WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or
death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized
sensor output condition.

To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, QS186E W/30.
To order the 4-pin M12/Euro-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q8" to the model number. For example, QS186EQ8.
To order the 4-pin M8/Pico-style integral quick disconnect model, add the suffix "Q7" to the model number. For example, QS186EQ7.
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q5" to the model number. For
example, QS186EQ5.
To order the 150 mm (6 in) PVC cable model with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, add the suffix "Q" to the model number. For example,
QS186EQ.
Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset.
