Banner Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor Barrel Style 6 m Detection Range PNP Output IP67/IP68/IP69K Rated T18-2VPLPC-Q8

Banner T18-2VPLPC-Q8 retroreflective photoelectric sensor features a barrel-style sensor with a 6 meter detection range and robust PNP output, specifically engineered for demanding industrial environments requiring precise object detection and control.

This sensor family is housed in a compact, right-angle 18 mm threaded barrel, constructed using chemically resistant epoxy encapsulated plastics designed to withstand frequent wash-downs and harsh thermal shock conditions typical in food and beverage processing industries. The plastic ultrasonic weld joints with redundant sealed electronics provide enhanced reliability under wet and thermal stress.

The sensor's red LED light source offers a high intensity visible beam to ease alignment and setup efforts in factory or machine integration. Permanent laser etched product markings ensure the sensor identification remains intact despite frequent cleaning cycles.

With ingress protection ratings IP67, IP68, and IP69K, the unit is engineered for resistance to dust, immersion, and high-pressure washdowns, making it suitable for hygienic and industrial environments. Its wide operating temperature range from -40 °C to +70 °C (-40 °F to +158 °F) allows deployment in extremely cold to hot conditions without performance loss.

The sensor supports a 4-pin terminal type and includes a flange mount for easy and secure installation. Rated maximum voltage is 30 V DC with a maximum current of 16 mA. The advanced ASIC technology inside reduces susceptibility to optical and electrical noise, ensuring accurate and stable detection performance in noisy industrial settings.

Typical applications include industrial automation, food and beverage manufacturing, packaging, material handling, and process control systems requiring reliable presence detection.

The product originates from Mexico and meets CE, cULus, and ECOLAB standards to comply with international quality and safety requirements. Compact and durable barrel housing. Robust epoxy encapsulated plastic for wash-down safety.

Powerful visible red LED light source. Wide temperature and IP rating range for harsh environments. Laser-etched markings for lasting identification. Advanced ASIC noise resistance technology. Flange mount with 4-pin terminal wiring.
