Overview
The Banner QH23SP6DL-76140 is a compact diffuse photoelectric sensor designed for object detection and proximity sensing in automated manufacturing environments. Operating on 10–30VDC with PNP transistor output, this sensor offers reliable, solid-state detection across a 30–300mm sensing range. The rectangular block body style and visible red light (680nm) beam make it suitable for detecting shiny, dark, clear, and multicolored objects on conveyor systems, packaging lines, and assembly equipment.
Key Features
- Diffuse sensing mode — detects objects by light reflection; no external reflector required
- 30–300mm detection range — adjustable sensitivity via integrated potentiometer
- 10–30VDC input — compatible with standard industrial control power supplies
- PNP complementary output — dual digital outputs for Light-ON and Dark-ON operation modes
- IP67 rated — sealed against dust and water ingress (NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 12, 13)
- Pre-wired 2m cable — terminated with bare-end flying leads for direct integration
- Visible red light indicator — 680nm wavelength for visual beam confirmation
- Compact rectangular housing — thermoplastic body with acrylic lens for durability
