WORLD-BEAM QS18
Miniature self-contained photoelectric sensors in universal housing
• Easily fits (or retrofits) almost any mounting situation
• Exceptional optical performance, comparable to larger “MINI-style” or barrel sensors
• 10 to 30V dc operation, with complementary (SPDT) NPN or PNP outputs, depending on
model
• Bright LED operating status indicators are visible from 360°
• Rugged sealed housing, protected circuitry
• Models available with or without 18 mm threaded “nose”
• Less than 1 millisecond output response for excellent sensing repeatability
• Choose 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cable or 150 mm (6 inch) Pico-style pigtail QD

¹ Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number.
QD Models.
For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix “Q8” (e.g., QS186EQ8). For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD, add suffix “Q7” (e.g.,
QS186EQ7). For 4-pin 150 mm (6") Euro-style pigtail, add suffix “Q5” (e.g., QS186EQ5). For 4-pin 150 mm (6") Pico-style pigtail, add
suffix “Q” (e.g., QS186EQ).

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious
injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its
use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-
energized sensor output condition.
