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 deenergized sensor output condition.

WORLD-BEAM® Q12 Series Sensors
Indicator Features
1. Yellow and Green LEDs
• Green ON steady: power to sensor is ON
• Green flashing: output is overloaded
• Yellow ON steady: received signal
• Yellow flashing: marginal signal
Chemical-Resistant models: LEDs are visible through translucent PFA jacket. Rated to 1200 psi washdown.
Opposed-mode Q12 sensors (standard models only) may be fitted with apertures to narrow or shape the sensor’s effective beam to more
closely match the size or profile of the objects being sensed. A common example is the use of “line” (or “slot”) type apertures to sense
thread.
NOTE: The use of apertures will reduce the sensing range (see table below).
