Q45BB6 Series Sensors

10 to 30V dc photoelectric sensors with sinking and sourcing solid-state outputs

Printed in USA 09/01 P/N 36578 rev D

NOTES: i) 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., Q456E W/30)

ii) A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see page 10.

Because of their extremely high excess gain, these opposed-mode sensors are an

excellent option for sensing in contaminated or dirty areas, and are also the best

choice for long-range sensing.

Q45BB6 Series The visible red sensing beam of these sensors makes them very easy to align. Model Q45BB6LP polarizes the emitted light and filters out unwanted reflections, making sensing possible in applications otherwise considered unsuited to retroreflective sensing. Performance is specified using the model BRT-3 3" reflector (see the Accessories section of your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog for further information).
PAGE 3
Q45BB6 Series Infrared, 880 nm These diffuse-mode models detect objects by sensing the reflection of their own emitted light. Ideal for use when the reflectivity and profile of the object to be sensed are sufficient to return a large percentage of emitted light back to the sensor. Model Q45BB6DX is the first choice for diffuse-mode applications when there are no background objects to falsely return light.
PAGE 4
Q45BB6 Series These sensors are ideal for reflective sensing of very small parts or profiles, and can accurately sense the position of parts approaching from the side. Will ignore all but highly reflective objects that are outside the sensing range.

Q45BB6 Series Infrared, 880 nm and Visible red, 650 nm These models are an excellent choice for glass fiber optic applications where faster sensor response is not important. Their high excess gain means that opposed individual fibers can operate reliably in many very hostile environments. Also, special miniature bifurcated fiber optic assemblies with bundle sizes as small as .5 mm (.020") dia. may be used successfully for diffuse-mode sensing when using sensor model Q45BB6F(Q).

Q45BB6 Series Lower in cost than glass fiber optics, plastic fiber optics are ideal for use in situations where environmental conditions allow (for example, low levels of acids, alkalis, and solvents). Most are easily cut to length in the field, and are available in a variety of sensing end styles. For more information on compatible plastic fiber optics, refer to your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog.

Q45BB6 Series Q45BB6 Series Indicators and Controls Status indicator LEDs for Power, Signal and Output are clearly visible beneath a raised dome in the sensor’s transparent o-ring-sealed Lexan® cover. The Power indicator lights whenever power is applied to the sensor. The Signal LED lights whenever the sensor sees its modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal; this is the AID™ Alignment Indicating Device*.
