## **VS3 Series Retroreflective Mode Sensors** 

_Miniature self-contained sensors_ 

## ~~**VS3 Series Retroreflective Mode Sensor Features**~~ 

- Extremely compact self-contained miniature sensor 

- Coaxial optics eliminate “blind” area at close range 

- Visible red sensing beam (both polarized and non-polarized versions) 

- Range to supplied retroreflector is 0 to 250 mm (up to 10") 

- 10 to 30V dc operation 

- Choice of integral cable or quick-disconnect connector 

- 3-wire hookup; output load capacity to 50 mA 

- Choose models with NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) output 

- Choose dark- or light-operate models 

User Application Notes: 

- The VS3...XLP series should be used for general sensing applications like packages, small parts, mirror-like surfaces, or documents. They are most effective when used with the supplied micro-prism reflector. 

- When using glass bead tape, (e.g., 3M model 6870), non-polarized models (...XLV) must be used. These models should also be considered when a glass lens (as in the LP models) is not  permitted in the sensing environment.

## **VS3 Series Retroreflective Mode** 

## ~~**VS3 Series Overview**~~ 

VS3 Series miniature self-contained sensors are designed for retroreflective sensing in small areas previously accessible only to remote or fiber optic models. Typical applications include mounting on small feeder tracks, packaging machines, and conveyors, where larger sensors will not fit. 

The coaxial optics of the VS3 allow the retroreflective target to be placed as close to the sensor lens as needed – there is no “blind” response area, as is typical of most retroreflective sensors. The VS3 is supplied with a Banner model BRT32X20AM retroreflective target (see right). The specifications shown on page 1 assume use of this target. 

Other retroreflective materials may be substituted. For example, using the standard BRT-3 target, the range becomes 400 mm (16"); standard BRT-THG retroreflective tape yields a 150 mm (6") range. Contact Banner Engineering for sensing performance when using other retroreflective targets.
