MINI-BAM Features * Note regarding Light/Dark operate switch: Turn switch fully clockwise for light operate (sensor outputs conduct when sensing light is received) Turn switch fully counterclockwise for dark operate (sensor outputs conduct when sensing light is not received) 15 Turn Gain Adjustment and Light/Dark Operate witch* Gasketed Acrylic Cover Red LD Lights when the sensor's output is conducting MINI-BAM Fiber Information 1) Install the O-ring (supplied with the fiber) on each fiber end, as shown in the drawing. 2) While pressing the fiber ends firmly into the ports on the front of the sensor, slide the U-shaped retaining clip (supplied with the sensor) into the slot in the sensor s barrel, until it snaps into place. Retaining Clip O-ring Lens Attachment Lenses are sometimes added to fiber optic assemblies for extending opposed mode sensing range. Banner ofers the following lens assemblies for use with fiber optic assemblies which have 5/16-24 threaded sensing tips (e.g. fiber model IT23): Model Lens ize Focal Length Housing Notes L9 1 (1/2 ) 1 (1/2 ) Aluminum uitable for all but highly corrosive environments Maximum operating temperature is 1º C (212º F) uitable for all but highly corrosive environments nd of Fiber Optic Bundle Lens Housing L16F 25 mm (1 ) 44 mm (1.7 ) Delrin L16FAL 25 mm (1 ) 44 mm (1.7 ) Aluminum Lens Focus Focal Length of Lens Illuminate Opposite nd 5/16" Threaded ensing Tip L16F 25 mm (1 ) 44 mm (1.7 ) tainless teel uitable for all environments Lenses are most efficient when they are located slightly beyond their focal length distance from the sensing end of the fiber optic bundle. The easiest way to focus a lens is to treat it like a magnifying glass. Illuminate the fiber optic bundle at the threaded end of the fiber optic assembly by directing the opposite end toward a visible light source (e.g. - an incandenscent bulb, visible LD, sunlight, etc.). Thread the lens onto the fiber optic assembly until the end of the fiber optic bundle comes into sharp focus under the lens. Then, back off (unthread) the lens assembly from the point of sharpest focus by one to three full turns. The illuminated bundle should now appear slightly blurred. This is the optimum setting, and the lens may be secured in position using one of the jam nuts provided. Refer to the drawing above. page 2

QD cables are ordered separately. ee page 5. Temperature: -2 to +7 C (-4 to +158 F) Maximum Relative Humidity: 9% at 5 C (non-condensing) Application Notes i) ac MINI-BAMs 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 Certifications VALOX is a registered trademark of General lectric Company page 3
