MICRO-AMP modulated amplifier model MA3AF is designed for
use with the SP100AF sensor. Model MA3AF has the same specifi-
cations as standard MICRO-AMP model MA3, with the exceptions of
response speed and sensor hookup.
Model MA3AF offers complementary current sinking outputs. Each
output has sufficient capacity to switch small electromechanical
devices, such as relays, and will directly interface logic inputs.
Connections are made using the optional RS8 socket and wiring base,
or the MA3AF may be mounted directly to a PC board. The sensing
system is powered by +10 to 30V dc. Power supply model MPS-15 is
available, and includes its own board-mounted socket for the MA3AF
and a built-in SPDT output relay.
Model MA3AF does not contain a sensitivity adjustment. The
SP100AF's maximum range is adjustable via a four-turn potentiom-
eter on top of the amplifier module. Circuitry is epoxy-encapsulated
and protected by a tough molded VALOX
®
housing.
Additional information for model MA3AF may be obtained from the
description of standard amplifier model MA3.

WARNING This photoelectric presence sensing system does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor or module failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or a de-
energized output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition which
could lead to serious injury or death.
Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA and ANSI machine safety
standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, and they must NOT be used
as sensing devices for personnel protection.
