WORLD-BEAM QS18 Ultrasonic Sensors
Uses & Applications
Overview
Low-cost ultrasonic sensor in popular WORLD-BEAM housing
- Detects clear or transparent material and color variations
- Senses within a 50 to 500 mm window with a 15 millisecond response time
- Offers wide operating range of -20° to 60° C
- Compensates for variations in air temperature
- Delivers high accuracy in wet or dirty environments
- Available in encapsulated models rated IP67 or IP68 for a range of harsh conditions
- Offers 10 to 30V dc supply voltage with NPN or PNP output, depending on model
- Features push-button TEACH for easy programming at the sensor or remotely
- Includes bright LED operating status indicators visible from 360°
