## Specifications
## **Supply Voltage and Current**
10 V DC 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 or PNP 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 wiring; 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 output short-circuit, continuous overload, and false pulse on power-up
## **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 (IP67)
## **Connections**
2 m (6.5 ft) unterminated 4-wire PVC-jacketed cable, 9 m (30 ft) unterminated 4-wire PVC-jacketed cable, or Integral 4-pin M8 male quickdisconnect connector
## **Operating Conditions**
Temperature: –40 °C to +70 °C (–40 °F to +158 °F)
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at +50 °C maximum relative humidity (noncondensing)
## **Vibration and Mechanical Shock**
All models meet MIL-STD-202F requirements. Method 201A (Vibration: 10 Hz to 60 Hz maximum, 0.06 inch (1.52 mm) double amplitude, 10G maximum acceleration).
Method 213B conditions H&I (Shock: 75G with device operating; 100G for non-operation).

EZ-BEAM[®] S12 Series Opposed-Mode Sensor Pairs
## Aperture Kits
SP12 sensors may be fitted with apertures that narrow or shape the effective beam of the sensor and protect the sensor’s lens. These apertures are rectangular or circular thread-on water-tight parts. Use of apertures with SP12 high-gain sensors makes it possible to create very narrow, concentrated sensing beams for precision sensing applications.
