Banner Engineering S18AW3LP Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering S18AW3LP W/30 Photoelectric Sensor is an epoxy-encapsulated, 18 mm barrel-mount device in Banner's S18 AC Voltage family, featuring polarized retroreflective sensing. It detects targets at up to 2 m and ships with a 30 ft (9 m) potted cable (W/30). Powered from 20–250 VAC at 50/60 Hz, it provides a SPST solid-state output configured for light-operate operation. The rugged epoxy housing protects the electronics in industrial environments, while the compact 18 mm barrel simplifies mounting in tight spaces. The P in the model denotes Polar Retro optics designed to enhance detection of reflective targets, and the 3-wire AC configuration supports simple wiring. With its combination of small form factor, AC power, and a 2 m sensing range, the S18AW3LP W/30 is well-suited for presence/occlusion sensing in automation applications where reliability and easy installation are priorities.
