Q85s are compact, economical, infrared diffuse (proximity)
mode photoelectric sensors in rugged NEMA-6P rated ABS
housings.
similar applications. The timing logic functions offered in the
"T9" models provide additional control capabilities over and
above the basic model's ON/OFF (no delay) function. All Q85
sensors feature a convenient wiring chamber with two conduit
entrances for ease of connection, positioning, and mounting.
Sensing range is 39 inches (1 meter), referenced to a 90% re-
flectance white test card.
Q85 Series sensors operate from either 24-240V ac or 12-240V
dc and draw 2 watts maximum. They have SPDT electrome-
chanical relay output, and are available with a choice of either
ON/OFF or programmable timing output logic. Models with
programmable timing logic ("T9" models) provide eight switch-
selectable logic functions: ON/OFF (no delay), ON delay, OFF
delay, ON/OFF delay, one-shot (pulse), on-delayed one-shot,
limit timer, and on-delayed limit timer. The adjustable time
range for delay functions and pulse length is 0.1 to 5 seconds
(see page 2). All models feature a
precise adjustment of sensing gain.
Two top-mounted LED indicators are provided, and are visible
through a window in the wiring chamber's gasketed cover. A red
indicator (Banner's exclusive, patented AID™ system*) lights
whenever the sensor "sees" the reflection of its own modulated
light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength
of the received light signal. A yellow output indicator lights
whenever the Q85's output is energized.
Q85 Series sensors have rugged yellow Cycolac
with ultrasonically-welded acrylic lenses. A gasketed ABS cover
protects the wiring chamber and the timing and sensitivity ad-
justment controls inside. Two 1/2-14 NPSM conduit entrances
are provided, and a plug and gasket are included for a possible
unused entrance. Q85 Series sensors are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3,
3S, 4, 4X, 6, 6P, 12, and 13 (IEC IP67). An 11-gauge plated
steel mounting bracket and two plated mounting bolts and nuts
(see photo above and drawing on page 2) are included.

maximum). No polarity for power supply hookup.
Models and Output Configurations:
Output relay specifications:
Maximum switching power (resistive load): 90W, 750VA. Install
transient suppressor (MOV) across contacts that switch inductive
loads. Maximum switching voltage (resistive load): 250V ac or 30V
dc. Maximum switching current (resistive load): 3A.
Minimum voltage and current: 5V dc, 10 mA.
Mechanical life: 50,000,000 operations.
Electrical life at full resistive load: 100,000 operations.
Maximum switching speed: 25 operations per second.
Closure time (no timing logic in use): 20 milliseconds max.
Release time (no timing logic in use): 20 milliseconds max.
Repeatability (no timing logic in use): 1 millisecond.
All sensors are protected against false pulse on power-up. (False pulse
protection circuit causes a 100 millisecond delay on power-up.)
Adjustments:
potentiometer, accessible beneath the ABS wiring chamber cover (T9
models also have a light/dark operate switch). Timing logic (T9 models
only) is configured at a DIP switch. Pulse length and delay are set by a
single-turn potentiometer (accessible under the wiring chamber cover).
The adjustable time range for both functions is 0.1 to 5 seconds; both
functions are automatically set to the same value.
Status Indicators:
Red AID™ system (Alignment Indicating Device, US patent #4356393)
indicator LED lights whenever the sensor "sees" its own modulated light,
and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the light signal.
Yellow indicator lights whenever the sensor's output is energized.
