QS30AF is a key-set adjustable area sensor, with background suppression function, which can detect objects in a specific detection area while ignore objects outside the detection area.
The QS30AF is an adjustable‑area optical sensor that uses a triangulation principle to detect objects within a defined range while ignoring background. It offers dual‑polarity NPN/PNP outputs, an 8‑segment status bar, and a visible red 660 nm light source.
The document provides detailed instructions for background‑suppression, object‑detection, and dynamic settings, as well as wiring, mounting options, and technical parameters such as voltage, response time, and protection features.

Press and hold the '+' button for more than 2 seconds until the indicator flashes, or send a pulse on the teach line to program the setting.
Objects within the area between the minimum detection distance and the programmed cut‑off point are detected; the detection range is approximately 5 % of the total detection distance.
Yes, the QS30AF can be installed through a 30 mm threaded cylinder or from the side, as shown in the mounting diagrams.
The sensor offers a selectable 30 ms OFF‑delay and can be configured for either normally‑open or normally‑closed output.
