* Standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed.
• 9 m (30') cable: add suffix “W/30” (e.g., T186E W/30).
• 4-pin Euro-style QD models: add suffix “Q” (e.g., T186EQ). A model with a QD connector requires a mating
cable.
†
Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.

WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. These
devices do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized output condition.
Consult your current Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products that meet OSHA, ANSI, and IEC
standards for personnel protection.

Banner Engineering Corp. warrants its products to be free from defects in material and workmanship for one year following the date of shipment. Banner Engineering Corp. will
repair or replace, free of charge, any product of its manufacture which, at the time it is returned to the factory, is found to have been defective during the warranty period. This
warranty does not cover damage or liability for misuse, abuse, or the improper application of the Banner product.
THIS LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE), AND WHETHER ARISING UNDER COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING OR TRADE USAGE.
This Warranty is exclusive and limited to repair or, at the discretion of Banner Engineering Corp., replacement. IN NO EVENT SHALL BANNER ENGINEERING CORP. BE LIABLE
TO BUYER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR ANY EXTRA COSTS, EXPENSES, LOSSES, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM ANY PRODUCT DEFECT OR FROM THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCT, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT OR WARRANTY, STATUTE,
TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE.
Banner Engineering Corp. reserves the right to change, modify or improve the design of the product without assuming any obligations or liabilities relating to any product previously
manufactured by Banner Engineering Corp.
Supply Voltage and Current (exclusive of load current). 10 to 30V dc (10% max
ripple)
Supply current (exclusive of load current):
Emitters, Non-Polarized Retro, Diffuse: 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. (nor-
mally 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
Retro, Fixed-Field and Diffuse: 3 ms ON and OFF
NOTE: 100 ms delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time.
Repeatability
Opposed mode: 375 µs
Retro, Fixed-Field and Diffuse: 750 µs
Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength.
Adjustments
Non-polarized retro and diffuse models (only) have a single-turn rear-panel
sensitivity control (turn clockwise to increase gain).
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)
