Banner Engineering Q45BW22CV4Q Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering Q45BW22CV4Q is a rugged, one-piece convergent photoelectric sensor with a 100 mm focal point, a 680 nm visible red beam, and a 90–250 VAC solid-state SPST output. Housed in a 30 mm barrel with an acrylic lens and a 3‑pin Mini Integral QD, the unit accepts 90–250 VAC power and provides reliable on/off switching through a protected solid‑state relay. It’s rated IP67 and meets NEMA 4X, and Banner notes it is designed to withstand up to 1200 psi washdown, making it suitable for demanding wet environments. The Q45BW22CV4Q supports light/dark operate, includes status LEDs, and offers on-board potentiometer adjustments plus timing hold/delay functionality. Operating temperature spans -40 to 70 C with up to 90% relative humidity at 50 C. This model is part of the Q45 Series rugged rectangle sensors, specifically the Convergent family, and is compatible with multiple sensing modes and configurations in the line, including opposed, diffuse, retroreflective, and convergent variants, as well as fiber-optic options. It is ideal for presence/absence detection on conveyors, packaging lines, and automated equipment where a compact, high-reliability AC-powered sensor with integral QD is needed.
