DQ12 Series Sensor
(1)
Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-60X40C retroreflector. Actual sensing range may be more or less than specified, depending upon
efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector(s) used.

Models.................................................................................................................................................................................................................. 3
Miniature self-contained photoelectric sensors in a universal housing
Bright, visible red (645 nm) light source
Standard models available with 4-wire, 2 m (6.5 ft) long cable; 150 mm (6 in) PVC-jacketed cable
with a 3-pin M8 male quick-disconnect connector; or a 150 mm (6 in) PVC-jacketed cable with a 4-
pin M8 male quick-disconnect connector
Solid-state, bipolar outputs: one current sourcing (PNP) and one current sinking (NPN) standard on
4-wire models
Single output solid-state PNP or NPN standard on Q3 models
Light Operate (L.O.) or Dark Operate (D.O.), depending on the model
Compact 8 mm (0.31 in) housing mounts almost anywhere
Crosstalk avoidance circuitry for applications with multiple sensors
LED status indicators for Power ON, Signal Received, and Marginal Signal
Advanced ASIC technology makes the sensor resistant to optical and electrical noise sources
WARNING:
Do not use this device for personnel protection
Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on)
or de-energized (off) output condition.
