Banner Engineering Q40AW3LPQ1 Photoelectric Sensor

The Banner Engineering Q40AW3LPQ1 Photoelectric Sensor is a polarized retro-reflective EZ-BEAM device in the Q40 Series built for harsh environments, delivering reliable presence sensing with a 6 m maximum range and a visible red LED sensing beam for quick alignment. It operates on AC power from 20–250 VAC at 50/60 Hz and draws about 300 mA, with IP69K ingress protection and NEMA 6P enclosure rating for high-pressure washdown and rugged factory floors. The output is SPST solid-state and light-operated, and the unit features an integral four-pin Quick-Disconnect (QD) connection; the Q1 designation indicates the 4-pin Euro-style QD variant. Typical applications include packaging lines, conveyors, and other automated systems where rugged, reliable object detection is required in challenging environments.
