ETC SM512

SM512 Series Diffuse Mode Sensors
DC sensors with metal housings: SM512DB, DBX, LBD, and LBDX
Banner SM512 Series dc diffuse mode sensors are designed for
reliable performance in especially hostile industrial environments.
These sensors have totally-encapsulated circuitry within die-cast
metal housings for superior resistance to moisture and physical
abuse. Models include: SM512DB, SM512DBX, SM512LBD,
and SM512LBDX.
Model SM512DB has a sensing range of 8 inches and a response
time of 1 millisecond (ms). Model SM512DBX has greater range
(15 inches) and 10 ms response time. Models SM512LBD and
LBDX are divergent diffuse sensors with a wide field of view,
which makes them ideal for sensing of transparent objects. See the
individual product descriptions (page 2) for more information.
SM512 Series sensors have complementary NPN transistor outputs (one normally open and the other normally closed), which
connect directly to Banner MICRO-AMP and MAXI-AMP logic
modules, as well as to most logic gates, small relays, and other
similar dc loads.

APPLICATION WARNINGS:
Outputs will not directly interface TTL logic, due to the reverse-polarity
protection diode. Contact the factory for TTL interfacing instructions.
The short-circuit protection may de-energize the outputs with certain
incandescent light bulb or capacitive loads. Contact the factory if these
loads are anticipated.
WARNING These photoelectric presence sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use
in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or a de-energized sensor output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition which could
lead to serious injury or death.
Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA and ANSI machine safety
standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, and they must NOT be used
as sensing devices for personnel protection.

Model SM512DB is a short-range proximity mode sensor for applications requiring fast response time, such as leading-edge
detection in carton-flap gluing installations or presence sensing for triggering high-speed ink-jet type imprinters.
It is totally encapsulated and its lenses are hermetically sealed to the case, making it completely leakproof. It should be used
to sense any matte-finish material such as paper, corrugated cardboard, wood, dull plastics, or painted metal surfaces. It should
not be used to sense transparent objects or those with very shiny surfaces, (unless the position of the shiny surface can be reliably
maintained at an angle of 90 degrees to the beam). It will sense very small parts, but at greatly reduced ranges: a toothpick, for
example, would be reliably sensed at a distance of up to about 1 inch.

Model SM512DBX is a relatively high power, long range proximity mode sensor. It has several times the excess gain of the
SM512DB, but at the cost of slower response time. It should be used in all proximity mode applications where it is certain that
the 10-millisecond response time is not so slow as to cause the sensor to "miss" the object (the sensor must also see the absence
of the object for at least 10 milliseconds in order to turn off). An important advantage of the SM512DBX is that the repeatability
of the response time is extremely good (0.3 milliseconds), so it is sometimes possible to use this slower sensor in precise positioning
controls. The range of the SM512DBX may be extended to 24 inches by using the optional model L52 lens block.

Models SM512LBD and SM512LBDX are short-range divergent diffuse mode sensors with an
extremely wide field of view. Because of their wide angle of view, they will reliably sense
transparent objects such as glass or plastic bottles and clear cellophane or poly bags at distances of
up to 2 or 3 inches (respectively), even when the object is at an angle to the sensing beam. Most other
proximity mode sensors will sense these objects (at even greater ranges) if the object is perpendicular
to the sensing beam, but at relative angles of even a few degrees the returned light is reflected off in a
different direction and never returns to the sensor.
Both models are well-suited to applications where the object will appear within a few inches of the sensor, but where a background object
(perhaps more reflective than the object being sensed) makes differentiating between the two difficult. In this respect, the wide angle
optics of these sensors serves the same purpose as a convergent sensor. Note that the SM512LBD is "blind" to objects passing very close
to the lens. The SM512LBD has somewhat lower excess gain but a faster (1 ms) response time. See excess gain curves.

(MPS-15 Chassis)
SM512 Series sensors offer two open collector NPN
outputs in a complementary configuration (one normally open and one normally closed). The green
output wire switches the load when the receiver "sees"
its modulated light source (LIGHT operate). The
white output wire switches in the dark condition
(DARK operate). Both output circuits can switch up
to 1/4 amp.
Most counters, totalizers, rate meters, etc.
accept either output of the SM512s. Hookup
to a battery-powered LCD type is shown
here. For other types, follow the counter's
hookup instructions for an NPN or current
sinking input device.
The output (green or white wire) of SM512

The output of an SM512 series sensor may be used as an input to Banner
MAXI-AMP CL Series logic modules. The MAXI-AMP, when powered by
AC voltage, offers a DC supply with enough capacity to power one SM512
Series sensor. An SM512 Series sensor may also be used as an input to the
auxiliary input of a CL5 module.

These modifications are available for SM512 Series sensors. They are not stocked, but are available on a "quote" basis:
HIGH SPEED Modification (model Suffix "MHS")
SM512 Series sensors with normal response speed of 1 millisecond
may be modified for faster response. Modification "MHS" offers
300 microsecond (0.3 millisecond) on and off response time.
Repeatability of "MHS" models is 0.1 millisecond.
CABLE LENGTH Modification (30-foot cable)
Any of the SM512 Series sensors may be built with a cable longer than
the standard 6-foot length. The most readily available length is 30 feet.
Lengths longer than 30 feet may also be quoted.
