S18 Sensors – ac-Voltage Series
Self-contained, ac-operated sensors
* Standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed.
• 9 m (30') cable: add suffix “W/30” (e.g., S183E W/30).
• 4-pin Micro-style QD models: add suffix “Q1” (e.g., S183EQ1). A model with a QD connector
requires a mating cable.
†
Use polarized models when shiny objects will be sensed.
