Modulated Amplifiers Specification Sheet

ManualsBrandsBanner ManualsAmplifierMicro-Amp MA3

SUPPLY VOLTAGE: 10 to 30V dc at less than 20 milliamps (ex-

clusive of load); 10% maximum ripple.

OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: two open-collector NPN (current

sinking) transistor (solid-state) switches; one normally open (light

operate) and one normally closed (dark operate); 150 milliamps maxi-

mum, each output. Saturation voltage less than 0.5V dc at 10 milliamp

load. Off-state leakage current less than 1 microamp.

RESPONSE SPEED: 1 millisecond ON and OFF.

REPEATABILITY: 0.3 millisecond.

SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 15 feet (4,5 m) maximum.

ADJUSTMENT: GAIN adjustment (single-turn potentiometer;

adjust with small at-blade screwdriver).

INDICATOR: exclusive Banner Alignment Indicator Device

(AID™) system lights a red LED indicator whenever the sensor "sees"

its own modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the

strength of the received light signal.

CONSTRUCTION*: totally encapsulated plug-in package with

molded VALOX

housing. Gold-ashed connection pins.

OPERATING TEMPERATURE:

0 to +70 degrees C (32 to +158 degrees F).

MICRO-AMP

Model MA3 Specications

Model MA3P has the same specications and performance as the MA3 amplier, except that the MA3P has complementary PNP outputs in

place of the MA3's NPN conguration.

OUTPUT: two PNP transistors, complementary outputs; one normally open (light operate) and one normally closed (dark operate). 150 mil-

liamps maximum, each output. Saturation voltage is less than 1V dc at 10 milliamps. Off-state leakage current is less than 1 microamp.

Banner MICRO-AMP

modules MA3 and MA3P are modulated ampliers designed

for use with the miniature SP100 Series remote sensors. Miniature photoelectric

sensors, such as the SP100s, have traditionally been used as non-modulated devices with

very limited response. These specially-engineered ampliers bring about a dramatic

improvement in the optical performance of miniature remote sensors.

MICRO-AMP modules are powered by 10 to 30 volts dc, and feature the patented

Banner Alignment Indicator Device (AID™) signal strength LED. Sensor sensitivity

is adjustable via a top-mounted GAIN potentiometer. Model MA3 has complemen-

tary current sinking (NPN) outputs; model MA3P has complementary current sourc-

ing (PNP) outputs. Circuitry is epoxy-encapsulated and enclosed in a tough molded

VALOX

housing. Connections may be made to the MICRO-AMP via the optional

RS8 socket/wiring base, or the module may be mounted directly to a printed circuit

board (see page 3).

The small size and the slim ribbon-style connecting cable of SP100 Series sensors

make it possible to use photoelectrics in many situations previously thought to be

impractical or even impossible.

Sensors for use with MA3 and MA3P Modulated Amplifiers Temperature range for all miniature modulated remote sensors is 0 to 70 degrees C (+32 to 158 degrees F). Sensors are epoxy-encapsulated and optics are hermetically sealed. Models/Dimensions SP100E & SP100R Range: 8 inches (20cm) Beam: infrared, 880nm Effective beam: .

MICRO-AMP® System Accessories RS8 Socket The RS8 socket is the most frequently used means of mounting and wiring a MICRO-AMP module. It consists of a socket with two four-terminal connection strips, all wired together onto a PC board. The PC board assembly slides into a 1 inch (25mm) long PVC track which is used to mount the entire assembly. A hold-down screw keys the correct polarity of the module.

MPS-15 and MPS-15-230 Power Supplies The MPS-15 Series power supplies are designed specifically to supply power for the Banner MICRO-AMP series amplifiers and logic modules. They are constructed on small PC boards that are track-mountable for compatibility with other track-mounted MICROAMP components. The MPS-15 includes a socket for a MICRO-AMP amplifier or logic module having current sinking (NPN) output*.
