WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel
protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This device does not include the self-checking redundant
circuitry necessary to allow its use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

1 Standard 2 m (6.5 ft) cable models are listed. To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable model, add suffix “W/30” to the model number (for example,
SME312LV W/30.) To order the 5-pin Euro-style QD models, add suffix “QD” (for example, SME312LVQD). Models with a QD connector require a
mating cable.
2 Sensing ranges vary according to the efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector(s) used. (Retroreflective tape is not recommended for use
with Clear Object Detection models.) See Accessories and the Banner Engineering catalog for more information.
