focus point 16 mm (0.65") from the lens surface (model SM312CV)

or a 3.0 mm (0.12") sensing spot at 43 mm (1.70") focus (model

SM312CV2)

• Switch-selectable for light operate or dark operate

• Includes Banner’s exclusive AID™ alignment system*

• Highly repeatable 1 millisecond response

• Both sourcing and sinking outputs (150 mA max. each); continuous

overload and short-circuit protected

• Rugged, epoxy-encapsulated construction: meets NEMA standards

1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 12 and 13; IEC IP67

• Physically and electrically interchangeable with 18 mm barrel-type

photoelectrics

*US patent number 4356393

For Standard MINI-BEAMs:

i) 9 m (30 ft) cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g. - SM312CV W/30).

ii) A 150 mm (6 in.) long pigtail cable with attached QD connector is available by adding suffix “QDP” to the model number of any

MINI-BEAM sensor (e.g. - SM312CVQDP). See page 5 for more information.

iii) A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. See page 8 for more information.

iv) May be ordered with 0.3 millisecond on/off response by adding suffix “MHS” to the model numbers (e.g. - SM312CVMHS). This

modification reduces sensing range (and excess gain).

MINI-BEAM Installation and Alignment

Proper operation of the SM312CV or SM312CV2 sensor requires that it be mounted

securely and aligned properly. In some applications, excessive movement or

vibration can result in intermittent or false operation caused by loss of alignment.

For best results, final-mount the sensor in an 18mm-hole by its threaded barrel or

use a mounting bracket (see page 6).

Begin with the sensor at the approximate position where it will be mounted. With

power applied to the circuit and with the sensor set for “light operate”, direct the

sensor’s visible red spot at the object approximately 16 mm (0.65 in) (for model

SM312CV) or 43 mm (1.7 in) (for model SM312CV2) directly in front of the lens.

Move the sensor very slightly toward or away from the object while observing the

red LED indicator on the back of the sensor. Note the near and far points at which

sensing occurs (the range of distance over which the LED remains lit). Mount the

sensor at a point approximately midway in the range. This should correspond to the

point at which the red sensing spot on the object appears most sharply defined on

the object surface. Mount the sensor at this position and distance.

0.3 millisecond response modification is available. See note below.

100 millisecond delay on power-up: outputs do not conduct during this time.

Repeatability 0.3 milliseconds. Response time and repeatability specifications are independent of signal strength.

Adjustments LIGHT/DARK OPERATE select switch, and 15-turn slotted brass screw GAIN (sensitivity) adjustment

potentiometer (clutched at both ends of travel). Both controls are located on rear panel of sensor and

protected by a gasketed, clear acrylic cover.

Indicators Exclusive, patented Alignment Indicating Device system (AID™, US patent #4356393) lights a rear-panel

mounted red LED indicator whenever the sensor sees a "light" condition, with a superimposed pulse rate

proportional to the light signal strength (the stronger the signal, the faster the pulse rate).

Construction Reinforced PBT thermoplastic polyester housing, totally encapsulated, o-ring sealing, acrylic lenses, and

stainless steel screws.

Environmental Rating Meets NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 12, and 13; IEC IP67

Connections PVC-jacketed 4-conductor 2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) cables, or 4-pin euro-style quick disconnect (QD)

fitting are available. QD cables are ordered separately. See page 5.

Operating Temperature Temperature: -20°to +70°C (-4°to +158°F)

Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50°C (non-condensing)

Application Notes The NPN (current sinking) output of dc MINI-BEAM sensors is directly compatible as an input to Banner

logic modules, including all non-amplified MAXI-AMP and MICRO-AMP modules. MINI-BEAMs are

TTL compatible.

NOTE: DC MINI-BEAMs may be ordered with 0.3 millisecond on/off response by adding suffix “MHS” to the model numbers

(e.g. - SM312CVMHS). This modification reduces sensing range (and excess gain).

MINI-BEAM MODIFICATIONS

Description

All MINI-BEAM sensors may be ordered with an integral 9 m (30 ft)

cable in place of the standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable

Standard dc MINI-BEAM sensors with 1 millisecond output response may

be modified for 0.3 millisecond (300 µs) response.

NOTE: Faster response comes at the expense of lower excess gain.

Also, operating temperature range becomes -20º to +50ºC(-4º to +122ºF)
