Their high excess gain (350 foot range) provides enough sensing power to penetrate the heaviest contamination (see Excess Gain Curve). Electronics are fully epoxy-encapsulated for maximum resistance to mechanical shock and vibration. Positive sealing at both ends, with no exposed epoxy interfaces, eliminates all leak paths (including capillary leakage). Construction exceeds NEMA 6P (IEC IP 67) standards. Sensors are approximately 1.2 inches in diameter by 4 inches long. SMI30 series dc receivers operate from 10 to 30 V dc. 

SMI30 Series sensors are certified as being intrinsically safe when used with approved intrinsic safety barriers. SMI30 Series sensors are suitable for intrinsically safe use in hazardous locations as listed in the Approvals table (see _SMI30 Specifications on page 5_ ). SMI30 Series sensors are also certified as non-incendive devices when used in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, C, and D locations without intrinsic safety barriers. 

SMI30 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 (or one dual barrier), the sink current is 15 mA. The two-wire hookup, which requires one barrier, sinks ≤ 10 mA (OFF state) and ≥ 20 mA (ON state). 

Intrinsic safety barriers and current trip point amplifier model CI3RC2 are also available (see _Accessories on page 7_ ).

SMI30 Series receivers have a red LED alignment indicator that lights whenever the receiver "sees" its modulated light source. Emitters have a red LED to indicate "power on". All LED indicators are mounted internally to preserve the waterproof integrity of the sensor housing, and are visible from both the side and front of the sensor through the sensor's quad-ring sealed acrylic lens. 

The innovative circuitry used in SMI30 Series emitters and receivers provides the best noise immunity of any self-contained opposed mode sensor pair. For applications where optical crosstalk between sensors might be a problem, SMI30 Series emitters and receivers are available with a choice of three modulation frequencies (frequency "A", frequency "B", or frequency "C"). This makes it possible to use high-powered sensor pairs of different frequencies in close proximity to each other without crosstalk. (NOTE: frequency "A" is standard; frequencies "B" and "C" are available by special order. An emitter and its receiver must be of the same modulation frequency.) See the models table for a summary of models. 

Each unit is supplied with two hexagonal jam nuts. A 30 mm clearance hole is required for mounting, and mounting bracket models SMB30MM, SMB30S, and SMB30C are available. All models have a built-in standard quick-disconnect ("QD") connector. "QD" models mate with 12-foot long model SMICC-312 or 30-foot long model SMICC-330 mini-type QD cable (sold separately from sensor).

## Wiring Connections 

The SMI30 Series sensor is 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. SMI30 Series sensors may be wired using Banner Current Amplifier Control Module CI3RC2. Note from the wiring diagrams 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 (SMI30EQD, 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 3-wire 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 24 V dc, then the maximum resistance is 560 ohms. If the supply voltage is 18 V 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.

## APG30S Aperture Kit 

These new water-tight apertures for SM30 Series sensors may be used to size and shape the effective beam or to limit excess gain for avoiding "burn-through" effects. Apertures are sold as a kit, which includes a thread-on stainless steel housing, a flat glass lens, two quad-ring seals, and 3 round and 3 slotted aperture disks. 

The stainless steel aperture housing functions equally well with VALOX® and stainless steel sensor models. The glass lens is useful for protecting the SM30's acrylic lens against substances that are hostile to acrylics, such as concentrated acids and alkalis and industrial solvents. Aperture sizes include the following: 

- Round: .06", .12", and .70" diameter 

- Slotted: .04", .10", and .20" wide 

## **APG30S** 

Kit includes round apertures of 0.05 in, 0.12 in, and 0.70 in diameter; slotted widths of 1 mm (0.04 in), 0.10 in and 0.20 in.

**Figure 4:** Hookup Using One Dual-Channel Barrier 

Both sensors of the opposed mode pair are wired to model CI3RC2 using the two-wire hookup, which requires the use of two single channel or one dual channel intrinsic safety barrier(s). In this mode, the SMI30 receiver sinks less than or equal to 10 milliamps in the "OFF" state and greater than or equal to 20 milliamps in the "ON" state. The CI3RC2 senses this current change and switches internal relays that are easily wired to most loads and/or additional control circuitry. 

Model CI3RC2 is powered by either 105 to 130 or 210 to 250 V ac. The CI3RC2 supplies power to operate both the emitter and receiver. 

Inputs are protected against short circuits. Built-in circuit diagnostics indicate an overload of either input by pulsing an LED status light. 

The CI3RC2 module has two isolated output switches. There is a 5 amp rated SPDT electromechanical relay, and a solid-state transistor switch which may be used for logic-level interfaces. For more information, refer to the datasheet packed with the CI3RC2.
