** For 9 m cable, add suffix W/30 to the 2 m model number (example, QS18VN6F W/30). A model with a QD requires a mating cable (see pages 378 and 380).
QD models:
• For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix Q8 (example, QS18VN6FQ8). • For 4-pin 150 mm Euro-style pigtail, add suffix Q5 (example, QS18VN6FQ5).
• For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD, add suffix Q7 (example, QS18VN6FQ7). • For 4-pin 150 mm Pico-style pigtail, add suffix Q (example, QS18VN6FQ).
WORLD-BEAM® QS18 Specifications
Supply Voltage Retroreflective, Diffuse and Adjustable-field Laser models: 10 to 30V dc (10% max. ripple) at less than
15 mA, exclusive of load
Laser Emitter models: 10 to 30V dc (10% max. ripple) at less than 35 mA, exclusive of load
