 VALU-BEAM 915 Series
Sensors with Electromechanical Relay Output
VALU-BEAM 915 Series sensors have all of the ruggedness
and versatility of VALU-BEAM sensors, but with an internal
single-pole, double-throw electromechanical output relay.

SMW915 Series sensors operate from 12-28V ac or dc. SMA-

915 Series sensors operate from 90 to 130V ac; SMB915 Series
sensors from 210 to 250V ac. Remaining specifications (below)
are identical for all three series.

Specifications: SMW915, SMA915, and SMB915

Series VALU-BEAM Sensors
SUPPLY VOLTAGE (SMW915 series): 12 to 28V ac or dc at 50mA
maximum, exclusive of load, except for SMA91E and ESR emitters,
which operate from 10-250V ac (50-60Hz) or dc (10mA max.).
SUPPLY VOLTAGE (SMA915 series): 90 to 130V ac (50-60Hz),
20mA maximum, exclusive of load, except for SMA91E and ESR
emitters, which operate from 10-250V ac (50-60Hz) or dc (10mA
max.). ADJUSTMENTS: SENSITIVITY control on rear of sensor allows
precise gain setting (turn clockwise to increase gain).
SUPPLY VOLTAGE (SMB915 series): 210 to 250V ac (50-60Hz),
20mA maximum, exclusive of load, except for SMA91E and ESR INDICATOR LED: top-mounted red LED indicator lights when-
emitters, which operate from 10-250V ac (50-60Hz) or dc (10mA ever the sensor sees a "light" condition. Models SMA91E and
max.). SMA91ESR emitters have a visible-red "tracer beam" which indicates
"power on" and enables easy "line-of-sight" alignment.
OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: one internal "form C" (single- pole
double-throw) electromechanical relay. OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: -40 to +50 degrees C
(-40 to +122 degrees F).
OUTPUT RATING: max. switching power (resistive load) = 150W,
600VA. Max. switching voltage (resistive load) = 250V ac or 30V dc
(120V ac max. per UL & CSA). Max. switching current (resistive
load) = 5A. Minimum voltage and current = 1 amp at 5V dc, 0.1 amp
at 24V dc. Peak switching voltage = 750Vac (transient suppression Functional Schematic
recommended). Mechanical life of relay = 10,000,000 operations. * SMA units: 90-130V ac
SMB units: 210-250V ac
RESPONSE TIME: 20 milliseconds ON and OFF. 100-millisecond SMW units: 12-28V ac or dc
delay on power-up (relay de-energized during this period).
CONSTRUCTION: reinforced black VALOX® housing, totally en-
capsulated, molded acrylic lenses, stainless steel hardware. Meets
NEMA standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 12, and 13.

 VALU-BEAM 990 Series Sensors
with Built-in Totalizing Counter
VALU-BEAM 990 Series sensors boast the same high optical
performance offered by the front-line 912 Series, and also
contain a built-in 6-digit totalizing counter. Sensor models are
available for opposed, retroreflective, and convergent beam
sensing modes. In addition, there are models for use with both
glass and plastic fiberoptics.
A special infrared retroreflective version is available, which is
designed for counting people passing through entry ways. It has
built-in on/off time delays to minimize the chance of multiple
counts.
The 990 Series VALU-BEAM's 6-digit LCD counter is reset
simply by touching the area of the housing shown with the
permanent magnet supplied with the sensor (see dimension
drawing, below). Standard models automatically reset to zero
upon power-up.
Memory backup option: SMA990 Series sensors with internal memory backup for maintaining "count memory" while power is
removed are available by special order. These models will "hold" a count for over 100 hours, and are indicated by the model number
suffix MB (i.e., "SMA990LVMB" is the memory backup version of sensor model SMA990LV). Contact the factory for availibility
and pricing of these models.
SMA990 Series sensors wire directly to either 10 to 250V ac (50/60Hz) or 12 to 115V dc.

OPPOSED Mode Opposed mode sensors have higher excess gain than other models, and therefore
should be used whenever possible. Opposed mode is the most reliable sensing mode
for counting opaque materials. The small size of these sensors makes them ideal for
many conveyor applications, and their small effective beam size (particularly of the
ESR/RSR models) enables them to reliably count relatively small objects. ESR and
RSR models also have a wide beam angle for very forgiving alignment within the
10-foot range. VALU-BEAM opposed mode sensors have a visible red "tracer
beam" which greatly simplifies sensor alignment.

RETROREFLECTIVE A visible-red light beam reduces the potential for false signals from highly reflective
objects ("proxing") and simplifies alignment. The AG (anti-glare) model polarizes
the emitted light and filters out unwanted reflections, making its use possible in
applications otherwise unsuited to retroreflective sensing (and where reduced
excess gain is acceptable). Maximum range with all units is attained when using the
model BRT-3 3" corner cube retroreflector. See the Banner product catalog for
details about available retroreflective materials.

CONVERGENT Mode VALU-BEAM convergent sensors produce a precise .06" diameter visible red
sensing spot at a focus point 1.5" in front of the sensor lens. Due to its very narrow
depth of field, this model excels at counting small objects only a fraction of an inch
away from backgrounds. This convergent sensor may be used for reliable counting

Options and Accesories for SMA990 Series Sensors

Memory Backup ("MB") option: SMA990 Series sensors with internal memory backup for maintaining "count memory"
are available by special order. These models, which will "hold" a count for over 100 hours, are indicated by the model suffix "MB"
(example: the memory backup version of model SMA990LV is "SMA990LVMB"). Contact the factory for availability and
pricing on these models.
Quick Disconnect ("QD") option: The VALU-BEAM QD option allows quick and easy removal or replacement of
VALU-BEAM sensors in the field. QD option VALU-BEAM 990 Series sensors have a 3-pin male connector, built into the
sensor's base, which mates with the model MBCC-312 3-conductor female SO-type quick-disconnect cable (one wire goes
unused). To specify the QD option on a sensor, simply add the letters "QD" to the end of the sensor's model number. (Example:
the QD version of the SMA990FMB is "SMA990FMBQD".) Model MBCC-312 SJT-type cable (12' length) must be ordered
separately. See drawings, page 18.
30-foot cable option: Standard VALU-BEAM sensor models (non-QD types, which are normally supplied with a 6-foot long
PVC-covered cable), may optionally be supplied with a 30-foot PVC-covered cable. Thirty feet is the most readily-available
length; lengths longer than 30 feet may also be quoted.
Accessory Mounting Bracket model SMB900: Accessory mounting bracket model SMB900 has curved mounting
slots for versatility in mounting and orientation. The sensor mounts to the bracket by its threaded base, using a jam nut and lock-
washer (both included). The bracket accommodates both standard and "QD" sensor models. Bracket material is 11-gauge zinc-
plated steel. The curved mounting slots have clearance for 1/4" screws. See drawings, page 20.
Accessory Mounting Bracket model SMB30SM: This is a swivel mounting bracket. The base of the VALU-BEAM
sensor threads into the bracket's captive swivel ball, which is then held firmly in the desired position when the bracket's two
mounting bolts are tightened.

VALU-BEAM "upper covers" consist of a bezel, a lens, and mounting

Upper Covers (lens assemblies) hardware. Depending upon the model of VALU-BEAM in use, they allow
sensing mode and/or sensing range changes in the field.
Table I below lists the various VALU-BEAM sensor types and the upper cover
models they are supplied with. It tells you which upper cover to order for strictly
replacement purposes. VALU-BEAMs are identified by their model number
suffixes, which designate their sensing mode. For example, an SM912LVAG or
SM2A912LVAG sensor uses a model UC-900AG upper cover.
Table II lists the sensing mode and range changes that may be accomplished by
substituting a different upper cover. For example, if you want to convert an F
(fiberoptic) type VALU-BEAM to a D (diffuse) type, order and install upper cover
model UC-900L. The conversions listed are direct model conversions which may
be made simply by changing VALU-BEAM upper cover assemblies. Other
VALU-BEAM upper covers (above). Upper cover model UC- conversions are possible: contact the Banner applications staff with any questions.
900J (on the right in the photo) is a flat, clear Lexan® window which
acts as a dust cover for the lens area when the sensor is mounted

Series sensors. It is sold in packages of 10 pieces.

WARNING VALU-BEAM 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.
