SM30 30 mm Barrel Sensor 

## Features 

Opposed-mode infrared photoelectric sensors for especially demanding applications 

   - Stainless steel or plastic barrel models 

   - • Very high excess gain; 150 m (500 ft) sensing range; 880 nm Infrared LED • Positive sealing eliminates even capillary leakage; lens is quad-ring sealed; exceeds NEMA 6P (IP67) ratings – ideal for equipment wash-down environments 

   - • EZ-BEAM® technology provides reliable sensing without the need for adjustment • Modulation frequency “A” is standard; frequencies “B” and “C” also available for preventing crosstalk in multiple-sensor applications (emitter and opposed receiver frequencies must match) 

   - • AC- and DC-operated receiver models are available; emitters feature Universal voltage • Range for all models: 150 m (500 ft) 

- WARNING: • Do not use this device for personnel protection • Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death. • This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on) or de-energized (off) output condition.

> (1) Any emitter and receiver shown here can be used together, if they have the same modulation frequency. 

(2) Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable and integral QD models are listed. Models with a quick disconnect require a mating cordset. To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, SM30PRLBW/30. 

> (3) AC models with QD require SM30CC model cables.

## Product Support and Maintenance 

## Clean Sensor with Compressed Air and Water 

Handle the sensor with care during installation and operation. Sensor windows soiled by fingerprints, dust, water, oil, etc. create stray light that may degrade the peak performance of the sensor. 

Blow the window clear using filtered, compressed air, then clean as necessary using only water and a lint-free cloth. Do not use any other chemicals for cleaning.
