Specifications - AC Models
Supply Voltage and Current
24 to 250V ac (50/60 Hz);
except for SMA91E, ESR and EF emitters, which oper-
ate from 10 to 250V ac or dc
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against transient voltages
Output Configuration
SPST SCR solid-state relay with either normally closed
or normally open contact (light/dark operate selecta-
ble); 2-wire hookup
Output Rating
Minimum load current 10 mA, max. steady-state load
capability 750 mA to 50° C ambient (122° F), 500 mA
to 70° C ambient (158° F)
Inrush capability: 4 amps for 1 second (non-repeti-
tive)
Off-state leakage: current less than 1.7 mA rms
On-state voltage drop: ≤ 5 volts rms at 750 mA load,
≤ 10 volts rms at 15 mA load
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up
Output Response Time
Receivers only: 8 milliseconds ON and 4 milliseconds
OFF, independent of signal strength.
All other models: 4 milliseconds ON/OFF
OFF time does not include load response of up to 1/2
ac cycle (8.3 milliseconds).
Response time specification of the load should be con-
sidered when total response time is important.
NOTE: millisecond delay on power-up; outputs do not
conduct during this delay.
Repeatability
Opposed and Glass Fiber Optic Emitter-Receiver
pairs: 1.0 millisecond
Retro, Diffuse, Convergent and Glass Fiber Optic
Models: 2.6 milliseconds
Adjustments
Light/Dark Operate select switch and Sensitivity control
potentiometer, both located at rear of sensor
Indicators
Top-mounted red LED indicator lights when output is
conducting.
Model SMA91E and SM91ESR emitters: visible-red
“tracer beam” indicates “Power ON” and enables line-
of-sight alignment.
Construction
Reinforced thermoplastic polyester housing, totally en-
capsulated, molded acrylic lenses and stainless steel
hardware
Environmental Rating
Meets NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 12 and 13
IEC IP66
Connections
PVC-jacketed 2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30') cables or 3-pin
Mini-style (QD) fitting available. See Quick-Disconnect
Cables on page 10.
Operating Conditions
Temperature: -20° to +70° C (-4° to +158° F)
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50° C (non-con-
densing)
Application Notes
1.) 912 Series ac sensors can be destroyed from over-
load conditions.
2.) Use on low voltage requires careful analysis of the
load to determine if the leakage current or on-state
voltage of the sensor will interfere with proper opera-
tion of the load.
3.) The false-pulse protection feature may cause mo-
mentary drop-out of the load when the sensor is wired
in series or parallel with mechanical switch contacts.
