Printed in USA 01/01 P/N 63226 VS3 Series Retroreflective Mode VS3 Series Overview VS3 Series miniature self-contained sensors are designed for retroreflective sensing in small areas previously accessible only to remote or fiber optic models. Typical applications include mounting on small feeder tracks, packaging machines, and conveyors, where larger sensors will not fit. 20 mm (0.8") 3.0 mm (.12") 26 mm 20 mm 32 mm (1.0") (0.8") (1.1") The coaxial optics of the VS3 allow the retroreflective target to be placed as close to the sensor lens as needed - there is no "blind" response area, as is typical of most retroreflective sensors. The VS3 is supplied with a Banner model BRT32X20AM retroreflective target (see right). The specifications shown on page 1 assume use of this target. o3.5 mm (0.14") 2.0 mm (0.08") Maximum Temperature: 65C (150F) Other retroreflective materials may be substituted. For example, using the standard BRT-3 target, the range becomes 400 mm (16"); standard BRT-THG retroreflective tape yields a 150 mm (6") range. Contact Banner Engineering for sensing performance when using other retroreflective targets. Figure 1.
