## **NOTES:** - i) 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix **“W/30”** to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., **SM312F W/30** ). - ii) A 150 mm (6") long pigtail cable with attached QD connector is available by adding suffix **“QDP”** to the model number of any MINI-BEAM sensor (e.g., **SM312FQDP** ). See page 5 for more information. iii) A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. See page 5 for more information. - iv) May be ordered with 0.3 millisecond on/off response by adding suffix **“MHS”** to the model numbers (e.g., **SM312FMHS** ). This modification reduces sensing range (and excess gain). Printed in USA P/N 03368 rev.

## ~~**MINI-BEAM Fiber Information**~~ - 1) Install the O-ring (supplied with the fiber) on each fiber end, as shown in the drawing. - 2) While pressing the fiber ends firmly into the ports on the front of the sensor, slide the U-shaped retaining clip (supplied with the sensor) into the slot in the sensor’s barrel, until it snaps into place. **==> picture [67 x 43] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

## ~~**Lens Attachment**~~ Lenses are sometimes added to fiber optic assemblies for extending opposed mode sensing range. Banner ofers the following lens assemblies for use with fiber optic assemblies which have 5/16” -24 threaded sensing tips (e.g. fiber model IT23S): **==> picture [514 x 151] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

Lenses are most efficient when they are located slightly beyond their focal length distance from the sensing end of the fiber optic bundle. The easiest way to focus a lens is to treat it like a magnifying glass. Illuminate the fiber optic bundle at the threaded end of the fiber optic assembly by directing the opposite end toward a visible light source (e.g. - an incandenscent bulb, visible LED, sunlight, etc.). Thread the lens onto the fiber optic assembly until the end of the fiber optic bundle comes into sharp focus under the lens. Then, back off (unthread) the lens assembly from the point of sharpest focus by one to three full turns. The illuminated bundle should now appear slightly blurred. This is the optimum setting, and the lens may be secured in position using one of the jam nuts provided. Refer to the drawing above. **Banner Engineering Corp.** • Minneapolis, U.S.A. www.bannerengineering.com • Tel: 763.544.3164 page 2 **® Sensors SM312F** **MINI-BEAM** |**MINI-BEAM**
