S30 Sensors – ac-Voltage Series

Self-contained ac-operated sensors

* Standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed.

• 9 m (30') cable: add suffix “W/30” (e.g., S303E W/30).

• 4-pin Micro-style QD models: add suffix “Q1” (e.g., S303EQ1). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable.

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. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

Consult your current Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for

personnel protection.

S30 Sensors – ac-Voltage Series Fixed-Field Mode Overview S30 Series self-contained fixed-field sensors are small, powerful, infrared diffuse mode sensors with far-limit cutoff (a type of background suppression). Their high excess gain and fixed-field technology allow them to detect objects of low reflectivity, while ignoring background surfaces. The cutoff distance is fixed. Backgrounds and background objects must always be placed beyond the cutoff distance.

S30 Sensors – ac-Voltage Series Color Sensitivity The effects of object reflectivity on cutoff distance, though small, may be important for some applications. It is expected that at any given cutoff setting, the actual cutoff distance for lower reflectance targets will be slightly shorter than for higher reflectance targets (see Figure-of-Merit information on page 5). This behavior is known as color sensitivity.
