Banner PT Remote Sensors User Manual

SP300L

Model SP300L is a rugged, totally encapsulated infrared remote retroreective 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 ampliers, MAXI-AMP™ system CM Series modulated ampliers, and MB Series
ampliers.

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 retroreector (see excess

gain curve).

Hookup to MB Series Ampliers

Banner remote sensors will connect to any MB series amplier. The
model MRB chassis (shown) has octal sockets for the amplier and a
BR-2 relay (supplied) and provides power for the sensors and ampli­er. Up to four sensor pairs may be connected to one amplier 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 ampliers 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).

EXCESS GAIN CURVE

BEAM PATTERN

Wiring rules:

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 amplier.

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 amplier.)

Specications, MB Series Ampliers

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT: 12-18V dc at less than 100mA,

exclusive of load.

OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: open collector NPN transistor; maximum
on-state current 250mA, maximum off-state leakage current 100 micro­amps.

RESPONSE SPEED: 1 millisecond ON and OFF.

MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 100 feet (30m) maximum;

use separate shielded cables for emitter and receiver.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0 to +50°C (+32 to +122° F).

Hookup to MAXI-AMP™ CM Series Modules

CM Series modules combine power supply, modulated photoelectric
amplier, timing logic (CM5 models), and output relay in a single
compact module. Only an 11-pin relay socket (Banner model RS-11)

is needed to complete the system.

The CM Series contains models with or without programmable timing
logic and with either electromechanical or solid-state relay outputs. See
the Banner product catalog for further information.

Up to three sensors may be connected to each amplier. Light- operated
OR logic (input to module occurs whenever at least one receiver sees

"light") or dark-operated AND logic (input to module occurs when all
receivers simultaneously see "dark") is possible.

NOTE: to power the MAXI-AMP from a DC power supply, connect

+12 to 28V dc at ≥70mA to terminal #3 and DC common to terminal
#1. Make no connections to terminal #7 or #8.

To Multiple Sensors

To a Single Sensor

When wiring two sensors to one
MAXI-AMP, multiply excess gain

data (from excess gain curve) for

each sensor by 1/2; when wiring
three sensors to one MAXI-AMP,

multiply excess gain by 1/3.

Specications, MAXI-AMP CM Series Modules

RESPONSE SPEED: programmable for 10, 2, or 0.3 milliseconds (10 millisecond setting enhances noise rejection).
MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 50' (15m) maximum.

To avoid "cable crosstalk", use separate shielded cable for emitter and receiver, or order sensors with extended cable length.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0 to +50 degrees C (+32 to +122 degrees F).

Hookup to MICRO-AMP® Modules

MICRO-AMP amplier module models MA3-4 and MA3-4P may
be used with this sensor. Model MA3-4 has complementary current

sinking outputs. Model MA3-4P has complementary current sourc­ing outputs.

Model MA3-4 (but not model MA3-4P) may be powered by the model
MPS-15 power supply, as shown in the hookup diagram (right). The
MPS-15 includes a socket for the MA3-4 and has a built-in SPDT
output relay (switchable by the MA3-4 module).

MICRO-AMP modules may also be mounted in a model RS8 wiring
socket and powered from a "remote" power supply. PVC mounting
track is available in 6" and 12" lengths to accommodate multiple MI­CRO-AMP system components.

NOTE: only one SP300L may be connected to each amplier.

Specications, MICRO-AMP MA3-4 & MA3-4P

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT: 10-30V dc at less than 20mA; 10% maximum
ripple (obtainable from MPS-15 power supply--see above).

OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: model MA3-4 has two open-collector NPN (cur­rent sinking) transistor solid state switches, one normally open, one normally closed.

150mA max. each output. Model MA3-4P has two PNP (sourcing) outputs, 150mA
max. each.

RESPONSE SPEED: 1 millisecond ON and OFF.

MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 30' (9m).
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE:

-40 to +70 degrees C (-40 to +158 degrees F).

WARNING These photoelectric presence sensors and ampliers do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary

to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor or amplier failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or a
de-energized sensor 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.
