Overview
The Banner QS30FF600Q is a high-performance photoelectric sensor from Banner’s WORLD-BEAM QS30 series. This fixed-field sensor delivers reliable object detection with a 600mm sensing range and is rated for 10-30 VDC input. Its bipolar output supports both PNP and NPN wiring configurations, making it adaptable to a wide range of control systems. The sensor features a visible red LED beam at 680nm wavelength for easy alignment and comes pre-equipped with a 5-pin M12 integral quick disconnect connector.
