Q23 & QH23 Series

Online Learning Contact a Banner Engineer About Your Application

Overview

  • Available with vertical and horizontal housing
  • Delivers high power in a small package
  • Features ranges up to 8 m
  • Uses powerful visible red sensing beam for easy setup and alignment
  • Available in opposed, polarized retroreflective, convergent, diffuse and plastic fiber optic sensing modes
  • 10 to 30V dc with NPN or PNP output, depending on model
  • Marginal gain indicator with alarm output
The Q23 & QH23 families are being phased out. Please consider the Q20 family as an option for the Q23. There is not currently a direct replacement for the QH23.

Product Specifications

Supply Voltage and Current10 to 30V dc (10% max. ripple) Diffuse, Retroreflective and Fiber Optic:Less than 25 mA (exclusive of load)
Opposed Emitters and Receivers:draw 20 mA each
RangeOpposed:8 m
Polarized Retroreflective (clear object):100 mm to 2 m, range is specified using one model BRT-3 retroreflector
Diffuse (long range):800 mm
Diffuse (short range):200 mm
Convergent:50 mm
Plastic Fiber Optic:Range varies by sensing mode and fiber optics used
Supply Protection CircuitryProtected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output ConfigurationSolid-state complementary (SPDT) dc switch:NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing), depending on model. The dark operate (DO) output may be wired as a normally open marginal signal alarm output, depending upon hookup to the power supply.
Output Rating150 mA max. each output in standard hookup; when wired for alarm output, the total load may not exceed 150 mA OFF-state leakage current:Less than 1 µA @ 30V dc
Output saturation voltage:less than 1V @ 10 mA dc; less than 1.5V @ 150 mA dc
Output Protection CircuitryProtected against false pulse on power-up, transient voltages, and continuous overload or short circuit of outputs
Output Response TimeResponse time is independent of signal strength. FPY High-Speed Plastic Fiber Optic:100 microseconds ON/OFF
All other:1 milliseconds ON/OFF
Delay at Power-up100 milliseconds; outputs do not conduct during this time.
RepeatabilityRepeatability is independent of signal strength. Opposed:0.13 milliseconds
Retroreflective and Diffuse:0.25 milliseconds
FPY High-Speed Plastic Fiber Optic:25 microseconds
AdjustmentsSENSITIVITY control (single-turn, o-ring sealed potentiometer)
Indicators2 LED Indicators (except Emitters):
Green ON steady:dc power is ON
Green flashing:output overload
Yellow ON steady:light-operate (LO) output is energized
Yellow flashing:marginal excess gain (1-1.5x), LO output is energized
1 LED Indicator (Emitters only):
Green ON steady:power is ON
ConstructionCompletely sealed yellow and black ABS housing, with acrylic lenses. Stainless-steel mounting bracket and M3 mounting hardware are supplied.
Environmental RatingMeets NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 12 and 13; IEC IP67. Housing materials rated UL 94 V-0
ConnectionsPVC-jacketed 4-conductor 2 m or 9 m cables, or 150 mm pigtail with threaded 4-pin Pico-style quick-disconnect fitting. QD cables are ordered separately.
Operating ConditionsTemperature:-20° to +55° C
Relative humidity:90% @ 50° C (non-condensing)
Application NotesTo avoid damage to the sensor caused by static discharge (ESD), use the plastic screwdriver supplied with each sensor (included in the hardware packet) to adjust the SENSITIVITY control. Otherwise, use a screwdriver with an insulated handle.
