MINI-BEAM SME312 Expert Series Microprocessor-based TEACH mode photoelectric sensors TEACH-mode sensors in the popular MINI-BEAM package Easy push-button programming automatically adjusts sensitivity to optimal set- ting Multiple sensing modes include retroreflective, polarized retro, clear object de- tection, diffuse, divergent, and convergent, plus glass and plastic fiber optic models Fast, 500 microsecond (0.5 millisecond) output response Bipolar NPN (sinking)/PNP (sourcing) outputs Easy output programming eliminates the need for Light or Dark Operate selec- tion Separate TEACH input allows remote programming by an external device, such as a switch or a process controller LED status indications for received signal strength (using Banners AID func- tion), power ON, and output state Green Stability indicator flashes when received signal level approaches the switching threshold, also indicates Power ON Integral 2 meter (6.5 foot) cable or 5-pin Euro-style quick-disconnect (QD) con- nector, depending on model 9 meter (30 foot) cable models are also available U.S. patent(s) issued or pending WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. This device does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de- energized sensor output condition.

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix W/30 to the model number (e.g., SME312LV W/30.) To order the 5-pin Euro-style QD models, add suffix QD (e.g., SME312LVQD). Models with a QD connector require a mating cable. Overview MINI-BEAM Expert is a complete family of sensors, all housed in the popular, ro- bust and compact rectangular housing. Their large push button and easy-to-see indi- cators provide easy configuration, alignment, and monitoring during use. Yellow output Retroreflective and Polarized Retroreflective Mode models are excellent for sens- indicator LED ing relatively small items where opposed-mode sensing is not possible. They are rec- Bi-color green/red indicator LED ommended for relatively clean environments where high excess gain is not required. Polarized models filter out unwanted reflections. Polarized Retroreflective Mode Clear Object Detection models reliably detect the presence of clear objects. 2 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: 763-544-3164 P/N 055214 Rev. F
