Opposed-mode sensors have higher excess gain than other models, and so should be used whenever possible. ESR and RSR models small effective beam size enables them to reliably detect relatively small objects; their wide beam angle allows forgiving alignment within the 10 range.

An excellent alternative when opposed-mode sensing is not possible. A visible red beam reduces the potential for false signals from reflective objects (proxing) and simplifies alignment. AG (anti-glare) models polarize the emitted light and filter out unwanted reflections.

Effective Beam: 3.5 mm

These sensors detect the reflection of their own light from the object being sensed, and so require no special reflectors. They are ideal for applications where the reflectivity and profile of the object are sufficient to return a large portion of the emitted light back to the sensor. Choose DSR models for best response to objects at close range.

Due to their narrow depth of field, these sensors excel at detecting small objects only a fraction of an inch in front of their backgrounds. The precise 0.06" dia. sensing spot focuses 1.5" in front of the sensor lens. The visible red beam simplifies alignment.

*NOTES:

9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix W/30 to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g. SMW915CV W/30).

915 Series Sensors DescriptionVALU-BEAM 915 Series sensors are rugged, self-contained photoelectric sensorsdesigned for especially demanding industrial applications where economy, performance,and durability are important. They feature SPDT (single-pole, double-throw, form C)electromechanical relay output and operate from a variety of supply voltages.

Powerful, modulated LED light sources provide a wide sensing range. The sensors areextremely robust; being totally epoxy-encapsulated, they are highly resistant to shock,vibration, moisture and corrosion.

915 Series sensors may be mounted from either the front or the rear, using the twothrough-mount holes, or by their threaded base (mounting nut supplied), making themideal for conveyor and other production line applications.

The easy-to-see top-mounted red LED indicator (see Figure 1) simplifies alignment andsystem monitoring. It lights whenever the sensor sees its own modulated light source.Turn the Sensitivity control (on the sensor back panel) clockwise to increase gain.

Light or dark operate is selected by connecting the appropriate output relay contact tothe circuit under control (see Hookups, page 7).

Fiber Optic ModelsBanner offers a complete line of both plastic and glass fiber optic assemblies to fitVALU-BEAM 915 Series fiber optic model sensors. Glass fiber assemblies arerecommended for environments with high temperatures, extreme moisture andcorrosive materials; they are not recommended for applications requiring bending orrepeated flexing of fibers.

Plastic fiber optics are an economical alternative for piping photoelectric sensing lightinto and out of confined areas where the environmental conditions allow, and they canwithstand repeated flexing. Banner plastic fiber optic assemblies are available in severalcore sizes; the highest excess gain will be obtained with the larger fiber cores. Standardplastic fiber optic assemblies are unterminated on the control (sensor) end. Theseassemblies are approximately 2 m (6) long and may be used as-is, or may be cut tolength as needed, using the supplied fiber cutter. Cutting and installation instructionsalso are included with the fiber assembly.

Both plastic and glass fibers are offered in individual and bifurcated styles. Individualfibers are used in pairs in the opposed sensing mode; one fiber transmits the light tothe sensing location, while the other fiber returns the received light to the sensor.Bifurcated plastic fiber assemblies are two-way fibers, having a single sensing end thatboth emits and receives light and dual control (sensor) ends, which attach separately tothe sensor. Fiber optic assemblies are available with a wide variety of sensing endstyles. Refer to your current Banner Photoelectric Catalog for a full selection.

*NOTES:

9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix W/30 to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g. - SMW915FP W/30).

NOTE: The range of all retroreflective sensors is specifiedusing target model BRT-3. Sensing range and signalstrength at any given sensor-to-target distance will varydue to target reflectivity and target area. AReflectivityFactor is included for each target model to help predictsensor performance, relative to the excess gain curveplotted for target model BRT-3. Consider, also, targetarea when predicting performance.

AC- and DC-powered sensors with solid-state outputs

WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.

These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. Asensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current BannerSafety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.

Features

Choose models for 10 to 30V dc or 24 to 250V ac operation.

DC models have bipolar solid-state outputs: one NPN (sinking) and one PNP(sourcing).

AC models have an SPST solid-state output rated for up to 3/4 amp with simple2-wire hookup.

All models have a rear panel sensitivity adjustment and light/dark operate switch.

DC models include Banners Alignment Indicating Device (AID) system.

Choose models with integral 2 m (6.5') cable or Mini-style QD (quick-disconnect)

connector; 9 m (30') cables are also available.

Overview

VALU-BEAM SMI912 Series sensors are designed for intrinsically safe operation inhazardous atmospheres. They are certified by Factory Mutual Research, CSA, andKEMA as being intrinsically safe when used with approved intrinsic safety barriers.

SMI912 Series sensors may be wired for either two- or three-wire current-sinkingoperation. In the three-wire hookup, which requires two intrinsic-safety barriers, the sinkcurrent is 15 mA. The two-wire hookup, which requires one barrier, sinks 10 mA (OFFstate) and 20 mA (ON state).

SMI912 Series sensors feature rugged, encapsulated construction, along with adjustablesensitivity and switchable light or dark operate. They also include Banner's exclusiveAlignment Indicating Device system, which lights an indicator LED whenever the sensor sees its modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the received lightsignal strength.

Intrinsic safety barriers and current trip point amplifier modelCI3RC2are also available(see pages 9 and 10).

HookupsSMI912 Series sensors are certified intrinsically safe ONLY when used with certienergy-limiting intrinsically safe barriers. Banner does not manufacture such barr

however, our applications engineers can refer you to suppliers of certified barrierswill interface with Banner sensors. SMI912 Series sensors may be wired using BCurrent Amplifier Control Module CI3RC2 (see page 9). Note from the hookup d(page 8) that the installation may be made with either a single barrier (2-wire hooor with a double barrier (3-wire hookup). Emitter-only units (SMI91EQD, ESRQDEFQD) use the 2-wire hookup; all other models use either 2- or 3-wire hookup.

In the 2-wire configuration, the sensor will act as a current sink, drawing less thanin the OFF state and more than 20 mA in the ON state. The user must provide a csensing device (current sensor in the diagram) to convert the current to a logic lthe 3-wire configuration, the output may be used directly to control loads of less t15 mA.

In selecting the barrier, it is important to consider the barrier's resistance. The sen

must have at least 10 volts across the brown and blue power leads for proper operand the barrier will cause a voltage drop due to its resistance. The formula thatdetermines how much resistance is allowed is:

R = 0 (supply voltage 10 volts)

If the supply voltage is 24V dc, then the maximum resistance is 560 ohms. If thesupply voltage is 18V dc, then the maximum resistance is 320 ohms. This includeresistance of any current sensing device used (in the 2-wire configuration), so theresistance must be further reduced by the current sensor resistance.

Note that, in the 3-wire hookup, the positive load barrier is in series with the loadresult in an apparent saturation voltage of the output that is higher than the sensorby the amount of I x R(current times resistance) drop through the barrier.

A positive input barrier is required for both supply and for load. The sensors b(negative supply) lead is normally connected to the ground terminal of the barrier

The user is responsible for proper installation and maintenance of this equipment,must conform with the certification requirements relating to barriers and to maximallowable capacitance and inductance of the field wiring. If in doubt about theserequirements, our applications engineers can refer you to the appropriate authority

VALU-BEAMs are a family of rugged, self-contained photoelec-tric sensors designed for especially demanding industrial applica-tions where economy, performance, and durability are important.VALU-BEAMs are built in a variety of operating voltages (both dc

and ac) and output types (solid state and electromechanical relay).SM912 and SM2A912 Series VALU-BEAMs have solid stateoutputs and are available in either 10-30V dc-powered or 24-250Vac-powered models (see specifications, page 4). SMW915,SMA915, and SMB915 Series VALU-BEAMs have electrome-chanical relay output and operate from 12-28V ac/dc, 90-130V ac,or 210 to 250V ac respectively. SMA990 Series VALU-BEAMshave a built-in 6-digit totalizing counter and operate on 12 to 115Vdc or 10 to 250V ac. A fourth VALU-BEAM line, SMI912 Seriesintrinsically safe sensors (low voltage dc sensors having FactoryMutual approval for use with intrinsic-safe barriers in hazardousareas) is covered in data sheet P/N 03396 and the Banner catalog.

Powerful, modulated LED light sources give VALU-BEAM sen-sors greater sensing range than competitive units and a high degreeof immunity to ambient light. All models are totally epoxy-encapsulated and housed in molded VALOX housings for theultimate in shock, vibration, moisture, and corrosion resistance.All VALU-BEAM sensors conform to NEMA standards 1, 2, 3,3S, 4, 4X, 12, and 13.

VALU-BEAM sensors may be mounted from either the front or therear using their two through-mounting holes, or by the outside

threads of their M30x1.5 threaded base (mounting nut supplied),making them ideal for conveyor and other production line applica-tions. A versatile 2-axis steel accessory mounting bracket (modelSMB900) simplifies mounting and alignment. Model SMB30SM

swivel-mount bracket offers the ultimate in flexibility and conve-nience. The bases of standard VALU-BEAMs have a 1/2" NPSintegral internal conduit thread, and are supplied with a 6-footPVC-covered cable. Models with a NEMA-4 rated quick-discon-nect connector (QD models) are available optionally.

All VALU-BEAM sensors have an easily-visible top-mounted redLED indicator to assist in alignment and system monitoring. OnSMA915, SMB915, SMW915, and SMA990 Series VALU-BEAMs, this indicator lights whenever the sensor "sees" itsmodulated light source. On SM2A912 Series 2-wire sensors, theLED lights whenever the load is energized. SM912 Series sensorshave Banner's exclusive, patented "AID" system (Alignment Indi-cating Device, US patent #4356393) which lights the indicatorLED whenever the sensor "sees" its modulated light source, andalso pulses the LED at a rate proportional to the received light signalstrength. This feature greatly simplifies alignment: in most situa-tions, alignment becomes simply a matter of positioning the sensorfor maximum LED pulse rate.

VALU-BEAMs offer a choice of light or dark operate in the samesensor. This is done via a rear panel control or, in the relay outputunits, by offering both N/O and N/C output relay contacts.

!WARNING VALU-BEAM photoelectric presence sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessaryto allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or a de-energizedsensor output condition.

Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition whichcould lead to serious injury or death.

Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA andANSI machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, andthey must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.
