRANTY: Banner Engineering Corp. warrants its products to be free from defects for
one year. Banner Engineering Corp. will repair or replace, free of charge, any product of its

P/N 116165
Supply Voltage and Current (exclusive of load current): 10 to 30V dc (10% max.
ripple); supply current (exclusive of load current):
Emitters: 25 mA
Receivers: 20 mA
Polarized Retroreflective: 30 mA
Fixed-Field: 35 mA
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output Configuration
SPDT solid-state dc switch; Choose NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current
sourcing) models
Light Operate: N.O. output conducts when sensor sees its own (or the
emitter’s) modulated light
Dark Operate: N.C. output conducts when the sensor sees dark; the N.C.
(normally closed) output may be wired as a normally open
marginal signal alarm output, depending upon hookup to power
supply (U.S. patent 5087838)
Output Rating
150 mA maximum (each) in standard hookup. When wired for alarm output, the
total load may not exceed 150 mA.
OFF-state leakage current: < 1 microamp @ 30V dc
ON-state saturation voltage: < 1V at 10 mA dc; < 1.5V at 150 mA dc
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short
circuit of outputs
Output Response Time
Opposed mode: 3 ms ON, 1.5 ms OFF
Polarized Retro and Fixed-Field: 3 ms ON and OFF
NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time.
Repeatability
Opposed mode: 375 µs
Polarized Retro and Fixed-Field: 750 µs
Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength.
Indicators
Two LEDs (Green and Yellow)
Green ON steady: power to sensor is ON
Green flashing: output is overloaded
Yellow ON steady: N.O. output is conducting
Yellow flashing: excess gain marginal (1 to 1.5x) in light condition
Construction
PBT polyester housing; polycarbonate (opposed-mode) or acrylic lens
Environmental Rating
Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P, DIN 40050 (IP69K)
Connections
2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30') attached cable, or 4-pin Euro-style quick-disconnect
fitting
Operating Conditions
Temperature: -40° to +70°C (-40° to +158°F)
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50°C (non-condensing)
Vibration and Mechanical Shock
All models meet Mil. Std. 202F requirements. Method 201A (Vibration;
frequency 10 to 60 Hz, max., double amplitude 0.06" acceleration 10G).
Method 213B conditions H&I (Shock: 75G with unit operating; 100G for
non-operation)
