Banner Engineering QM42VP6AFV150Q Proximity Sensor

The QM42VP6AFV150Q is Banner Engineering’s QM42 series easy‑mount proximity sensor with an adjustable sensing field from 5 to 150 mm, powered by 10–30 VDC and delivering a SPDT PNP output through a 4‑pin M12 integral quick‑disconnect. Housed in a zinc alloy die‑cast rectangular enclosure, it carries an IP67 rating for rugged industrial use and supports both light and dark operate modes with adjustable background suppression. The sensor emits a 680 nm infrared beam and provides a 1 ms output response time, making it suitable for fast detection on conveyors and other automation equipment. Electrical specs include a 10–30 V DC supply, a 4‑pin PNP SPDT output, and a power‑up delay of about 100 ms. A potentiometer adjusts the field and background suppression, while an acrylic lens and LED indicators convey status. This model is identified as obsolete by Banner Engineering, and Banner recommends contacting them for current replacement options or an approved substitute if ongoing support or compatibility is required.
