Output Response Time1 millisecond ON/OFF, independent of signal strength
Repeatability200 microseconds, independent of signal strength
Indicators2 LED Indicators:Green and Yellow
Green ON steady:power to sensor is ON
Yellow ON steady:lights when sensor output is conducting (in light condition for light-operate models; in dark condition for dark-operate models)
ConstructionBlack epoxy-painted die-cast zinc housing, polysulfone thermoplastic lens with two through-mounting holes to accommodate M3 (#4) hardware
Environmental RatingIEC IP67; Meets NEMA standards 1, 2, 4, 6 and 13
Connections2 m or 9 m attached PVC cable, or 3-pin Pico-style quick-disconnect fitting. QD cables are ordered separately.
Operating ConditionsTemperature:0° to 50° C
Relative humidity:90% @ 50° C (non-condensing)
Application NoteBe aware that optimum mechanical alignment of Q08 emitter/receiver pairs may not always result in optimum optical alignment. This may be a factor at longer sensing ranges. Once optimum mechanical alignment has been achieved, optical alignment can be optimized by tilting one unit (emitter or receiver) up/down and left/right. Look for center of the movement zone within which the receiver's output remains in the desired output state: ON for light-operate units and OFF for dark-operate units.
