Banner MINI-BEAM Series User Manual
Mini-beam sm31e/r opposed mode sensors, Datasheet

Datasheet
•
Compact, self-contained opposed mode modulated infrared sensor pairs for 10 to
30 V dc operation
•
Standard sensor pairs have 3 m (10 ft) range; long range sensor pairs have 30 m
(100 ft) range
•
Switch-selectable for light operate or dark operate; highly repeatable, 1
millisecond response
•
Both sourcing and sinking outputs (150 mA maximum each)
•
Receivers include Banner’s exclusive AID
™
alignment system, US patent number
4356393
•
Rugged, epoxy-encapsulated construction: meets NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4,
4X, 6, 12, and 13, IEC IP67
•
Physically and electrically interchangeable with 18 mm barrel-type photoelectrics
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

1 To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., SM31EL W/30). To
order the 150 mm (6 inch) long pigtail cable with attached QD connector models, add the suffix “QDP” to the model number of
any MINI-BEAM sensor (e.g., SM31ELQDP). Models with a QD connector require an accessory mating cable.
2 To order emitters and receivers with 0.3 millisecond on/off response, add the suffix “MHS” to the model numbers (e.g.,
SM31EMHS & SM31RMHS). This modification reduces sensing range (and excess gain).
