LR250 & PT250 Opposed Mode Remote Sensor Pair The LR250 emitter and PT250 receiver are compact, totally-encapsulated opposed mode remote sensors whose 1/4" diameter smooth barrel design and excellent operating characteristics make them ideal for many sensing applications. Mounting and alignment are extremely simple, due to these sensors' wide field of view. The LR250 and PT250 may be mounted through a 1/4" (6,4mm) clearance hole and held in place by a setscrew, or in a model SMB250 mounting block. LR/PT250 series sensors are fully encapsulated, and have hermetically sealed lenses to eliminate internal condensation. Units may be washed down without damage. Identical optical performance in different housing styles is available in models LR/PT200, 300, and 400 (see Banner product catalog). The minimum object size required to break the beam of the LR250/PT250 opposed mode sensor pair is 1/8-inch. These sensors are designed for use with Banner MICRO-AMP(R) system MA3-4 and MA3-4P modulated amplifiers, MAXI-AMPTM system CM Series modulated amplifiers, and MB Series amplifiers. EXCESS GAIN CURVE Specifications, LR250 & PT250 RANGE: up to 8 feet in opposed mode (see gain curve) EFFECTIVE BEAM: 0.14 inch (3.6 mm) diameter RESPONSE SPEED: a function of the amplifier (see below) OPERATING TEMPERATURE: -40 to +100 C (-40 to +212 F) EMITTER CHARACTERISTICS (LR250): infrared LED, 880nm CONSTRUCTION: totally encapsulated, hermetically sealed lenses. Delrin(R) housing; NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13. CABLE: sensors are supplied with 6' of PVC-covered cable. 30' cables are available by special order. BEAM PATTERN Wiring rules: 1) Avoid running remote sensor cables in wireways together with power-carrying conductors. 2) Avoid running remote sensor cables through areas of known extreme electrical interference (electrical "noise"). 3) Always use shielded cables and only connect the shield ("drain") wire at the amplifier. 4) When splicing, never combine emitter and receiver wires into a common cable. (The result will be electrical "crosstalk" within the cable, which causes a "lock-on" condition of the amplifier.) Hookup to MB Series Amplifiers Banner remote sensors will connect to any MB Series amplifier. The model MRB chassis (shown) has octal sockets for the amplifier and a BR-2 relay (supplied) and provides power for the sensors and amplifier. Up to four sensor pairs may be connected to one amplifier for light-operated OR or dark operated AND operation. In multiple-sensor hookups, receivers are wired in parallel and emitters are connected in series (see example for CM Series modules, next page). Several MB Series amplifiers are available. Each provides a different output logic function. Chassis models with additional octal sockets are also available. Other types of output devices, including solid state relays, may be ordered (see Banner catalog). Specifications, MB Series Amplifiers POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT: 12-18V dc at less than 100mA, exclusive of load. OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: open collector NPN transistor; maximum on-state current 250mA, maximum off-state leakage current 100 microRESPONSE SPEED: 1 millisecond ON and OFF. MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 100 feet (30m) maximum; use separate shielded cables for emitter and reciever. OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0 to +50C (+32 to +122 F). Printed in USA P/N 03389C4B Hookup to MAXI-AMPTM CM Series Modules CM Series modules combine power supply, modulated photoelectric amplifier, timing logic (CM5 models), and output relay in a single compact module. Only an 11-pin relay socket (Banner model RS-11) is needed to complete the system. The CM Series contains models with or without programmable timing logic and with either electromechanical or solid-state relay outputs. See the Banner product catalog for further in formation. Up to three sensor pairs may be connected to each amplifier. Light- operated OR logic (input to module occurs whenever at least one receiver To a Single Sensor Pair sees "light") or dark-operated AND logic (input to module occurs when all receivers simultaneously see "dark") is possible. NOTE: to power the MAXI-AMP from a DC power supply, connect +12 to 18V dc at 70mA to terminal #3 and DC common to terminal #1. Make no connections to terminal #7 or #8. To Multiple Sensor Pairs When wiring two sensors to one MAXI-AMP, multiply excess gain data (from excess gain curve) for each sensor by 1/2; when wiring three sensors to one MAXI-AMP, multiply excess gain by 1/3. Specifications, MAXI-AMP CM Series Modules RESPONSE SPEED: programmable for 10, 2, or 0.3 milliseconds (10 millisecond setting enhances noise rejection). MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 50' (15m) maximum. To avoid "cable crosstalk", use separate shielded cable for emitter and receiver, or order sensors with extended cable length. OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0 to +50 degrees C (+32 to +122 degrees F). Hookup to MICRO-AMP(R) Modules MICRO-AMP amplifier module models MA3-4 and MA3-4P may be used with this sensor pair. Model MA3-4 has complementary current sinking outputs. Model MA3-4P has complementary current sourcing outputs. Model MA3-4 (but not model MA3-4P) may be powered by the model MPS-15 power supply, as shown in the hookup diagram (right). The MPS-15 includes a socket for the MA3-4 and has a built-in SPDT output relay (switchable by the MA3-4 module). MICRO-AMP modules may also be mounted in the model RS8 wiring socket and powered from a "remote" power supply. PVC mounting track is available in 6" and 12" lengths to accommodate multiple MICRO-AMP system components. NOTE: only one pair of LR/PT250s may be connected to each amplifier. Specifications, MICRO-AMP MA3-4 and MA3-4P POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT: 10-30V dc at less than 20mA; 10% maximum ripple (obtainable from MPS-15 power supply--see above). OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: model MA3-4 has two open-collector NPN (current sinking) transistor solid state switches, one normally open, one normally closed. 150mA max. each output. Model MA3-4P has two PNP (sourcing) outputs, 150mA max. each. RESPONSE SPEED: 1 millisecond ON and OFF. MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 30' (9m). OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: -40 to +70 degrees C (-40 to +158 degrees F). WARNING These photoelectric presence sensors and amplifiers do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry neces- sary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor or amplifier failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or a de-energized sensor output condition. Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition which could lead to serious injury or death. Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA and ANSI machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, and they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.
