* Only standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed above. For other cable/connector options:

• 9 m cables: add suffix “W/30” to the model number (e.g., VS1AN5CV10 W/30).

• 150 mm (6") pigtail with threaded 3-pin Pico-style QD: add suffix “Q” to the model number (e.g., VS1AN5CV10Q).

A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see Quick-Disconnect (QD) Cordsets on page 5.

VS1 Series

Overview

VS1 Series miniature self-contained sensors are designed for precision sensing in small areas previously accessible
only to remote or fiber optic models.Typical applications include mounting inside vibrating feeders and electronic
component handling equipment, where larger sensors will not fit.

The sensing energy of a convergent-mode sensor is concentrated at the specified f ocus point (see Models on page

1). Convergent-mode sensors are less sensitive to background reflections, compared with diffuse-mode sensors.
Contact the factory if background reflections are a problem.

Installation Notes

Included with each sensor is a hardware packet containing two stainless
steel M2 x 0.4 x 16 mm Phillips pan-head machine screws, flat washers, loc k
washers, and hex nuts.To mount the sensor, use the supplied flat washer
against the front surface of the sensor housing, between it and the screw
head. If mounting to one of the optional brackets, place the lock washer
against the back of the bracket, followed by the nut. If mounting directly to
a threaded hole, place the lock washer between the scre w head and the flat
washer (see Figure 1).

For best results, mount the VS1 where it is protected from moisture, high
humidity and dirt.

WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so

could lead to serious injury or death

This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor f ailure or malfunction can cause either an energiz ed or denergized sensor output condition.
Consult your Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products that meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for
personnel protection.
