Supply Protection CircuitryProtected against transient voltages
Output ConfigurationQ45VR2 models (except emitters):SPDT (single-pole double-throw) electromechanical relay output
Q45BW22 models:Short circuit /overload protected FET solid-state relay
Output RatingQ45VR2 models:
Max. switching power (resistive load):150W, 600 VA
Max. switching voltage (resistive load):250V ac or 30V dc
Max. switching current (resistive load):5A @ 250V ac
Min. voltage and current:5V dc, 0.1 mA
Mechanical life of relay:10,000,000 operations
Electrical life of relay at full resistive load:10,000 operations
Q45BW22 models:
Continuous current:300 mA max. to 50° C (derate to 200 mA @ 70° C, 5 mA/° C)
Inrush current:3A max. for 100 milliseconds, 5A max. for 1 millisecond
OFF-state leakage current: less than 100 µA
Saturation voltage:less than 3V @ 200 mA
Output Response TimeResponse time is independent of signal strength. Q45VR2 models:15 milliseconds ON/OFF
Q45BW22 models:
Opposed:2 milliseconds ON; 1 milliseconds OFF
All others:2 milliseconds ON/OFF
Delay at Power-up100 milliseconds; outputs do not conduct during this time.
RepeatabilityRepeatability is independent of signal strength. Opposed:0.25 milliseconds
All others:0.5 milliseconds
AdjustmentsLight-operate/dark-operate select switch and multi-turn sensitivity control on top of sensor, beneath a transparent polycarbonate o-ring sealed cover, allows precise sensitivity setting (turn clockwise to increase gain). Optional logic and logic/display modules have adjustable timing functions.
IndicatorsIndicator LEDs are highly visible, located beneath a raised transparent polycarbonate dome on top of the sensor. Power (Green):LED lights whenever 90 to 250V ac power is applied and flashes to indicate ouput overload or output short circuit
Signal (Red):LED lights whenever the sensor sees its modulated light source and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal
Load (Yellow):LED lights whenever an output relay is energized
Optional 7-segment display:LED display lights for signal strength
ConstructionMolded reinforced thermoplastic polyester housing, o-ring sealed transparent polycarbonate cover, molded acrylic lenses and stainless-steel hardware. Q45s are designed to meet 1200 psi washdown. The base of cabled models has a 1/2 inch NPS integral internal conduit thread.
Environmental RatingNEMA 6P; IEC IP67
ConnectionsQ45VR2 models:PVC-jacketed 2-wire (emitters) or 5-wire (all others) 2 m or 9 m cables, or 3-pin (emitters) or 5-pin integral Mini-style QD (Q). QD cable are ordered separately.
Q45BW22 models:PVC-jacketed 2 m or 9 m cables, or 3-pin integral Mini-style QD (Q), or 4-pin integral Micro-style QD (Q1), depending on model. QD cable are ordered separately.
Operating ConditionsTemperature:-40° to +70° C
Relative humidity:90% @ 50° C (non-condensing)
Application NoteTransient suppression is recommended for contacts switching inductive loads. Optional logic timing modules are available.
