**Retroreflective and Polarized Retroreflective Mode** models are excellent for sensing relatively small items where opposed-mode sensing is not possible. They are recommended for relatively clean environments where high excess gain is not required. Polarized models filter out unwanted reflections. **Polarized Retroreflective Mode – Clear Object Detection** models reliably detect the presence of clear objects. **Diffuse Mode** models are excellent for sensing objects of adequate size and reflectivity at short range. Divergent models are useful for sensing small items and translucent or transparent materials at close range. The SME312DV sensors effectively sense specular surfaces like semi-conductor wafers, disk drive media, glass and machined surfaces. The collimated optics of the SME312DV also permits the sensor to be mounted against clear container walls, view ports and other types of optical “feed-throughs.” **Convergent Mode** models are a good choice for counting adjacent radiused objects and for accurate position sensing. Blue, green and white beam models are recommended for color mark sensing. **Glass Fiber Optic** models are an excellent option for sensing in tight or otherwise inaccessible areas. Fibers withstand vibration and shock and are immune to electrical noise. Glass fibers withstand high temperatures, extreme moisture and corrosive materials. Glass fibers are not recommended for applications requiring bending or repeated flexing (see plastic fiber models). Visible beam models are recommended for color mark sensing. P/N 55214 Rev. G www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: +1-763-544-3164 2 MINI-BEAM SME312 Expert Series **Plastic Fiber Optic** models are an excellent option for sensing in tight or otherwise inaccessible areas. Fibers withstand vibration and shock and are immune to electrical noise. Plastic fibers function well at temperatures from –30° to +70° C (– 20° F to +158° F), and stand up to repeated flexing. Most are easy to shorten in the field, for custom installations. Plastic fibers are not recommended for severe environments (see glass fiber models). Plastic fiber optic sensors are recommended for color mark sensing. ## **Status Indicators** Normal sensor operation is called RUN mode. Sensor configuration (setting the sensitivity threshold and selecting output ON and OFF conditions) is performed in TEACH mode. The two LED indicators (bi-color green/red and amber) have distinct roles in the two operation modes. If contrast is marginal, the bi-color indicator will flash green to indicate instability. If this occurs, reconfigure or realign the sensor, or clean the sensor or fiber lenses. The Signal Strength indicator is Banner’s exclusive AID[™] (Alignment Indicating Device). Its pulse rate increases as the received light signal strength increases (during programming). This feature simplifies accurate alignment during TEACH mode, and gives a relative indication of sensing contrast between the light and dark conditions. |**LED**|**RUN Mode**|**TEACH Mode**| |---|---|---| |Solid green|Power is on|| |Flashing green|Sensed light level is approaching sensing
threshold
3|| |Solid red||Sensor “sees” its own modulated light source; pulse rate is proportional to the
received light signal strength
4| |Amber on|Outputs conducting|Ready to TEACH output ON condition| |Amber off|Outputs not conducting|Ready to TEACH output OFF condition| ## **Remote Configuration** The remote function can be used to configure the sensor remotely or to disable the push button for security. Connect the gray wire of the sensor to ground (0 V dc), with a remote programming switch connected between them. Pulse the remote line according to the diagrams in the configuration procedures. The length of the individual programming pulses is equal to the value T where: 0.04 seconds ≤ “T” ≤ 0.8 seconds ## **Installation** ## **Wiring Diagrams** **==> picture [65 x 7] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**

The two sensing conditions may be presented in either order. The condition presented first is the condition for which the output will energize (the “Output ON” target). Sensitivity is automatically set (and optimized) when teaching the sensor the ON and OFF conditions. When the push button is clicked, the sensor samples each sensing condition and registers it into memory. After the second sensing condition is registered, the MINI-BEAM Expert automatically sets the sensitivity to the optimum value for the application, and then returns to RUN mode. Push button (0.04 seconds ≤ “Click” ≤ 0.8 seconds); Remote line (0.04 seconds ≤ “T” ≤ 0.8 seconds) ## 1.

TEACH mode may be cancelled before either the first or second condition by holding the push button depressed for more than two seconds. ## **Enabling or Disabling the Push Button** In addition to its programming function, the remote line may be used to disable the push buttons for security. Disabling the push buttons prevents undesired tampering with the sensor configuration settings. 1. Connect the sensor’s gray wire. 2. Four-pulse the remote line to enable or disable the push button. - The sensor toggles between enable and disable settings and returns to RUN mode. P/N 55214 Rev.

## **Troubleshooting** If the MINI-BEAM Expert’s Power LED alternately flashes red/green, this indicates a microprocessor memory error. To clear the error, re-teach the sensor or cycle the power ON and OFF and re-teach the sensor. If this does not solve the problem, or if it occurs frequently, replace the sensor. ## **Accessories** ## **Retroreflective Targets** Banner offers a wide selection of high-quality retroreflective targets. See your current Banner Engineering Corp catalog for complete information on available models. Sensing range will vary, according to the retroreflector’s efficiency and reflective area. - For long-range applications: model BRT-77X77C reflector provides a range up to 2 m (6.5'). - For clear object detection (low-contrast applications): reflector model BRT-2X2 is recommended; one comes bundled with each SME312LPC(QD) sensor. - Polarized sensors require corner-cube type retroreflective targets only; reflective tape is not recommended. Before installing retroreflective tape, clean the mounting surface with an isopropyl alcohol wipe. Optional brackets for mounting reflective targets are available. See the Accessories section of your current Banner catalog or our website at _www.bannerengineering.com_ . ## **BRT-2X2** - Square, acrylic target - • Reflectivity factor: 1.0 - Max. temperature: +50 °C (+122 ºF) - Optional brackets are available - Approximate size: 51 mm × 51 mm **==> picture [44 x 51] intentionally omitted <==** **==> picture [221 x 89] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
