Overview
Banner SMI30 Series intrinsically safe barrel sensors are extremely rugged and powerful opposed mode infrared sensor pairs designed for the most demanding industrial applications. Their high excess gain (350 foot range) provides enough sensing power to penetrate the heaviest contamination (see Excess Gain Curve). Electronics are fully epoxy-encapsulated for maximum resistance to mechanical shock and vibration. Positive sealing at both ends, with no exposed epoxy interfaces, eliminates all leak paths (including capillary leakage). Construction exceeds NEMA 6P (IEC IP 67) standards. Sensors are approximately 1.2 inches in diameter by 4 inches long. SMI30 series dc receivers operate from 10 to 30 V dc.
