Banner Engineering Q406EQ Photoelectric Emitter

The Banner Engineering Q406EQ is an EZ-BEAM Q40 Series photoelectric emitter designed for long-range, harsh-environment sensing. It delivers a fixed infrared light beam up to 60 m (196.85 ft) in opposed-mode configurations and operates on 10–30 V DC with a 4-pin M12 integral quick-disconnect connector. Built with a thermoplastic housing and a polycarbonate lens, it carries IP67 and IP69K ratings (NEMA 4X) for washdown-ready durability, and it is encapsulated with ECOLAB certification. Key operating specs include a -40°C to 70°C range, a 100 ms power-up delay, and humidity tolerance up to 90% at 50°C. As the emitter in a through-beam pair, it pairs with a matching receiver to detect interruptions in the beam for accurate object detection on production lines.
