Banner VALU-BEAM SMI912 Series—Intrinsically Safe User Manual
Page 4

Sensors include Banner's exclusive Alignment Indicat-
ing Device (AID™) system, which lights a top-mounted
red indicator LED whenever the sensor “sees” its
modulated light source, and pulses the LED at a rate
proportional to the received light signal strength.
Construction
Housing: reinforced PBT, totally encapsulated
Lenses: molded acrylic
Hardware: stainless steel
Connections
Supplied with integral 3-pin Mini-style QD fitting; re-
quires cordset model MBCC (see Accessories), pur-
chased separately.
Repeatability
Opposed mode: 1.0 millisecond
All other modes: 1.3 milliseconds
Repeatability is independent of signal strength.

IEC IP66
Operating Conditions
Temperature: –20 to +70 °C (–4 to +158 °F)
Max. Relative Humidity: 90% @ 50 °C (non-condens-
ing)
Certifications
Application Note
Special Conditions for Safe Use: Parts of the enclosure are non-
conducting and may generate an ignition-capable level of ESD.
Cleaning of the equipment shall be done only with a damp cloth.
