Q45AD9 NAMUR Series Sensor: Datasheet
Datasheet
No revision without agency approval.
• Designed for use with approved amplifiers and intrinsically safe barriers in
explosive environments
• NAMUR compliant sensor with the rugged design and exceptional optical
performance of Q45 series sensors
• Output passes ≤ 1.2 mA in the “dark” condition and ≥ 2.1 mA in the “light”
condition
• Internal multi-turn SENSITIVITY (Gain) control accessible beneath hinged, o-ring
sealed top cover
• Models are available with an integral cable or a quick-disconnect connector
• Supply voltage: 5 to 15 V dc
Models
Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number
(Q459E W/30). Models with a QD connector require a mating cable (see Accessories list).
Retroreflective Models
Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-3 P retroreflector (3-inch diameter). Actual sensing range may be more or less
than specified, depending upon the efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector(s) in use.
Non-Polarized Models Cable Performance Output Type
Diffuse Models
Performance curves are based on a 90% reflectance white test card.
Convergent Models
Convergent mode models operate at 680 nm, visible red. Performance curves are based on a 90% reflectance white test card.

Overview
The Q45AD9 Series NAMUR Sensor is a rugged, self-contained two-wire sensor designed for use with certified intrinsically safe switching
amplifiers and barriers (Approved Apparatus) with intrinsically safe circuits.
The Q45AD9 Series NAMUR sensor is designed in accordance with DIN 19234 (IEC/EN 60947-5-6) for operation via two-wire connection
to an Approved Apparatus controlled by the variable internal resistance of the sensor.
The sensor varies the impedance across the sensor output, which passes 1 mA or less in the "dark" condition and 2 mA or more in the
"light" condition. A highly visible red LED indicator is located beneath a raised transparent dome on top of the sensor.
• SIGNAL—LED lights red when the sensor sees its modulated light source
• POWER (Emitters only)—LED lights red when 5 to 15 V dc power is applied
Multi-turn sensitivity control on top of sensor, beneath a transparent cover, allows precise sensitivity setting (turn clockwise to increase
gain).
Models are available with either a 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) long attached PVC-covered cable, or a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick
disconnect (QD) connector. Quick disconnect models (with Q in the model number suffix) use MQD9-4.. mating cable (either straight or
right angle connector; see Accessories on page 9). Contact Banner Engineering for the availability of sensor models with 9 m (30 ft)
long attached cable.
Installation Instructions
Ex/HazLoc Applications
WARNING:
• Explosive Atmospheres/Hazardous Locations
• The user has the responsibility to ensure that all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations
relating to the installation and use of this Banner device in any particular application are satisfied. This
Banner device must be installed by Qualified Persons, in accordance with this document and applicable
regulations.
• A Qualified Person is a person who, by possession of a recognized degree or certificate of professional
training, or who, by extensive knowledge, training and experience, has successfully demonstrated the
ability to solve problems relating to the subject matter and work.
WARNING:
• Explosion Hazard
• Do not disconnect equipment unless the power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-
hazardous.
• Intrinsic safety ground, if required for the Associated Apparatus, shall be less than 1 ohm.
• Maximum connector torque: 6 ft-lbs.
Wiring Connections
Q45AD9 Series NUMAR sensors are intrinsically safe ONLY when used with certified intrinsically safe switching amplifiers and barriers
(Approved Apparatus) with intrinsically safe circuits. Banner does not manufacture such devices; however, our applications engineers
can refer you to suppliers of certified devices that will interface with Banner sensors.
The user is responsible for proper installation and maintenance of this equipment, and must conform with the certification
requirements relating to barriers and to maximum allowable capacitance and inductance of the field wiring. If in doubt about these
requirements, our applications engineers can refer you to the appropriate authority.
