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 de­energized sensor output condition.

Overview

VALU-BEAM SMI912 Series sensors are designed for intrinsically safe operation in hazardous atmospheres. They are certified by Facto­ry Mutual Research, CSA, and KEMA as being intrinsically safe when used with approved intrinsic safety barriers.

SMI912 Series sensors may be wired for either two- or three-wire current-sinking operation. In the three-wire hookup, which requires two
intrinsic-safety barriers, the sink current is 15 mA. The two-wire hookup, which requires one barrier, sinks ≤ 10 mA (OFF state) and ≥ 20
mA (ON state).

SMI912 Series sensors feature rugged, encapsulated construction, along with adjustable sensitivity and switchable light or dark operate.
They also include Banner's exclusive Alignment Indicating Device system, which lights an indicator LED whenever the sensor “sees” its
modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the received light signal strength.

Intrinsic safety barriers and current trip point amplifier model CI3RC2 are also available (see Accessories).

Installation Notes

WARNING: Explosion Hazard

Do not disconnect equipment unless power has been switched off or the area is known to be non-hazard­ous.

FM Installation

1. Barriers must be installed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

2. Barrier entity parameters must meet the following requirements:

2 www.bannerengineering.com - tel: [phone] P/N 03396 Rev. K

VALU-BEAM SMI912 Series

• Voc or Vt ≤ Vmax Ca ≥ Ci + Ccable

• Isc or It ≤ I max La ≥ Li + Lcable

3. Maximum non-hazardous area voltage must not exceed 250V.

4. For guidance on installation, see ANSI/ISA RP12.6, “Installation of Intrinsically Safe Instrument Systems for Hazardous (Classified)
Locations.”

5. The sensors are suitable for installation without barriers in Class I Div. 2 Groups A, B, C, D; Class II Div. 2 Group G; and Class III Div.
2, when installed in (or through the wall of) a suitable enclosure with provision for connection of rigid metal conduit per the National
Electrical Code, as acceptable to the local inspection authority having jurisdiction.

CSA Installation

1. Barriers must be installed in accordance with manufacturer's instructions.

2. Barrier entity parameters must meet the following requirements:

• Voc ≤ Vmax Ca ≥ Ci + Ccable

• Isc ≤ I max La ≥ Li + Lcable

3. Maximum non-hazardous area voltage must not exceed 250V.

4. Install in accordance with Canadian Electrical Code, Part I.

5. The sensors are suitable for installation without barriers in Class I Div. 2 Groups A, B, C, D when installed in (or through the wall of) a
suitable enclosure with provision for connection of rigid metal conduit per the Canadian Electrical Code, as acceptable to the local inspec­tion authority having jurisdiction.

In Div. 2 installations (without barriers), observe warning at left.

6. If barriers with Volt/Ohm parameters are used, the following parameters shall apply:

One Single-Channel Barrier Systems

• one 28 V (max), 300 Ω (min)

Two Single-Channel Barrier or One Dual-Channel Systems

• two 28 V (max), 600 Ω (min)

• one 28 V (max), 300 Ω (min) and one 10 V (max), 50 Ω (min)

Specifications

Supply Voltage and Current

Sensor only: requires 10 to 30V dc, 25 mA maximum
Division 1 use (with barriers): requires a minimum sys-

tem supply voltage of 10 volts (see hookup information
and hookup diagrams).

Sensing Beam

VALU-BEAM SMI912 Series

Sensors include Banner's exclusive Alignment Indicat­ing 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.

VALU-BEAM SMI912 Series

Dimensions

Wiring Connections

SMI912 Series sensors are certified intrinsically safe ONLY when used with certified energy-limiting intrinsically safe barriers. Banner
does not manufacture such barriers; however, our applications engineers can refer you to suppliers of certified barriers that will interface
with Banner sensors. SMI912 Series sensors may be wired using Banner Current Amplifier Control Module CI3RC2 (see page 9). Note
from the hookup diagrams (page 8) that the installation may be made with either a single barrier (2-wire hookup) or with a double barrier
(3-wire hookup). Emitter-only units (SMI91EQD, ESRQD, and EFQD) use the 2-wire hookup; all other models use either 2- or 3-wire
hookup.

In the 2-wire configuration, the sensor will act as a current sink, drawing less than 10 mA in the OFF state and more than 20 mA in the
ON state. The user must provide a current sensing device (“current sensor” in the diagram) to convert the current to a logic level. In the 3­wire configuration, the output may be used directly to control loads of less than 15 mA.

In selecting the barrier, it is important to consider the barrier's resistance. The sensor must have at least 10 volts across the brown and
blue power leads for proper operation, and the barrier will cause a voltage drop due to its resistance. The formula that determines how
much resistance is allowed is:

R = 40 (supply voltage – 10 volts)

If the supply voltage is 24V dc, then the maximum resistance is 560 ohms. If the supply voltage is 18V dc, then the maximum resistance
is 320 ohms. This includes the resistance of any current sensing device used (in the 2-wire configuration), so the barrier resistance must
be further reduced by the current sensor resistance.

Note that, in the 3-wire hookup, the positive load barrier is in series with the load. This will result in an apparent saturation voltage of the
output that is higher than the sensor output by the amount of I × R (current times resistance) drop through the barrier.

A “positive input” barrier is required for both supply and for load. The sensor’s blue (negative supply) lead is normally connected to the
ground terminal of the barrier.

The user is responsible for proper installation and maintenance of this equipment, and must conform with the certification requirements
relating to barriers and to maximum allowable capacitance and inductance of the field wiring. If in doubt about these requirements, our
applications engineers can refer you to the appropriate authority.

Current Trip-Point Modules

Current Trip-Point Module

Model Description

• Self-contained module converts the SMI912 sensor’s current output signal to a trip point switch.

• SPDT electromechanical relay switches loads that draw up to 5 amps. The SPST solid-state relay can
switch a dc load of up to 30V dc, max.; 20 mA max.

• Powered by either 105-130V ac or 210-250V ac.

CI3RC2

• Supplies dc power to operate a single sensor or both the emitter and receiver of one SMI Series op­posed-mode sensor pair. The sensor's input to the CI3RC2 is protected against short circuits. Built-in
circuit diagnostics indicate an input overload by flashing an LED status light.

• Module has two isolated output switches, a 5-amp rated SPDT electromechanical relay and a solid-state
transistor switch used for logic-level interfaces.

• May be ordered either alone or as a part of a kit.
