For MINI-BEAM Blue LED Sensors:
i) 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., SM312FVB 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., SM312FVBMHS). Note that this modification reduces the maximum operating
temperature to +50ºC (122ºF), and reduces sensing range (and excess gain).
iii) A 150 mm (6") long pigtail cable with attached QD connector is available by adding suffix “QDP” to the model number
(e.g., SM312FVBQDP).
iv) A model with a QD connector requires an optional mating cable (see accessories, page 6).
