D12s are compact, totally self-contained visible-red ber optic sensors
for DIN rail mounting. D12 sensors are designed for use with Banner
glass and cut-to-length plastic ber optics. Standard D12FP and D12FV
plastic and glass ber optic sensors offer fast 0.5 millisecond (500 µs)
response. D12FVY Series (page 3) and D12FPY Series (page 4) sen-
sors have switch-selectable 50µs/500µs response modes for applications
that require a faster, high speed response time (50 µs as compared to the
500 µs of FP and FV models). D12FVY1 and D12FPY1 models have
switch-selectable response times along with a built-in 20 millisecond
pulse stretcher for use with loads (or input circuits) that are too slow to
react to quick sensing events when using the 50µs response mode.
All models operate from 10-30V dc. D12s are available with a choice
of NPN or PNP complementary outputs (one output normally open, one
output normally closed). The normally closed output of FP and FV models
(only) may be used as a diagnostic alarm output, depending upon the
hookup of the sensor to the power supply. All models are available with
either an attached cable or a 6" pigtail with a pico-type quick disconnect
connector. There is one D12 model line for glass bers, and another for
plastic bers. Model listings are given on pages 3 and 4.
Plastic ber models may be used with either the small diameter (.010" and
.020") or large diameter (.040") Banner cut-to-length plastic bers.
Two top-mounted LED indicators (see drawing, right) light to indicate
POWER ON and NORMALLY OPEN OUTPUT CONDUCTING condi-
tions.
On all D12 sensors operating in the 500µs (standard)
response mode, a red seven-segment moving-dot LED
bargraph (below) lights to indicate the relative strength
of the received light signal. This feature can greatly
simplify sensitivity adjustment and the task of ber
optic alignment, as well as provide a constant reference
over time for overall sensing system performance. In all
models and in both response modes, segment #1 of the
bargraph ashes to indicate an output overload. On all
sensors operating in the 500µs response mode, segment
#7 ashes to indicate marginal excess gain. On standard
(FP and FY) models, a ashing LED corresponds to the
"on" state of the D12's alarm output.
D12s have a 15-turn SENSITIVITY control, with a
slotted brass screw clutched at both ends of travel.
D12s are constructed of rugged black ABS (Cycolac®
KJB). The transparent housing cover is acrylic. All
D12 sensors are rated NEMA 2.

WARNING These photoelectric presence sensors do
NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor
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 a safety device may create an unsafe condition which could lead to
serious injury or death.
Only MINI-SCREEN®, MULTI-SCREEN®, MICRO-SCREEN,
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.

The N.C. (normally closed) output of standard FP and FV models may

supply.
Output rating: Complementary outputs, one normally open (N.O.)
and the other normally closed (N.C.). 150 mA maximum each output.
No false pulse on power-up. (False pulse protection circuit causes a 0.1
second delay on power-up.) Short-circuit protected.
Off-state leakage current <10 microamps at 30V dc.
On-state saturation voltage <1V at 10 mA dc; <1.5V at 150 mA dc.
The total load may not exceed 150 mA.
Response time (FV, FP models): .
500 microseconds "on"; 500 microseconds "off".
Repeatability is 130 microseconds.
FVY, FVY1, FPY, and FPY1 models have switch-selectable standard
500 microsecond response mode plus a high speed (50 microseconds
on/off) mode. Repeatability in the high-speed (50µs) mode is 15 mi-
croseconds. FPY1 and FVY1 models (when used in the 50µs response
mode) include a 20 ms pulse stretcher for use in applications in which
the load (or input circuit) requires a longer input signal.
Response time and repeatability are independent of signal strength.

Indicators: Two top-mounted LED indicators, one yellow and one
green, and one seven segment red LED moving-dot bargraph. Note
that the seven segment bargraph and marginal excess gain indication
(bargraph segment #7) are inoperative in the 50µs response mode on
Y and Y1 models.
GREEN LED lights for DC POWER ON.
YELLOW LED lights for NORMALLY OPEN OUTPUT CONDUCT-
ING.
On all models in 500µs response mode, the 7-segment moving dot
red LED bargraph lights to indicate relative received light signal
strength. On all models in 50 and 500µs response modes, segment
#1 ashes to indicate OUTPUT OVERLOAD. On all models in the
500µs response mode, segment #7 ashes to indicate MARGINAL
EXCESS GAIN. On standard FV and FP models, a ashing LED
corresponds to the "on" state of the alarm output. (Alarm output not
available on Ys & Y1s.)
Adjustments: All models have a SENSITIVITY control on top of
module (15-turn slotted brass screw, clutched at both ends of adjust-
ment). FVY and FPY (high speed models) also have a top-mounted
response mode selector switch.
Construction: Black ABS (Cycolac® KJB) housing with acrylic
cover. Rated NEMA 2; IEC IP11. The ber clamping element is
Delrin®. Stainless steel M3 x 0,5 hardware for use with mounting
bracket (supplied).
Cable: 6-1/2-foot (2 m) or 30-foot (9 m) attached PVC-covered
cable, or 6-inch pigtail with pico-type 4-pin QD connector.
Mounting bracket: D12 Series sensors mount directly to a stan-
dard DIN rail, or may be through-hole mounted using the supplied
mounting bracket and M3 x 0,5 hardware. Bracket material is black
VALOX®.
Operating temperature range: -20° to +70°C (-5° to +158°F).
Maximum relative humidity 90% at 50°C (non-condensing).
Application caution...
D12 Series sensors are designed to deliver very high optical energy
(excess gain). They should not be used for applications which offer
low optical contrast (i.e. only a small difference in received light levels
between the light and dark sensing conditions). Examples include diffuse
mode sensing of objects in front of a reective background and opposed
mode sensing of non-opaque materials.
D12 sensors excel in applications requiring high excess gain (e.g. for
long-range sensing, sensing with long ber lengths, diffuse sensing of
materials with low reectivity, etc.)
