• Easy-to-set automatic Expert-style Static and Dynamic TEACH options, multiple
Single-Point Set options, plus manual adjustment for fine tuning
• Smart power-control algorithm to maximize performance in low-contrast applica-
tions
• Normal mode provides 1.8 ms sensing response with improved crosstalk avoid-
ance routine (for two sensors) and improved fluorescent light immunity
• Selectable high-speed (HS) mode option for 300-microsecond response (crosstalk
avoidance and fluorescent light immunity disabled)
• Easy push-button Dark Operate/Light Operate select, output OFF-delay, and oper-
ating speed setup
• Powerful, highly collimated visible red sensing beam
• Easy-to-read operating status indicators, with 8-segment bar graph display
• Bipolar discrete outputs, PNP and NPN
• Selectable 30-millisecond OFF-delay
• Compact housing, mounting versatility – via popular 30 mm threaded barrel or
side-mount
• Tough ABS housing is rated IEC IP67; NEMA 6
• Models available with 2 m or 9 m (6.5 ft or 30 ft) cable or integral quick-disconnect
Models Range Cable Supply Voltage Output Type
QS30EDV High-Speed Mode: 1,100 mm (43 inches
Normal Mode: 1,400 mm (55 inches)
2 m (6.5 ft) 5-wire cable
10 to 30V dc Bipolar NPN/PNP
QS30EDVQ Integral 5-pin Euro-style QD
Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" (QS30EDV W/30). A model with a
QD connector requires a mating cable; see Accessories on page 10.
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious
injury or death. This device does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its
use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-
energized sensor output condition.
Overview
The QS30EDV is an easy-to-use diffuse-mode sensor. It provides high-perform-
ance sensing in low-contrast applications. Its visible red beam provides easy sen-
sor alignment. The sensor offers multiple configuration options, in addition to man-
ual fine adjustment, remote programming, and security lockout options.
The sensor features bipolar outputs, one each NPN and PNP.
The sensor’s compact housing has a large, easy-to-see bar graph display plus
bright LEDs for easy configuration and status monitoring during operation. LEDs 1
through 4 of the bar graph display also show configuration status during setup.
The sensor can be side-mounted, using its integral mounting holes, or front-moun-
ted, via its 30 mm threaded barrel.
