MINI-BEAM
®
SM312FV
Visible-light Glass Fiber Optic DC Sensors
Printed in USA
05/01 P/N 03510 rev. C
Used with Banner Glass Fiber Optic assemblies for specific
applications including the following: color registration
sensing in the diffuse mode (except for red-on-white
contrast, which requires a green or blue light source);
presence sensing of translucent materials and registration
mark sensing on clear webs in the opposed mode
• Compact, modulated, self-contained fiber optic sensors for
10-30V dc operation
Useable in opposed, retroreflective, and diffuse fiber optic
modes with Banner glass fiber optic assemblies
Switch-selectable for light operate or dark operate
Includes Banner’s exclusive AID™ alignment system;
US patent number 4356393
*NOTES:
i) 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., SM312FV W/30).
ii) A 150 mm (6") long pigtail cable with attached QD connector is available by adding suffix “QDP” to the model number of any
MINI-BEAM sensor (e.g., SM312FVQDP). See page 5 for more information.
iii) A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. See page 5 for more information.
iv) May be ordered with 0.3 millisecond on/off response by adding suffix “MHS” to the model numbers
(e.g., SM312FVMHS). This modification reduces sensing range (and excess gain).
