MICRO-AMP® System The Banner MICRO-AMP® System is a family of miniature dc modulated photoelectric amplifiers and logic modules which offer the same sensing performance as larger, conventional modules. They are the smallest photoelectric control modules ever built, and can fit easily into tight areas of machines or control panels. Built around the concept of an I/O module, they are the perfect photoelectric control device for use with computers or programmable logic controllers (PLCs).
MICRO-AMP® System MA3 and MA3P Modulated Amplifiers Banner MICRO-AMP® modules MA3 and MA3P are modulated amplifiers designed for use with SP100 Series miniature remote sensors. Miniature photoelectric sensors have traditionally been used as non-modulated devices with very limited response. MICRO-AMP amplifiers have a specially-engineered modulated design which brings about a dramatic improvement in the optical performance of miniature remote sensors.
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.

MICRO-AMP® System MA3-4 and MA3-4P Modulated Amplifiers Banner MICRO-AMP® module models MA3-4 and MA3-4P are modulated amplifiers designed for use with the popular family of Banner high-performance remote sensors. When these modulated remote sensors are used with the MA3-4 or MA3-4P, their optical response is the same as when they are used with the larger MAXI-AMP™ CM Series modules. These modules are powered by 10 to 30 volts dc.

MICRO-AMP® System MA4-2 One-Shot Logic Module MICRO-AMP® module MA4-2 is a plug-in one-shot logic module with adjustable pulse length. It is designed as a way to easily add one-shot timing to a MICRO-AMP system which uses an MA3 or MA3-4 amplifier. It may also be used to add a one-shot timer to any current sinking DC device or to a system which offers a contact closure output.
MICRO-AMP® System MA4G 4-input Gate Logic Module MICRO-AMP® module MA4G is a 10 to 30V dc, plug-in, 4-input logic gate module. It offers three selectable logic modes: "AND", "NOR", and "X-NOR" (exclusive "NOR"). In the AND gate mode, the output(s) will change state when all four inputs are low simultaneously. The NOR logic mode requires that all four inputs be high at the same time for the output(s) to change state.
MICRO-AMP® System MA4L Latch Logic Module MICRO-AMP® model MA4L offers two latching logic modes. It can be latched and unlatched with low-going signals to its SET and RESET inputs. It also will function as an edge-triggered "D" flip-flop latch when signals are presented to its INPUT pin. The edge-triggered latch may be interrogated with a second signal at the INHIBIT or the RESET pin. In this mode, the MA4L is very useful in inspection/rejection applications.
MICRO-AMP® System MA5 Delay Logic Module MICRO-AMP® model MA5 is a plug-in delay logic module with adjustable delay timing. It is designed as a way to easily add an ON DELAY or an OFF DELAY timer to a MICRO-AMP system which uses an MA3 or MA3-4 amplifier. It may also be used to add a delay timer to any current sinking dc device or to a system which offers a contact closure output. A low-going logic INPUT signal at pin #7 of the module activates an ON DELAY timer.
MICRO-AMP® System MPC3 Miniature Modulated Amplifier for direct PC-board mounting Model MPC3 is a modulated LED photoelectric amplifier which utilizes custom CMOS integrated circuitry.

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.
MICRO-AMP® Accessories Sockets RS8 RS8K 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. The RS8K is a kit of parts which comprise the socket portion of the RS8 assembly.
