SM303EQ1 (micro-type QD fitting).
Receivers; solid-state ac output:
Model SM30AW3R = light-operate (6-1/2 foot attached cable)

Model SM30RW3R = dark-operate (6-1/2 foot attached cable)
Model SM30RW3RQ1 = dark-operate (micro-type QD fitting)
Light operate models: Output conducts when the receiver sees the emitter's
modulated light source.

On-state voltage drop 3V at 300 mA ac; 2V at 15 mA ac.
Response time: 16 milliseconds "on"; 8 milliseconds "off"; independent of
signal strength. No false pulse on power-up (false pulse protection circuit

Repeatability 2 milliseconds; independent of signal strength.
Specifications and Model Listings
These are economical opposed mode sensor pairs in leakproof (NEMA 6P rated) 30-
mm threaded barrel VALOX® housings. Their size, shape, leakproof construction,
mounting options, and price make them ideally suited for use in applications which
undergo high-pressure washdown, such as car washes and food processing.
SM30 Series EZ-BEAM ac opposed mode pairs operate from 20 to 250V ac. The
receiver's solid-state output is capable of switching up to a 300-milliamp continuous
load. Receivers are available with either light-operate or dark-operate output
configuration. See Specifications section, below, for model listing. Any receiver
may be paired with any emitter. Emitters and receivers must be ordered separately.
Receivers have a red LED indicator that glows steadily whenever the receiver "sees"
the modulated light from the emitter and flashes to indicate marginal excess gain (1-
1.5x) in the light condition. The LED is internally mounted to maintain the integrity
of the leakproof design, and is visible both through the front of the lens and through
a sealed window on the side of the barrel near the lens.
SM30 Series EZ-BEAM ac opposed mode sensor pairs are available with either a 6-
1/2 foot attached PVC-covered cable or a 4-pin
micro-type quick disconnect (QD) connector.
Mating QD cable must be ordered separately
(see Specifications, below).
Electronics are fully epoxy-encapsulated for
maximum resistance to mechanical shock and
vibration. Positive sealing at both ends of the
sensor with no exposed epoxy interfaces elimi-
nates all leakage paths (including capillary leak-
age). The acrylic lens is quad-ring sealed.
The 30-mm threaded barrel housings of SM30
Series EZ-BEAM sensors enable them to be
mounted in 30-mm clearance holes. A wide
selection of mounting brackets is available.

Indicators:
Receivers have internally-mounted red LED that lights steadily whenever the
receiver "sees" the emitter's modulated light source, and flashes to indicate
marginal excess gain (1-1.5x) in the light condition. LED is visible both through
the receiver's lens from the front and through a sealed window on the side of the
barrel near the lens.
Emitters have internally-mounted red LED that lights steadily to indicate AC
POWER ON. LED is visible both through the emitter's lens from the front and
through a sealed window on the side of the barrel near the lens.
Construction:
M30x1.5 threaded VALOX® tubular housing with positive sealing at both
ends. Completely sealed; epoxy-encapsulated circuitry. Quad-ring sealed
acrylic
lens. Exceeds NEMA 6P and IEC IP67 ratings. Two VALOX® jam nuts
provided.
Cabling: 6-1/2 foot long (2 meter) attached PVC-covered 2-wire cable
(emitters) and 3-wire cable (receivers), or 4-pin QD cable as follows:
MQAC-415 cable for models w/Q1 suffix; 12 feet long,
straight micro-type QD connector
MQAC-415RA cable for models with Q1 suffix; 12 feet long,
right-angled micro-type QD connector
Vibration and mechanical shock: meets Mil. Std. 202F requirements.
Method 201A (Vibration: frequency 10 to 60 Hz, max., double amplitude 0.06-
inch, maximum acceleration 10G). Method 213B conditions H & I (Shock:
75G with unit operating; 100G for non-operation).
Operating temperature range: -40° to +70°C (-40° to 158°F).
Maximum relative humidity 90% at 50°C (non-condensing).
The model SMB30A right-angled mounting bracket (not shown)
has a curved mounting slot for versatility and orientation. The
SM30 Series sensor mounts to the bracket using a jam nut (supplied
with the sensor). The curved mounting slot has clearance for 1/4-
inch screws. Bracket material is 11-gauge stainless steel.
The model SMB30S swivel-mount bracket (below, left) offers
the ultimate in flexibility and convenience. This bracket mounts by
its base. The SM30 threads into the adjustable captive "ball" of the
bracket, which locks snugly in position when two clamping bolts
are tightened. Bracket material is black VALOX®. Hardware is
stainless steel, and mounting bolts are included.
The model SMB30C split clamp (not shown) mounts to a flat
surface and grips the SM30 sensor by its threaded barrel. This
bracket is similar to the SMB30S, but without the adjustable ball.
SM30 Series sensors may also be mounted in a 30-mm clear-
ance hole, using the supplied jam nuts.

WARNING These photoelectric presence
sensors do NOT include the self-checking redun-
dant circuitry necessary to allow their use in person-
nel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunc-
tion 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.
Quick Disconnect fitting adds .35" (9 mm) in overall length to QD models.
QD models require Quick Disconnect cable (order separately; see Specifica-
tions section for information).

NOTE:
Receivers SM30AW3R and
SM30AW3RQ1 are light-
operate. Output conducts when
the receiver sees the emitter's
modulated beam.
Receivers SM30RW3R and

operate. Output conducts when
the receiver does not see the
emitter's modulated beam.
Any receiver may be paired
with any emitter (SM303E or
SM303EQ1).
