The Banner MIAD9LVAGQ is a compact and durable retroreflective photoelectric sensor designed for dependable performance in demanding automation environments. Combining visible LED optics with a low-voltage DC supply and rugged housing protection, this model is ideal for applications requiring precision, resilience, and ease of setup in space-efficient designs.

A key feature of the MIAD9LVAGQ is its visible red LED sensing beam, which offers two major benefits: accurate and stable detection, and simplified alignment. Unlike infrared beams, the visible red light is clearly seen by operators, making installation quicker and ensuring precise positioning with the reflector. This ease of alignment reduces setup time and helps maintain consistent performance in systems where accuracy is critical, such as packaging, material handling, and assembly lines.

The sensor operates in retroreflective mode, using a reflector to establish a sensing path and detecting objects when they interrupt the beam. This mode provides consistent performance across varying target colours, shapes, and surface finishes, making it more versatile than diffuse sensing. By enabling reliable long-range detection, retroreflective sensors like the MIAD9LVAGQ are ideal for conveyor monitoring, pallet tracking, and part verification applications.

Designed for flexibility in integration, the MIAD9LVAGQ runs on a 5–15 V DC supply, making it particularly well suited for low-voltage systems, mobile equipment, or electronics-based applications where higher supply voltages are not available. This low-voltage compatibility ensures safe operation while still delivering fast response times needed for high-speed automation.

Engineered for durability, the MIAD9LVAGQ is rated IP67 and NEMA 4X, providing complete protection against dust ingress, moisture, and corrosion. These ratings ensure the sensor can withstand washdowns, exposure to oils, or other challenging conditions typically found in industrial facilities. Its rugged build reduces downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and ensures long-term service life.

The housing design of the MIAD9LVAGQ is compact and practical, making it easy to install even in space-constrained environments. Its rugged enclosure maintains stability and alignment in vibration-prone areas, further enhancing reliability. The QD (quick-disconnect) connector design (indicated by the “Q” suffix) simplifies wiring and enables rapid replacement during maintenance, reducing downtime and improving system efficiency.

In practical applications, the MIAD9LVAGQ is well suited for object detection on conveyors, package verification, automated inspection systems, and material handling tasks. Its visible red beam ensures fast setup, while its retroreflective mode and low-voltage compatibility make it versatile for both traditional factory settings and specialised automation environments.

In summary, the Banner MIAD9LVAGQ is a compact, low-voltage retroreflective photoelectric sensor built for accurate and reliable detection. With its visible red LED beam, 5–15 V DC supply, IP67/NEMA 4X rugged protection, and quick-disconnect convenience, it provides a robust and easy-to-use solution for engineers and operators who need precision and durability in demanding automation applications.
