*NOTES:
i) 9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix
“W/30”
to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g.,
SM31EL W/30).
ii) A 150 mm (6") long pigtail cable with attached QD connector is available by adding suffix
“QDP”
to the model number of any
MINI-BEAM sensor (e.g.,
SM31ELQDP).
See page 5 for more information.
iii) A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. See page 8 for more information.
iv) Emitters and receivers may be ordered with 0.3 millisecond on/off response by adding suffix
“MHS”
to the model numbers
(e.g.,
SM31EMHS & SM31RMHS).
This modification reduces sensing range (and excess gain).

MINI-BEAM Installation and Alignment
Proper operation of the sensors requires that they be mounted
securely and aligned properly. Excessive movement or vibration
can cause intermittent or false operation due to loss of alignment.
For maximum mechanical stability, final-mount these sensors in
18-mm holes by their threaded barrels or use a mounting bracket
(see page 6).
1) Begin with the emitter mounted securely in place. For
small-parts counting applications, stretch a string
between the emitter and receiver lenses to ensure that the
sensing beam will pass through the center of the sensing
location. For less critical applications, the receiver may be
initially positioned by line-of-sight placement. Mount the
receiver, leaving a means for movement.
2) Apply power to the emitter and receiver, and advance the
receiver’s 15-turn GAIN control to maximum (clockwise
end of rotation). The GAIN control is clutched at both
ends to avoid damage, and will “free-wheel” when either
endpoint is reached.
If the receiver is “seeing” the emitter’s light beam, the
receiver alignment LED should be “on”. Move the receiver
up-down-right-left (include angular rotation) to obtain the
fastest receiver LED pulse rate. If a pulse is not
observable (too fast to count), reduce the GAIN control
(counterclockwise rotation) to obtain a countable pulse
rate of one to five beats per second. Note: to aid
alignment at short ranges, it may help to further reduce
the strength of the light signal by temporarily masking
the emitter and/or receiver lens with tape or a sheet of
paper.
3) Repeat the alignment motions after each GAIN reduction.
When you have found the receiver orientation that
produces the fastest pulse rate, mount the receiver solidly
in that position. Remove any masking material, and
increase the receiver GAIN to maximum. Test the system
by placing the object to be detected into the sensing
position. The receiver LED indicator should go “off”. If it
does not go “off”, the cause is probably either “flooding”
or “burn-through”.
Flooding
occurs when a portion of the effective beam
passes
around
the object to be sensed and activates the
receiver. Check that the object completely breaks the
beam, and that the beam is centered on the object. Add
apertures, if necessary, to tailor the effective beam to the
size or profile of the object being sensed.
Burn-through
refers to a portion of the emitter’s light energy passing
through
a thin or translucent object and activating the
receiver. Try sensing at a reduced GAIN setting or
consider an alternative sensing scheme.

9 meter (30') cable
Description
All MINI-BEAM sensors may be ordered with an integral 9 m (30')
cable in place of the standard 2 m (6.5') cable
Standard dc MINI-BEAM sensors with 1 millisecond output response may
be modified for 0.3 millisecond (300 µs) response.
NOTE: Faster response comes at the expense of lower excess gain.
Also, operating temperature range becomes -20º to +50ºC (-4º to +122ºF)
All MINI-BEAMs may be built
with a 150 mm (6") long
integral cable which is
terminated with the
appropriate QD connector.

Apertures
Opposed mode MINI-BEAM sensors may be fitted with apertures which narrow or shape the effective beam of the sensor to more closely match
the size or profile of the object to be sensed. A common example is the use of “line” or “slit” type aperture when wire or thread is be sensed.
Each model contains 20 apertures.
