Cycolac® is a registered trademark of General Electric Co.
Q85s are compact, economical, infrared diffuse (proximity)
mode photoelectric sensors in rugged NEMA-6P rated ABS
housings. They are ideally suited to conveyor control and
similar applications. The timing logic functions offered in the
"T9" models provide additional control capabilities over and
above the basic model's ON/OFF (no delay) function. All Q85
sensors feature a convenient wiring chamber with two conduit
entrances for ease of connection, positioning, and mounting.
Sensing range is 39 inches (1 meter), referenced to a 90% re-
ectance white test card.
Q85 Series sensors operate from either 24-240V ac or 12-240V
dc and draw 2 watts maximum. They have SPDT electrome-
chanical relay output, and are available with a choice of either
ON/OFF or programmable timing output logic. Models with
programmable timing logic ("T9" models) provide eight switch-
selectable logic functions: ON/OFF (no delay), ON delay, OFF
delay, ON/OFF delay, one-shot (pulse), on-delayed one-shot,
limit timer, and on-delayed limit timer. The adjustable time
range for delay functions and pulse length is 0.1 to 5 seconds
(see page 2). All models feature a SENSITIVITY control for
precise adjustment of sensing gain.
Two top-mounted LED indicators are provided, and are visible
through a window in the wiring chamber's gasketed cover. A red
indicator (Banner's exclusive, patented AID™ system*) lights
whenever the sensor "sees" the reection of its own modulated
light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength
of the received light signal. A yellow output indicator lights
whenever the Q85's output is energized.
Q85 Series sensors have rugged yellow Cycolac®
ABS housings
with ultrasonically-welded acrylic lenses. A gasketed ABS cover
protects the wiring chamber and the timing and sensitivity ad-
justment controls inside. Two 1/2-14 NPSM conduit entrances
are provided, and a plug and gasket are included for a possible
unused entrance. Q85 Series sensors are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3,
3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, and 13 (IEC IP67). An 11-gauge plated
steel mounting bracket and two plated mounting bolts and nuts
(see photo above and drawing on page 2) are included.

Q85VR3DL-T9
sensor with

Sensing range:
39 inches (1 meter), referenced to a 90% reectance white test card.
Sensing beam: infrared, 880 nanometers.
Supply voltage: 24 to 240V ac, 50/60 Hz or 12 to 240V dc (2 watts
maximum). No polarity for power supply hookup.
Models and Output Congurations:
Q85VR3DL = SPDT e/m relay, on/off output
Q85VR3DL-T9 = SPDT e/m relay, with programmable timer
Output relay specications:
Maximum switching power (resistive load): 90W, 750VA. Install
transient suppressor (MOV) across contacts that switch inductive
loads. Maximum switching voltage (resistive load): 250V ac or 30V
dc. Maximum switching current (resistive load): 3A.
Minimum voltage and current: 5V dc, 10 mA.
Mechanical life: 50,000,000 operations.
Electrical life at full resistive load: 100,000 operations.
Maximum switching speed: 25 operations per second.
Closure time (no timing logic in use): 20 milliseconds max.
Release time (no timing logic in use): 20 milliseconds max.
Repeatability (no timing logic in use): 1 millisecond.
All sensors are protected against false pulse on power-up. (False pulse
protection circuit causes a 100 millisecond delay on power-up.)
Adjustments: All models have a single-turn SENSITIVITY control
potentiometer, accessible beneath the ABS wiring chamber cover (T9
models also have a light/dark operate switch). Timing logic (T9 models
only) is congured at a DIP switch. Pulse length and delay are set by a
single-turn potentiometer (accessible under the wiring chamber cover).
The adjustable time range for both functions is 0.1 to 5 seconds; both
functions are automatically set to the same value.
Status Indicators: LEDs, one red and one yellow, both top-mounted.
Red AID™ system (Alignment Indicating Device, US patent #4356393)
indicator LED lights whenever the sensor "sees" its own modulated light,
and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the light signal.
Yellow indicator lights whenever the sensor's output is energized.
Construction:
Yellow Cycolac® ABS housing, plated steel hardware. Acrylic lens.
ABS cover for wiring/adjustments access. Rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4,
4X, 6, 6P, 12, and 13; IEC IP67. It is the customer's responsibility to
maintain NEMA 6P integrity at the conduit entrance(s) in use. Maximum
wire size (for connection to wiring terminals) is #14 AWG.
Operating temperature range: -25° to +55°C (-13° to +131°F).
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50°C (non-condensing).

Hookup to the ac line and the external load is made at the ve terminals
inside the wiring chamber (see drawing below). There is no polarity for
power supply hookup. Output is an SPDT electromechanical relay.
The output timing logic function (on sensor models with T9 model
number sufx) is selected at the timing logic programming switches,
according to the table (right). The output timing logic delays are set at
the single-turn time adjustment potentiometer. When the timing function
involves more than one time (as in ON and OFF delay, ON-delayed
one-shot, and ON-delayed limit timer functions), the potentiometer sets
both times to the same value.

With the light/dark operate switch (T9 models) set to light operate
(L.O.), the sensor's electromechanical output relay is energized when
the sensor sees the reection of its own modulated light source. In the
dark operate (D.O.) position, the output is energized when the sensor
does not see the reection of its modulated light source.
Sensor sensitivity is set at the single-turn sensitivity adjustment po-
tentiometer.
