Pairs

Datasheet

• Economical opposed-mode (beam-break) sensor pairs in 12-millimeter
diameter barrel-style housings

• Sensing range of 15 meters (50 feet)

• Totally self-contained; 10 to 30 V dc operation

• Complementary outputs: one normally open, one normally closed;
choice of NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) configuration, 100 mA max.
(continuous)

• One output may be used as a marginal signal alarm

• LED status indicators for Power On, Output Overload, Object Sensed,
and Low Gain conditions

To order 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g. - S12SN6R W/

30). Models with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable.

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.

EZ-BEAM S12 Series Opposed-Mode Sensor Pairs

Specifications

Supply Voltage and Current

10 to 30 V dc (10% maximum ripple)
Supply current (exclusive of load current): Opposed Mode Emitters: 25
mA; Opposed Mode Receivers: 20 mA

Supply Protection Circuitry

Protected against reverse polarity and transient voltages

Output Configuration

SPDT (complementary) solid-state dc switch; choose NPN (current
sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) models.
Light operate: N.O. output conducts when the sensor sees the emitter’s
modulated light
Dark operate: N.C. output conducts when the sensor sees dark; The
N.C. (normally closed) output may be wired as a normally open
marginal signal alarm output, depending upon hookup to the power
supply (U.S. patent 5087838)

Output Rating

100 mA maximum (each) in standard hookup; when wired for alarm
output, the total load may not exceed 100 mA
Off-state leakage current < 1 microamp at 30 V dc
On-state saturation voltage < 1 V at 10 mA dc and < 1.5 V at 150 mA
dc

Output Protection Circuitry

Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or
short circuit of outputs

Output Response Time

3 milliseconds ON, 1.5 milliseconds OFF
100 millisecond delay on power-up; outputs are non-conducting during
this time

Repeatability

375 microseconds; repeatability and response are independent of
signal strength

Indicators

Receivers have two LEDs: green and amber
Green solid: power to sensor is “on”
Green flashing: output is overloaded (dc models only)
Amber solid: normally open output is conducting
Amber flashing: excess gain marginal (1–1.5x) in light condition

Construction

reinforced thermoplastic polyester housings; polycarbonate lenses;
polyurethane end cap

Environmental Rating

Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P (IEC IP67)

Connections

2 m (6.5 ft) or 9 m (30 ft) attached PVC-covered 4-wire cable, or a 4­pin Pico-style QD

Operating Conditions

Temperature: –40 °C to 70 °C (–40 °F to 158 °F)
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50 °C (non-condensing)

Vibration and Mechanical Shock

Meets Mil. Std. 202F requirements.
Method 201A (Vibration: frequency 10 to 60 Hz, max., double
amplitude 0.06-inch acceleration 10G).
Method 213B conditions H&I (Shock: 75G with unit operating; 100G for
non-operation).
