VS8 Sensor Series
1 Product Description
• Miniature sensor for installation in the smallest of spaces
• Red laser models provide bright, precise laser light spot for optimum small part detection
• High switching frequency for detection in even the fastest processes
• User-friendly operation using electronic push button or remote input provides reliable and precise
detection
• Red laser, Red LED, and Blue LED types available to match sensing beam to application
• Robust, glass-fiber-reinforced plastic housing

• To order the 200 mm (7.8 in) PUR cable model with a 4-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, add suffix "Q" to the model number. For
example, VS8EAPAF70Q. Only available for AF and LAF models.
• To order the 200 mm (7.8 in) PUR cable model with a 3-pin M8/Pico-style quick disconnect, add suffix "Q3" to the model number. For
example, VS8APFF15Q3. Only available for FF models.
• To order the 200 mm (7.8 in) PUR cable model with a 4-pin M12/Euro-style quick disconnect, add suffix "Q5" to the model number. For
example, VS8EAPAF70Q5. Only available for AF and LAF models.

3 Sensor Configuration
•
• 3-pin fixed field and opposed mode emitter models require no user adjustments.
• The remote input wire (pin-2/white wire) is used to select light or dark operate or perform the desired TEACH
3.1 Remote Configuration – 4-Pin Models
The remote input wire (pin-2/white wire) is used to select light or dark operate, or perform the desired TEACH method.
Closing and opening times for the remote input wire correspond to the indicated press/hold durations of the push button.
3.2 Two-Point Static Background Suppression
Two-point TEACH sets a single switch point. The sensor sets the switch point between two taught target distances, relative
to the shifted origin location.
