Series Banner - QS18

Banner QS18 Series

The Banner QS18 series is a complete line of industrial photoelectric, laser, and ultrasonic sensors built for real-world automation tasks. Designed for straightforward installation, these sensors run on standard 10 to 30 VDC PNP circuits and come with either a 2-meter cable or a durable M12x1 connector. Whether you are detecting small parts on a conveyor or monitoring levels in a tank, the QS18 line gives you reliable, plug-and-play performance without complex wiring.

Flexible Detection Options for Every Job

You can pick the exact sensor type your project needs. Standard reflective sensors work well for general object detection. Retro-reflective models use a mirror to bounce the signal back, making them ideal for longer distances up to 3.5 meters. If you need to ignore shiny or dark backgrounds, the background suppression models let you set the detection range between 30 and 300 millimeters. Laser versions deliver pinpoint accuracy for small targets, while ultrasonic sensors handle transparent or reflective materials that light-based sensors might miss.

Easy Wiring and Quick Setup

Installation is fast and hassle-free. All QS18 sensors use PNP switching outputs with 10 to 30 VDC power, matching most modern PLCs and control panels. Choose between a pre-terminated 2-meter cable for quick routing or an M12x1 connector for secure, vibration-resistant connections in tight panels. Most models offer both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) contacts, so you can wire them exactly how your system expects them. No extra adapters or complex programming are required.

Built for Harsh Industrial Environments

Factory floors, outdoor enclosures, and wet areas demand sensors that won’t fail. The QS18 series is engineered to handle dust, moisture, and mechanical stress. The compact housing protects internal optics and electronics, while the stable signal output prevents false triggers. Whether you are mounting them on machinery, conveyor frames, or automation panels, these sensors deliver consistent performance day after day.

Why Installers Choose the Banner QS18 Series

The Banner QS18 series cuts down on guesswork and downtime. With a single product line covering reflective, retro-reflective, laser, and ultrasonic detection, you can standardize your inventory and simplify troubleshooting. The straightforward wiring, adjustable ranges, and rugged design make these sensors a smart choice for electrical contractors, automation technicians, and maintenance teams. Upgrade your control panels with reliable detection that installs fast and works right the first time.
