Features
• Easily fits (or retrofits) almost any mounting situation
• Exceptional optical performance, comparable to larger “MINI-style” or barrel
sensors
• 10 to 30V dc operation, with complementary (SPDT) NPN or PNP outputs,
depending on model
• Bright LED operating status indicators are visible from 360°
• Rugged sealed housing, protected circuitry
• Models available with or without 18 mm threaded “nose”
• Less than 1 millisecond output response for excellent sensing repeatability
• Choose 2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30') cable or 150 mm (6") Pico-style pigtail QD

* Only standard 2m (6.5') cable models are listed. For 9 m (30') cable, add suffix “W/30” to the model number (e.g., QS186E W/30).
QD models:
• For 4-pin integral Euro-style QD, add suffix “Q8” (e.g., QS186EQ8). • For 4-pin 150 mm (6") Euro-style pigtail, add suffix “Q5” (e.g., QS186EQ5).
• For 4-pin integral Pico-style QD, add suffix “Q7” (e.g., QS186EQ7). • For 4-pin 150 mm (6") Pico-style pigtail, add suffix “Q” (e.g., QS186EQ).

1) Locate the “control end” of the fiber (the unfinished end). Determine the length of
fiber required for the application. If using a bifurcated fiber, separate the two halves Use small ports Use large ports
of the fiber at least 2" beyond the fiber cutting location. Lift the top (blade) of the for fiber sizes: for fiber sizes:
cutter to open the cutting ports. Insert one of the control ends through one of the • 0.25 mm (0.01") • 0.75 mm (0.03")
cutting ports on the PFC-1 cutter so that the excess fiber protrudes from the back of • 0.5 mm (0.02") • 1.0 mm (0.04")
the cutter. • 1.5 mm (0.06")
2) Double-check the fiber length, and close the cutter until the fiber is cut. Using a Figure 1. PFC-1 plastic fiber cutter
different cutting port, cut the second control end to the required length. To ensure a (supplied with fiber)
clean cut each time, do not use a cutting port more than once.

3) Gently wipe the cut ends of the fiber with a clean, dry cloth to remove any
contamination. Do not use solvents or abrasives on any exposed optical fiber.
