WORLD-BEAM Q20 Series Sensor
Output Configuration for Receiver
Connections
100 mA with short circuit protection
OFF-state leakage current:
NPN: < 200 µA sinking (see Application Note 2);
PNP: < 10 µA sourcing
ON-state saturation voltage
2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) 4-wire PVC cable, 150 mm (6 in) cable with 4-pin
threaded M8/Pico-style (Q) or M12/Euro-style (Q5) connector, or 4-pin
integral threaded M8/Pico-style connector (Q7), depending on the model
ordered
Indicators
Two LED Indicators: Power (green) and Output (amber)
Fixed-Field models:
Green on: Power ON
Amber on: Black (LO) wire conducting
All other models:
NPN: < 1.6 V at 100 mA
PNP: < 3.0 V at 100 mA
Output Configuration for all Other Models
Maximum Current ≤ 100 mA
PNP Output Voltage:
High ≥ Vsupply – Vsaturation
Low ≤ 1 V (≤ 1M Ω)
NPN Output Voltage:
Green on: Power ON
Amber on: Black (LO) wire conducting
Amber flashing: Marginal excess gain (1 to 1.5×)
Black (LO) wire conducting
High ≥ Vsupply – 1 V (≤ 1M Ω)
Low ≤ Vsaturation
Vsaturation ≤ 3 V
Adjustments
Diffuse, Retroreflective, and Polarized Retroreflective models (only):
Single-turn Sensitivity (Gain) adjustment potentiometer
Output Response Time
Opposed mode: 1 millisecond ON/600 microseconds OFF
All other models: 850 microseconds ON/OFF
100 millisecond delay on power-up; outputs do not conduct during this time
Applications Notes
Required Overcurrent Protection
1. Opposed mode sensor spacing can be reduced by alternating
emitters and receivers or by applying cross talk filters (visible red
models only)
2. For receiver only: NPN off-state leakage current is <200 µA for load
resistances > 3kΩ or optically isolated loads. For load currents of
100 mA, leakage is <1% of load current.
WARNING: Electrical connections must be
made by qualified personnel in accordance
with local and national electrical codes and
regulations.
Overcurrent protection is required to be provided by end product
application per the supplied table.
Overcurrent protection may be provided with external fusing or via Current
Limiting, Class 2 Power Supply.
Supply wiring leads < 24 AWG shall not be spliced.
