Banner Engineering SM312FMHSQD Sensor

SM312FMHSQD is Banner Engineering’s MINI-BEAM fiber optic amplifier in the DC voltage series. This infrared, high‑speed glass-fiber optic amplifier accepts 10–30 V DC and drives a fiber optic sensing setup where the fiber termination is glass, enabling sensing through optical fibers rather than direct line‑of‑sight. It delivers a bipolar output (1 NPN and 1 PNP) through a 4‑pin M12 quick‑disconnect, with a minimum response time of 0.3 ms for rapid detection. The rugged rectangular thermoplastic housing is designed for M18 mounting, and the unit carries IP67 protection to withstand dust and water exposure in harsh environments. Operating temperature ranges from -20 to 70 °C, with humidity ratings up to 90% at 50 °C. The infrared emitter/fiber system is typically around 880 nm, and the overall range is fiber‑dependent, varying with the chosen fiber length and type. As part of Banner’s MINI‑BEAM DC voltage lineup, the SM312FMHSQD serves as the fiber‑optic amplification stage for compatible sensors and amplifiers, enabling compact, high‑speed detection in automation, packaging, and manufacturing applications where direct sensing is impractical. The model emphasizes quick field wiring via an integral M12 quick disconnect and aligns with Banner’s compact, high‑speed fiber optic sensing solutions for precise object detection in constrained spaces.
