Banner Engineering Q45BW13LV Retro-Reflective Sensor

The Banner Engineering Q45BW13LV is a rugged retroreflective photoelectric sensor from the Q45 Series that detects reflective targets at ranges from 0.08 to 9 m (3 in to 30 ft) using a visible red beam at 680 nm. This non-polarized retroreflective model features a 4-wire, isolated SPST solid-state output and a universal power input of 12–250 V DC or 24–250 V AC, with a 2 m (6.5 ft) cable for straightforward wiring. Enclosed in a thermoplastic rectangular housing rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, it is designed for harsh industrial environments, and its retroreflective performance is specified using a BRT-3 3-inch reflector. The Q45BW13LV’s combination of long-range sensing, robust enclosure, and universal power makes it suitable for retroreflective sensing tasks where a reflector is used, with the visible red LED beam aiding alignment during setup and maintenance.
