Self-contained AC-operated Convergent Mode Sensors
• Compact, modulated, self-contained convergent mode
sensors for 24-240V ac operation
• Produces a precise 1.3 mm (0.05 in) diameter sensing spot
at a focus point 16 mm (0.65 in) from the lens surface
(model SM2A312CV) or a 3.0 mm (0.12 in) sensing spot at
43 mm (1.70 in) focus (model SM2A312CV2)
• Switch-selectable for light operate or dark operate
• SPST SCR solid-state output switches up to 300mA; low
leakage current and saturation voltage
• Rugged, epoxy-encapsulated construction: meets NEMA
standards 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 4X, 12 and 13; IEC IP67
• Physically and electrically interchangeable with 18 mm
barrel-type photoelectrics

For Standard MINI-BEAMs:
i) 9 m (30 ft) cables are available by adding suffix
“W/30”
to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g. -
SM2A312CV W/30).
ii) A 150 mm (6 in.) long pigtail cable with attached QD connector is available by adding suffix
“QDP”
to the model number of any
MINI-BEAM sensor (e.g. -
SM2A312CVQDP).
See page 5 for more information.
iii) A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. See page 5 for more information.

MINI-BEAM Installation and Alignment
Proper operation of the SM2A312CV or SM2A312CV2 sensor requires that
it be mounted securely and aligned properly. In some applications,
excessive movement or vibration can result in intermittent or false
operation caused by loss of alignment. For best results, final-mount the
sensor in an 18mm-hole by its threaded barrel or use a mounting bracket
(see page 6).
Begin with the sensor at the approximate position where it will be
mounted. With power applied to the circuit and with the sensor set for
“light operate”, direct the sensor’s visible red spot at the object
approximately 16 mm (0.65 in) (for model SM2A312CV) or 43 mm (1.7
in) (for model SM2A312CV2) directly in front of the lens. Move the sensor
very slightly toward or away from the object while observing the red LED
indicator on the back of the sensor. Note the near and far points at which
sensing occurs (the range of distance over which the LED remains lit).
Mount the sensor at a point approximately midway in the range. This
should correspond to the point at which the red sensing spot on the object
appears most sharply defined. Mount the sensor at this position and
distance.

i) ac MINI-BEAMs may be destroyed from overload conditions
ii) 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
iii) 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
