Banner Engineering Q45BB6LVQ Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering Q45BB6LVQ Photoelectric Sensor is a rugged retroreflective rectangular device in the Q45 Series, designed for reliable object detection at distances up to 9 m using a visible red beam. It operates on 10–30 V DC and provides bipolar outputs (1 NPN and 1 PNP) through a 4-pin Mini integral quick disconnect, enabling straightforward wiring in tight spaces. Built for harsh environments, the sensor carries an IP67/NEMA 4X enclosure rating and uses a thermoplastic housing with a 30 mm barrel diameter and an acrylic lens, compatible with a wide range of industrial settings. Key electrical and optical specs include a sensing beam wavelength of 680 nm, a sensing range of 0.08–9 m, light/dark operate capability, and a response time of 2 ms with a 100 ms delay at power-up; repeatability is 500 µs. The device tolerates temperatures from -40 °C to 70 °C and includes a potentiometer adjustment for field tuning. It is not intrinsically safe, and does not feature remote teach or built-in water detection. This model is suited to retroreflective sensing tasks in automation environments, such as presence/absence checks on conveyors and packaging lines where a compact, durable sensor with dual outputs can be integrated into existing control schemes.
