For MINI-BEAM Green LED Sensors:
i) 9 m (30 ft) cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g. - SM312FVG W/30)
ii) Standard models have 1 millisecond output response, models with 0.3 millisecond (300 microsecond) response are available by
adding suffix “MHS” to the model number (e.g. - SM312FVGMHS). Note that this modification reduces the maximum operating
temperature to +50º C (122º F), and reduces sensing range (and excess gain).
iii) A 150 mm (6 in) long pigtail cable with attached QD connector is available by adding suffix “QDP” to the model number
(e.g. - SM312FVGQDP).
iv) A model with a QD connector requires an optional mating cable (see accessories, page 6).
