Operating Conditions Temperature: -20 to +70 C (-4 to +158 F) Maximum relative humidity: 90% at 50 C (non-condensing) Application Notes 1.) 912 Series ac sensors can be destroyed from overload conditions. 2.) Use on low voltage requires careful analysis of the load to determine if the leakage current or on-state voltage of the sensor will interfere with proper operation of the load. 3.) The false-pulse protection feature may cause momentary drop-out of the load when the sensor is wired in series or parallel with mechanical switch contacts.

See the Accessories section of your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog for complete information. NOTE: Polarized sensors require corner cube type retroreflective targets. Non-polarized sensors may use any retroreflective target. Replacement Lens Assemblies VALU-BEAM lens assemblies are field-replaceable. In addition, some lenses may be used to convert from one sensing mode to another, or to change the sensing range of a particular sensor. The possible conversions are listed in the table below.
