1.2 Overview
Amber LED

(Power Indicator) Push Button
The Banner QS18E sensor is a high performance photoelectric sensor
with IO-link and configurable multifunction input/output. For opposed-
mode models, the receiver has a configurable multifunction input/output
and the emitter has a configurable multifunction input.

1.3 Opposed-Mode Models: Noise and Crosstalk Immunity
Optical synchronization between the emitter and receiver provides ambient light immunity and crosstalk avoidance not
typically available in opposed-mode sensing. The sensor is highly resistant to light detection due to ambient light from high
efficiency light sources or from other light emitting industrial sensors. In addition, there are three user-selectable frequency
channels (A, B, or C) for crosstalk avoidance in side by side sensor mounting. The factory default channel is Frequency A.

2 Installation
2.1 Mount the Device
1. If a bracket is needed, mount the device onto the bracket.
2. Mount the device (or the device and the bracket) to the machine or equipment at the desired location. Do not tighten
the mounting screws at this time.
3. Check the device alignment.
4. Tighten the mounting screws to secure the device (or the device and the bracket) in the aligned position.
2.2 Wiring Diagrams
Follow the wiring diagram that is appropriate for your application.
Opposed-Mode Models: The following wiring diagrams apply to the receivers. The three wiring diagrams that include
remote input apply to the emitters.

3 Sensor Configuration
Configure the sensor using the TEACH or SET methods to define the sensing limits. Use the setup procedure to enable a 30
ms OFF-delay or to change the Light/Dark Operate setting.
Sensing limit configuration options include:
• Two-Point Static TEACH: One switching threshold, determined by two taught conditions
• Dynamic TEACH: One switching threshold, determined by multiple sampled conditions
• Window SET: A sensing window, centered around a single sensing condition
• Light SET and Dark SET: One switching threshold, offset from a single sensing condition
• Opposed-Mode Models: Opaque Mode: One switching threshold set to maximum excess gain
The sensor's output is disabled during all TEACH and SET procedures, and is enabled upon return to Run mode.
See the Input Flowcharts for configuration information.
•Self-contained models:
Figure 9 (p. 9)
• Opposed-mode emitters:
Figure 10 (p. 10)
• Opposed-mode receivers:
Figure 11 (p. 11)
Following any TEACH or SET procedure other than Two-Point Static TEACH, the Output ON condition (Light or Dark
Operate setting) remains as it was last configured. To change that setting, or the OFF-delay setting, see the Input
Flowchart.
Push Button Configuration
Use the push button to configure the sensor. Click the push button according to the Input Flowchart.
Remote Input Configuration
Enable the remote input wire using IO-Link. Use the remote input function to configure the sensor remotely. Connect the
white wire of the sensor as shown in the wiring diagram. Pulse the remote line according to the Input Flowchart.
