Banner Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor Block, 5 m Detection Range, NPN/PNP Output, IP67 Rating

Banner SM312LVQD Retroreflective Photoelectric Sensor Block features a robust design ideal for precise object detection in automation, manufacturing, conveyor systems, and safety applications. Operating with a 10 to 30 V DC supply, this sensor uses a LED light source and a compact block form factor integrating transmitter and receiver to conserve space.

It offers a 5 m detection range, making it well suited for small-scale industrial implementations where reliable sensing is essential. Its IP67-rated reinforced thermoplastic housing protects the sensor against dust ingress and the effects of temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter, ensuring reliable operation in harsh environments.

The sensor features a quick 1 ms response time, supporting high-speed process control and productivity enhancement. Additional integrated protections like transient voltage and reverse polarity safeguards prevent downtime and equipment damage.

Users can toggle between light-on and dark-on output modes to optimize detection in diverse ambient lighting conditions. The sensor is compatible with NPN and PNP output types, providing flexibility to interface with a wide range of industrial controllers.

Mounting is facilitated by screws, allowing stable installation in automotive manufacturing lines, conveyor systems, and safety door mechanisms. The product carries CE and CSA certifications, underscoring its compliance with international safety and quality standards.

Package contents include the sensor unit and a reflector for immediate deployment of retroreflective detection. This MINI-BEAM SM312 Series sensor offers precise, low-contrast sensitivity adjustments and is well-suited for object registration, baggage handling, and bottle conveying applications in industrial automation environments.
