1 Integral 2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated cable models are listed.
•
To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, Q20E W/30.
•
To order the 4-pin M8/Pico-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q7" to the model number. For example, Q20EQ7.
•
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q" to the model number. For example,
Q20EQ.
•
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q5" to the model number. For
example, Q20EQ5.
•
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PUR cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "QPMA" to the model number. For
example, Q20EQPMA.
•
Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.

Q20 Series Sensor
Overview
Banner’s Q20 family of sensors offers a full complement of
sensing modes, with the excellent performance expected of much
larger sensors. Their compact plastic housings feature
overmolded construction for superior robustness and sealing.
Their popular rectangular design is easy to mount into tight
spaces; integral threaded mounting holes eliminate the need for
separate mounting nuts.
The single-turn Gain potentiometer on most models and bright
LEDs (positioned on top of the housing for 360° visibility) provide
easy alignment and configuration for reliable sensing.

Q20 Series Sensor
Output Configuration for Receiver
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
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:
High ≥ Vsupply – 1 V (≤ 1M Ω)
Low ≤ Vsaturation
Vsaturation ≤ 3 V
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
1.
2.
Opposed mode sensor spacing can be reduced by alternating
emitters and receivers or by applying cross talk filters (visible red
models only)
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.

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:
Green on: Power ON
Amber on: Black (LO) wire conducting
Amber flashing: Marginal excess gain (1 to 1.5×)
Black (LO) wire conducting
