The Banner Q45VR2D is a robust and versatile AC-powered photoelectric sensor designed for reliable detection in heavy-duty industrial environments. Part of Banner’s proven Q45 family, it combines rugged construction, flexible power compatibility, and infrared LED optics, making it a trusted choice for applications requiring accuracy, resilience, and straightforward integration with line-voltage systems.

This model is equipped with an infrared LED sensing beam, which ensures stable and precise detection across a wide range of targets, including opaque, reflective, and irregularly shaped objects. Infrared technology provides excellent resistance to ambient light interference, such as factory lighting or sunlight, reducing false triggers and ensuring consistent operation. This makes the Q45VR2D well suited for demanding detection tasks in conveyor systems, packaging lines, and material handling operations.

A key advantage of the Q45VR2D is its 90–250 V AC power range, which allows it to connect directly to standard AC line power without the need for external converters. This feature simplifies wiring and installation in facilities that rely primarily on AC-powered equipment, making it an attractive option for both new setups and retrofits. The broad voltage tolerance also provides stability in applications where fluctuations in line voltage may occur.

Engineered for reliability in harsh environments, the Q45VR2D is rated IP67 and NEMA 6P. These ratings ensure complete protection against dust ingress and resilience against temporary water immersion, making the sensor an excellent choice for operations exposed to washdowns, moisture, oils, or debris. The rugged housing design enhances durability, reduces maintenance needs, and extends service life in demanding conditions.

The unit comes with a 2-metre cable, offering flexibility in placement and ensuring secure connectivity to control systems or junction boxes. The fixed cable design minimises potential connection failures, supporting reliable long-term use in environments subject to vibration or frequent handling.

The Q45 housing design is a hallmark of Banner’s sensor line, known for its strength, versatility, and ease of integration. Its rectangular body provides a sturdy mounting platform that resists vibration and misalignment, while also allowing for flexible installation in machine frames, panels, or conveyor structures.

In real-world use, the Q45VR2D is ideal for object presence detection, pallet tracking, packaging verification, and assembly automation. Its AC power compatibility makes it especially valuable in facilities where DC power sources are limited, and where rugged, reliable detection is critical to maintaining efficiency and productivity.

In summary, the Banner Q45VR2D is a durable, accurate, and easy-to-integrate infrared AC photoelectric sensor. With its infrared LED optics, 90–250 V AC supply, IP67/NEMA 6P rugged protection, and 2-metre cable, it delivers the precision, reliability, and environmental toughness needed to thrive in today’s industrial automation environments.
