The QS18 Expert family of sensors provides high-performance sensing in a compact package.
The sensors feature a discrete output (NPN or PNP, depending on model), two bright LEDs for
easy status monitoring during configuration and operation, multiple configuration options, remote
configuration, and security lockout options.
The sensor can be configured via any of five TEACH or SET options (by push button or the remote
wire) to define the sensing limits. Then a SETUP procedure may be used to enable a 30 ms OFF-
delay or to change the Light-/Dark-Operate setting (see page 5). Sensing limit configuration options
include:
• Static TEACH: one switching threshold, determined by two taught conditions
• D ynamic (on-the-fly) TEACH: one switching threshold, determined by multiple sampled conditions
• L ight SET and Dark SET: one switching threshold, offset from a single sensing condition (the
• Window SET: a sensing window, centered around a single sensing condition
The sensor’s output is disabled during all TEACH and SET procedures, and is enabled upon return
to RUN mode.
Following any TEACH or SET procedure other than Static TEACH, the Output ON condition (Light-
or Dark-Operate setting) will remain as it was last configured. To change that setting or the OFF-
delay setting, see page 5.
Remote Configuration
Use the remote function to configure the sensor remotely or to disable the push button for security.
Connect the white wire of the sensor to ground (0V dc), through a remote programming switch.
Pulse the remote line according to the diagrams in the configuration procedures. The length of the
individual programming pulses is equal to the value T:
Push Button Enable/Disable
The remote input may be used to disable the sensor push button to prevent unauthorized
adjustment. Connect the white wire of the sensor as described above to perform the procedure
below to either enable or disable the feature.
Returning to RUN Mode without Saving Settings
Static TEACH and SET modes may be exited either after the automatic 60-second time-out, or by
manually exiting the process: press and hold the push button (or hold the remote line low) for 2
seconds. The sensor returns to RUN mode without saving any new settings.
* Initial Output LED condition is simultaneous with Power LED 3-flash.
