Banner PT Remote Sensors User Manual
Sp300l, Retroreflective mode remote sensor, Specifications, mb series amplifiers
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0 to +50°C (+32 to +122° F).
MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 100 feet (30m) maximum;
use separate shielded cables for emitter and receiver.
OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: open collector NPN transistor; maximum
on-state current 250mA, maximum off-state leakage current 100 micro-
amps.
RESPONSE SPEED: 1 millisecond ON and OFF.
Model SP300L is a rugged, totally encapsulated infrared remote retroreflective sensor with a range of up to 15' (minimum range 6").
The SP300L is fully encapsulated and is supplied with 6 feet of 4-conductor PVC-covered cable. Units may be washed down without
damage.
This sensor is designed for use with Banner MICRO-AMP
®
system MA3-4 and MA3-4P
modulated amplifiers, MAXI-AMP™ system CM Series modulated amplifiers, and MB Series
amplifiers.
Application Note: if the object being sensed is shiny, the SP300L should be mounted at an angle
of 10 degrees or more to that surface in order to eliminate false signals ("proxing"). For best
results, use the SP300L with the model BRT-3 3" diameter corner-cube retroreflector (see excess
gain curve).
POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT: 12-18V dc at less than 100mA,
exclusive of load.

Retroreflective Mode Remote Sensor
Specifications, MB Series Amplifiers
1) Avoid running remote sensor cables in wireways together with
power-carrying conductors.
2) Avoid running remote sensor cables through areas of known ex-
treme electrical interference (electrical "noise").
3) Always use shielded cables and only connect the shield ("drain")
wire at the amplifier.
4) When splicing, never combine emitter and receiver wires into a
common cable. (The result will be electrical "crosstalk" within the
cable, which causes a "lock-on" condition of the amplifier.)
RANGE: up to 15 feet with BRT-3 reflector (minimum range 6")
RESPONSE SPEED: a function of the amplifier (see below)
OPERATING TEMPERATURE: -40 to +80° C (-40 to +176°
F)
EMITTER CHARACTERISTICS: infrared LED, 940nm
CONSTRUCTION: totally encapsulated, hermetically sealed
lenses. Anodized aluminum housing; NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13.
CABLE: sensors are supplied with 6' 4-wire PVC-covered cable.
30' cables are available by special order.

Hookup to MB Series Amplifiers
Banner remote sensors will connect to any MB series amplifier. The
model MRB chassis (shown) has octal sockets for the amplifier and a
BR-2 relay (supplied) and provides power for the sensors and ampli-
fier. Up to four sensor pairs may be connected to one amplifier for
light-operated OR or dark operated AND operation. In multiple-sensor
hookups, receivers are wired in parallel and emitters are connected in
series (see example for CM Series modules, next page).
Several MB series amplifiers are available. Each provides a different
output logic function. Chassis models with additional octal sockets
are also available. Other types of output devices, including solid state
relays, may be ordered (see Banner catalog).
