But I hit the same issue as Connor wrote about above as I built one of these this week. In short, the wiring diagram for the QS18VN6D sensor is incorrect. The only thing wrong in the original picture is the connection between the black wire from the strobe light and the blue wire from the sensor. Those should not be connected to each other.
So to be clear, the following should be connected:
o The blue sensor wire to the black transformer wire.
o The brown sensor wire to the red strobe light wire and the red transformer wire.
o The black sensor wire to the black strobe light wire.
o The white sensor wire is not connected to anything.
Again, apologies for bringing this back up. Just trying to help anyone else that finds this thread. I have tested this and it is correct.
Thanks,

Yea its really annoying that SMC wont let you go back and edit a post past a certain time period. I would go back and fix that drawing. There was supposed to be a little hump over the Blue wire for the NPN setup.
If at first you don't succeed, redefine success!
