Divergent models are useful for sensing small items and translucent or transparent materials at close range.The SME312DV sensors effectively sense specular surfaces like smi-conductor wafers, disk drive media, glass and machined surfaces. The collimated optics of the SME312DV also permits the sensor to be mounted against clear container walls, view ports and other types of optical "feed-throughs."

Website: http://www.baneng.com * Tel: 763.373.6767 page 7 MINI-BEAM Expert TM Series Using the MINI-BEAM Expert RUN Mode Normal operation of the MINI-BEAM Expert is called RUN mode. The two LED indicators (bi-color Green/Red and Yellow) operate as follows in RUN Mode: Green (RUN Mode): ON steady whenever power is applied Flashes as received light level approaches the switching threshold (stability indicator). (The stability indicator signals when maintenance, realignment, or reprogramming is needed during RUN mode.) Yellow (Output): ON when the outputs are energized (conducting) OFF when the outputs are de-energized (not conducting) If contrast is marginal, the bi-color indicator will flash green (to indicate instability). Reprogramming or realigning the sensor, or cleaning the sensor or fiber lenses may solve a problem with stability. Figure 1. MINI-BEAM Expert Series indicators TEACH Mode Programming of the MINI-BEAM Expert - setting the sensitivity and selecting output ON and OFF conditions - is performed in TEACH mode. Determining the Output ON and OFF Conditions The two sensing conditions may be presented in either order. The condition presented first is the condition for which the output will energize (the "Output ON" target). Setting Sensitivity Sensitivity is automatically set (and optimized) when teaching the sensor the ON and OFF conditions. When the push button is clicked, the sensor samples each sensing condition and registers it into memory. After the second sensing condition is registered, the MINI-BEAM Expert automatically sets the sensitivity to the optimum value for the application, and then returns to RUN mode. The two LED indicators (bi-color Green/Red and Yellow) operate as follows in TEACH Mode: Red (TEACH Mode): Lights when the sensor "sees" its modulated light source; pulse rate is proportional to the received light signal strength during TEACH programming Yellow (Output): ON to indicate TEACH output ON condition OFF to indicate TEACH output OFF condition The Signal Strength indicator is Banner's exclusive AIDTM (Alignment Indicating Device). Its pulse rate increases as the received light signal strength increases (during programming). This feature simplifies accurate alignment during TEACH mode, and gives a relative indication of sensing contrast between the light and dark conditions. page 8 Banner Engineering Corp. * Minneapolis, U.S.A.

Resulting Indicator Status Yellow: ON Red: Pulses to indicate relative received signal strength. Push and Hold 2 Seconds TEACH Condition #1 (Output ON state) Present the first sensing condition to the sensor and single-click. Sensing Condition #1 (Output ON State) Single-Click TEACH Condition #2 (Output OFF state) Present the second sensing condition to the sensor and single-click. Sensing Condition #2 (Output OFF State) Single-Click Yellow: OFF Red: Pulses to indicate relative received signal strength. If contrast is acceptable, the sensor returns to RUN mode, otherwise it will return to TEACH Condition #1. Green: ON (or flashes if signal is close to the switching threshold). Yellow: OFF, until the sensing condition changes. NOTE: The sensor will return to RUN mode if the first TEACH condition is not registered within 90 seconds. TEACH mode may be cancelled before either condition #1 or #2 by holding the push button depressed for 2 seconds. A Note About the "Clicks": Clicks are meant to be pressed firmly, then quickly released. Indicators go ON or OFF after a brief delay; do not wait until LEDs change status before releasing push button. (If push button is pressed for 2 seconds or longer, sensor will automatically return to RUN mode.) Remote Programming The gray wire of the MINI-BEAM Expert may be connected to a remote switch or process controller to disable or enable the push button or to program the sensor through TEACH mode. A remote programming switch is connected between the gray wire and dc common (see hookup diagrams on page 11). The switch may be either a normally-open contact, or an open-collector NPN transistor with its emitter connected to dc common. 0.04 sec < T < 0.8 sec T SinglePulse Input Programming is accomplished using a specified sequence of input pulses. The duration of each pulse is defined as: 0.04 seconds < T < 0.8 seconds. Wait > 0.8 seconds before next input T T T T The required spacing between adjacent pulses in a sequence (a "four-pulse") is also: 0.04 < T < 0.8 seconds.

This is the equivalent of a "click" when using the sensor TEACH push button. 1. Position the "Output ON" condition and pulse the Remote TEACH line once. The bicolor (green/red) indicator begins to flash red or turn OFF (the AID function is indicating signal strength) and the yellow Output indicator will flash briefly and then go OFF. 2. Position the "Output OFF" condition and pulse the Remote TEACH line again. The green indicator will turn ON and the sensor will return to RUN mode with the new settings, if the contrast is adequate. If the contrast is not adequate, the yellow indicator will turn ON and the red AID indicator will remain active, indicating that the sensor is waiting for the first TEACH condition to be retaught. (RUN mode begins a few seconds after the end of TEACH mode.) NOTE: To exit TEACH mode without updating, hold the Remote TEACH line low (longer than 2 seconds) until the green indicator goes ON, before teaching the second target. Locking Out (Disabling) the Push Button When remote programming is used exclusively, it may be beneficial to disable the push button on the MINI-BEAM Expert to increase the security of the settings. The push button can be enabled and/or disabled via the remote line only. If the push button is disabled, TEACH mode cannot be accessed from the push button. Pulse the Remote TEACH line 4 times (four-pulse) to enable or disable the push button (see timing diagram, Figure 2). Troubleshooting The MINI-BEAM Expert's Power LED may begin to alternate flashing red/green; this indicates a microprocessor memory error. If it occurs, try reteaching the sensor, or try cycling power ON and OFF, then reteaching the sensor. If this does not solve the problem, or if it occurs frequently, replace the sensor. page 10 Banner Engineering Corp. * Minneapolis, U.S.A.

See your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog for complete information on available models. Polarized sensors require corner cube type retroreflective targets only. Sensing range will vary, according to the efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector(s) used. For these lowcontrast applications, the model BRT-2X2 (2" x 2") reflector is recommended, and one is bundled with each SME312LPC(QD) sensor. * For applications that involve high levels of vibration, the model BRT-36x40BM, with its microprism geometry, is recommended. * For long-range applications, the BRT-77X77C reflector provides a range up to 2 m (6.5'). * SME312LPC(QD) are for use with corner cube type reflectors only; reflective tape is not recommended. * For clear object detection (low-contrast applications), the model BRT-2x2 reflector is recommended. Before installling retroreflective tape, clean the surface with an isopropyl alcohol wipe.
