Banner MINI-BEAM Series - Manual (Page 6)

Specifications
Supply Voltage and Current
10 to 30V dc (10% maximum ripple) at less than 25 mA (exclusive of
load)
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages
Output Configuration
Bipolar: One current sourcing (PNP) and one current sinking (NPN) open
collector transistor
Output Rating
150 mA maximum each output at 25° C, derated to 100 mA at 70° C
(derate ≈ 1 mA per ° C)
OFF State Leakage Current: less than 1 microamp
Output Saturation Voltage (PNP Output): less than 1 volt at 10 mA, less
than 2 volts at 150 mA
Output Saturation Voltage (NPN Output): less than 200 millivolts at 10
mA, less than 1 volt at 150 mA
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or
short-circuit of outputs
Output Response Time
Sensors will respond to either a “light” or “dark” signal of 1 millisecond or
longer duration, 500 Hz maximum. Modification for 0.3 millisecond re-
sponse is available (MHS-suffix models; these models also feature re-
duced sensitivity range and reduced repeatability.) NOTE: Outputs are
non-conducting during 100 millisecond delay on power-up.
Repeatability
Opposed: 0.14 milliseconds
Non-Polarized and Polarized Retro, Diffuse, Convergent, Glass Fiber
Optic, and Plastic Fiber Optic: 0.3 milliseconds
Response time and repeatability specifications are independent of signal strength.
Adjustments
Light/Dark Operate Select switch
15-turn slotted brass screw Gain (sensitivity) adjustment potentiometer
(clutched at both ends of travel)
Located on the rear panel, protected by a gasketed, clear acrylic cover.
Indicators
Patented alignment Indicator Device system (AID™, US patent
#4356393) lights a rear-panel-mounted LED indicator when the sensor
sees light. Its pulse rate is proportional to the light signal strength (the
stronger the signal, the faster the pulse rate).
Construction
Reinforced thermoplastic polyester housing, totally encapsulated, o-ring
sealing, acrylic lenses, stainless steel screws
Environmental Rating
Meets NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 6, 12, and 13; IEC IP67.
Connections
PVC-jacketed 4-conductor 2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30') cables, or 4-pin Euro-
style QD fitting; QD cables available separately
Operating Conditions
Temperature: –20° to +70°C (–4° to +158°F)
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50°C (non-condensing)
Application Note
The NPN (current sinking) output of dc MINI-BEAM sensors is directly
compatible as an input to Banner logic modules, including all non-ampli-
fied MAXI-AMP and MICRO-AMP modules. MINI-BEAMs are TTL com-
patible.

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death. This
product 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.
