Overview
Banner Q85VR3DL-T9 is a long-range diffuse photoelectric sensor from the Q85 Series, designed for industrial automation and control. This sensor features an infrared LED beam and SPDT electromechanical relay output with integrated timing logic functions. The diffuse detection mode makes it suitable for high-speed applications on conveyor systems, assembly lines, and packaging equipment where object presence and absence sensing is critical.
Key Features
- Diffuse sensing mode with 1 meter (3.3 ft) detection range for flexible object detection
- Universal AC/DC input: 12–240V DC or 24–240V AC power supply compatibility
- SPDT electromechanical relay output with 3A switching capacity
- Timing logic functions (T9 variant) provide delay and pulse control beyond basic ON/OFF operation
- Infrared LED beam for reliable sensing in varied ambient light conditions
- IP67 rated enclosure with NEMA 4X stainless steel or NEMA 1–13 plastic construction options
- Wiring chamber with two conduit entrances for flexible installation and maintenance access
- Light/Dark operate selectable sensing modes
