S30 Sensors – ac-Voltage Series
Self-contained, ac-operated sensors
* Standard 2 m (6.5') cable models are listed.
• 9 m (30') cable: add suffix “W/30” (e.g., S303E W/30).
• 4-pin Micro-style QD models: add suffix “Q1” (e.g., S303EQ1). A model with a QD connector
requires a mating cable.
WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition.
Consult your current Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for
personnel protection.

P/N 116158
Supply Voltage and Current
20 to 250V ac (50/60 Hz). Average current: 20 mA
Peak current: 200 mA at 20V ac, 500 mA at 120V ac, 750 mA at 250V ac
Supply Protection Circuitry
Protected against transient voltages
Output Configuration
SPST solid-state ac switch; Three-wire hookup; Choose light operate or dark
operate models
Light Operate: Output conducts when sensor sees its own (or the emitter’s)
modulated light
Dark Operate: Output conducts when the sensor sees dark
Output Rating
300 mA maximum (continuous);
Fixed-Field Models: derate 5 mA/°C above +50°C (+122°F)
Inrush Capability 1 amp for 20 milliseconds, non-repetitive
OFF-state leakage current: < 100 microamps
ON-state saturation voltage: 3V at 300 mA ac; 2V at 15 mA ac
Output Protection Circuitry
Protected against false pulse on power-up
Output Response Time
Opposed Mode: 16 milliseconds ON, 8 milliseconds OFF
Other Models: 16 milliseconds ON and OFF
NOTE: 100 millisecond delay on power-up
Repeatability
Opposed Mode: 2 milliseconds
Other Models: 4 milliseconds
Repeatability and response are independent of signal strength.
Indicators
Two LEDs (Green and Yellow)
Green ON steady: power to sensor is ON
Yellow ON steady: sensor sees light
Yellow flashing: excess gain marginal (1 to 1.5x) in light condition
Construction
PBT polyester housing; polycarbonate (opposed mode) or acrylic lens
Environmental Rating
Leakproof design rated NEMA 6P, DIN 40050 (IP69K)
Connections
2 m (6.5') attached cable, or 4-pin Micro-style quick-disconnect fitting
Operating Conditions
Temperature: -40° to +70°C (-40° to +158°F);
Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50°C (non-condensing)
Vibration and Mechanical Shock
All models meet Mil. Std. 202F requirements. Method 201A (Vibration;
frequency 10 to 60 Hz, max., double amplitude 0.06" acceleration 10G).
Method 213B conditions H&I (Shock: 75G with unit operating; 100G for
non-operation)
