DS18 Series Sensors
Datasheet
Miniature self-contained photoelectric sensors in a universal housing
•
•
Multiple mounting options accommodate almost any mounting requirements
Exceptional optical performance, comparable to larger “MINI-style” or barrel
sensors
•
•
Patented wide-beam retroreflective models for enhanced ease of alignment
10 to 30V dc operation, with solid-state complementary NPN or PNP
outputs, light operate or dark operate, depending on model
•
•
•
Bright output LED indicates object is within the sensor’s field of view
Rugged sealed housing with protected circuitry, rated IP67/NEMA 6
All models feature 18 mm threaded barrel and base for easy, versatile
mounting
•
Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable, or 4-pin Euro-style or Pico-style
integral QD fitting or 150 mm (6 in) QD
Patent(s) issued or pending
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix “Q8” (for example, DS186EQ8)
For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD, add suffix “Q7” (for example, DS186EQ7)
For 4-pin Euro-style 150 mm (6 in) pigtail QD, add suffix “Q5” (for example, DS186EQ5)
For 4-pin Pico-style 150 mm (6 in) pigtail QD, add suffix “Q” (for example, DS186EQ)
