SMA912 Series VALU-BEAMs have solid state outputs and operate from 24 to 130V ac (50/60 Hz). Hookup is three-wire. NOTE: Emitters operate from either 24 to 130V ac or 10 to 30V de. Powerful modulated LED light sources give SMA912 Series VALU-BEAM sensors greater sensing range than competitive units and a high degree of immunity to ambient light. All models are totally epoxy-encapsulated and housed in molded VALOX housings for the ultimate in shock, vibration, moisture, and corro- sion resistance. All WALU-BEAM sensors conform to NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 12, and 13. The output of VALU-BEAM SMA912 Series three-wire ac sensors is a solid-state switch capable of 500 mA (60VA) continuous load (5 amps inrush). See hookup diagrams, page 2. SMA912 Series VALU-BEAM sensors have an easily-visible top- mounted red LED indicator to assist in alignment and system monitoring. SMA912 series sensors have Banner's exclusive, patented* AID system (Alignment Indicating Device), which lights the indicator LED whenever the sensor "sees" its modulated light source, and also pulses the LED at a rate proportional to the received light signal strength. This feature greatly simplifies alignment: in most situations, alignment becomes simply a matter of positioning the sensor for maximum LED pulse rate. Emitters *US patent #4356393 have a visible red "tracer beam" that indicates "power on" and enables easy "line-of-sight" alignment. SMA912 Series sensors offer a choice of light or dark operate in the same sensor, switched via a convenient rear panel control. SMA912 Series sensors may be mounted from either the front or the rear using their two through-mounting holes, or by the outside threads of their base (mounting nut supplied), making them ideal for conveyor and other production line applications. A selection of mounting brackets is available (page 2). The bases of standard VALU-BEAMSs have a 1/2" NPS integral internal conduit thread, and are supplied with a 6-foot PVC-covered cable. Models with a NEMA 4-rated quick-disconnect connector ("QD" models) are also available (page 5).

Mounting Brackets Accessory mounting bracket model SMB900 (left) has curved mounting slots for versatility in mounting and orientation. The sensor mounts to the bracket by its threaded base, using a jam nut and lockwasher (both SMB900 included). The bracket material is 1 1-gauge zinc-plated steel. The curved mounting slots have clearance for 1/4" screws. Model SMB30S swivel-mount bracket (right) offers the ultimate in mounting versatility for WALU-BEAM and other sensors with M30 x 1,5 threads, The VALU-BEAM's base threads into the adjustable captive ball of the bracket, which is then locked in place. Bracket material is black VALOX, and stainless steel mounting hardware is included. Model SMB30C split-clamp bracket (not shown) is a VALOX bracket similar to model SMB30S but without the adjustable ball. It grips the sensor by the sensor's threaded base. Hardware (included) is stainless steel.Sensing Mode - VALU-BEAM SMA912 Series Sensors Models Excess Gain Beam Pattern OPPOSED Mode 8 SMAYIE & SMA9IR Voltage: 24 to 130V ac, ("E": 10-250V ac/dc) Range: 200 feet (60 m) Response: 8ms on/4 off Repeatability: | ms Beam: infrared, $80nm Effective beam: 0.5" dia. 1 =-Fo YoOmMoOxm amroz OPPOSED DISTANCE-FEET Opposed mode sensors have higher excess gain than other models, and therefore should be used whenever possible. The small size of these sensors makes them ideal for many conveyor applications, and their small effective beam size (particularly of the ESR/RSR models) enables them to reliably detect relatively small objects. VWALU-BEAM opposed mode sensors have a visible red "tracer beam" which greatly simplifies sensor alignment. ESR/RSR models have a wide beam angle for very forgiving alignment within the 10 foot range. E/R models have a narrow beam spread and should be used when it is important to minimize optical "crosstalk" between adjacent emitter-receiver pairs at close range in multiple sensor arrays.

AG (anti-glare) models polarize the emitted light and filter out unwanted reflections, making their use possible in applications otherwise unsuited to retroreflective sensing (when reduced excess gain is acceptable). Maximum range with "LV" units is attained when using the model BRT-3 3" corner cube reflector. For details on retroreflective target materials, see the Banner product catalog.

Due to their very narrow depth of field, they excel at detecting small objects only a fraction of an inch away from backgrounds. They are also ideal for some high-contrast color-registration applications. Their visible red sensing beam simplifies alignment.

HF1-2NPS Flexible Cable Protector This black neoprene assembly easily slips over the prewired cable and threads into the base of aVALU-BEAM sensor. The flexible extender prevents sharp cable bends and extends the life of cable that is subject to repeated flexing. The HF1-2NPS includes a neoprene gland that compresses around the VALU-BEAM cable to provide an additional seal against moisture. This flexible conduit protector is resistant to gasoline, alcohol, oil, grease, solvents, and weak acids. It has a working temperature range of -30 to +100C (-22 to +212F). It is UL recognized and CSA certified. The HF1-2NPS also threads into the base of OMNI-BEAM, MULTI-BEAM, MAXI-BEAM, and SM30 Series sensors. It is sold in packages of 10 pieces.
