Banner QM30VT2-SS-QP Vibration and Temperature Sensor
Description
A stainless steel Modbus vibration and temperature sensor for rotating equipment
The QM30VT2-SS-QP is the stainless-steel version of Banner Engineering’s QM30VT2 vibration and temperature sensor, with RS-485 Modbus RTU communication and a 150 mm cable ending in a 5-pin M12 male quick-disconnect. It reports RMS velocity, peak acceleration, kurtosis, crest factor, peak velocity component frequency and temperature on two axes, so a PLC or gateway can trend the health of motors, pumps, fans, compressors and gearboxes.
The 316L stainless steel housing carries an IP69K rating per ISO 20653 (the aluminium QM30VT2 versions are IP67), and the sensor can be mounted with an M4 screw, epoxy, thermal tape or a magnetic mount.

What the data is used for
The datasheet includes a vibration severity chart per ISO 10816, which gives guidance for evaluating vibration velocity severity on motors, pumps, fans, compressors, gearboxes, blowers, dryers, presses and other machines operating in the 10 to 1000 Hz range. The Modbus holding registers expose Z-axis and X-axis RMS velocity in either in/s or mm/s, temperature in degrees C or F, plus acceleration, kurtosis and crest factor, with user-configurable aliased addresses that can be read in one Modbus block.
Because condition indicators such as kurtosis and crest factor are published, the sensor can be used for early warning of bearing wear as well as simple overall vibration alarms.
Ordering and installation notes
The four listed models are QM30VT2-SS-9M (9.1 m flying leads) and QM30VT2-SS-QP in 316L stainless steel, and QM30VT2 (2.09 m cable with M12) and QM30VT2-QP in aluminium. Choose the stainless steel body for washdown or corrosive areas. A mating cordset is needed for the QD cable.
Operating the sensor at higher voltages can induce internal heating that reduces accuracy. The datasheet warns that this device must not be used for personnel protection. Please confirm axis orientation, mounting method and Modbus settings before ordering.

About brand
Banner Engineering, founded in 1966 in Minneapolis, USA, makes industrial sensors, indicator lights and machine safety products that show up on packaging lines and conveyors everywhere. Seven Star LLC lists Banner devices including the Q4X rugged stainless steel laser distance sensor and the K50 Pro Beacon IO-Link multicolor RGB indicator, and supplies Banner sensors and indicators to plants and machine builders in Oman.
Banner Q4X and K50 Pro
Banner offers the Q4X in four range versions, all starting at 25 mm: Q4X100 to 100 mm, Q4X300 to 300 mm, Q4X500 to 500 mm and Q4X600 to 600 mm. The series is available with discrete, analog and IO-Link outputs and has a display on the sensor. The K50 Pro Beacon is a status indicator whose color and behavior are set from the controller over IO-Link.
Ordering Banner products: what we need
Send the complete Banner model number from the device label, because range, output type and connector are all coded into it. For the Q4X, state the measuring distance, the output your PLC input needs and the connector or cable style. For indicators, give the housing size, control method and voltage. Mating cordsets and brackets can be included for GCC orders.
