The DataSensing Q50 Series is a line of compact universal photoelectric sensors housed in a robust 50 × 50 × ~17 mm cubic body designed for versatile object detection in industrial automation and material handling systems. These sensors are engineered to support a wide variety of optical functions including diffuse proximity sensing, background suppression, polarized retro‑reflective detection, and long range through beam operation up to about 20 m depending on model configuration. Universal output options such as NPN/PNP NO+NC or SPDT relay make the series easily adaptable to different control system requirements, while the sensors are protected against electrical damage with short‑circuit and reverse polarity protection built in.
Q50 Series devices are available with either fixed cable or M12 connector connections and generally operate within a 10 – 30 V DC supply range for transistor output models or 12 – 240 V AC/DC for relay output models, providing flexibility for integration into both DC and AC powered applications. With IP67 protection, the sensors can withstand dust and water ingress for reliable performance in tough industrial environments. The series also features clear dual LED indicators for output state and stability/power status to aid in setup and troubleshooting.
