WARNING . . . Not a Safety Device
These remote sensors and component amplifiers do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow
their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor or amplifier failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or a
de-energized amplifier output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as a safety device may create an unsafe condition which
could lead to serious injury or death.
Only MICRO-SCREEN™, MINI-SCREEN®, MULTI-SCREEN®, MACHINE-GUARD™and PERIMETER-GUARD™Systems, and other systems so
designated, are designed to meet OSHA and ANSI machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner
sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, and they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.

PICO-AMP Miniature Remote Sensing System
PICO-AMP MD14 Amplifier Description
Amplifier Features
Operating indicators and selectors are located under the transparent, hinged cover for
convenient adjustment.
Light or Dark Operate Selection
Choose light or dark operate (the output energizes when the light condition is sensed
if set to light operate; it energizes when the dark condition is sensed if set to dark
operate).
Sensitivity Adjustment
Amplifier gain is increased with clockwise rotation of the 12-turn Sensitivity
Adjustment, using the small, flat-blade screwdriver included with the MD14 (or
equivalent). The Sensitivity Adjustment is clutched at both ends of travel to prevent
damage.
LED Indicators
The green LED lights whenever power is applied to the MD14. It will flash if either
output becomes overloaded.
The yellow LED lights when the MD14 senses its own modulated light. It will flash if
the received light signal strength becomes marginal (excess gain between 1.0 and
1.5x). It lights steadily for received light signal strengths greater than 1.5x excess
gain.
Output OFF-delay
A two-position switch selects either no output delay or a 50-millisecond pulse
stretcher (OFF-delay). The OFF-delay is beneficial in applications where a very short
sensing event might be missed due to slow response of the load or input connected
to one or both sensor outputs.
Frequency Selection
A four-position switch selects one of three modulation frequencies, or Auto Frequency
mode. The multiple frequencies allow up to three PICO-AMP sensors to be placed
together, in close proximity, without mutual interference (without optical “crosstalk”).
Auto Frequency mode is recommended for all applications (even when crosstalk
potential is not an issue), except in certain mutual interference situations where the
strength of either the intended or interfering light signal is near the switching
threshold. In these cases, the best sensing performance is achieved by manually
setting interfering sensors to alternate modulation frequencies.
NOTE:
1) The strength of an interfering light signal may be substantial, but should not
exceed the strength of the intended light signal.
2) The MD14 is not designed to ignore the light from other modulated sensor
families.
3) Manual frequency selections increase sensing hysteresis.
4) Auto Frequency mode defaults to Freq 1 at power-up.

Mounting the Amplifier to DIN Rail
The MD14 amplifier is made to fit securely onto 35 mm DIN rail. To mount the
amplifier, simply slide the bottom of the housing onto one lip of the DIN rail; then
push forward and down to snap the housing onto the other lip. (See Figure 2.)
To remove the MD14 from the DIN rail, push forward to retract the spring clip and lift
the front lip away from the rail.

SP3/SP8 Remote Sensor Hookups
Mounting the Sensors
Opposed-mode sensors are shipped in connected pairs (one emitter and one
receiver), with a 6' cable attached; the cable comes split to 6"; it may be split further
as needed to allow sufficient sensor separation.
The sensors may be through-mounted to a wall using the hardware included with the
sensors. Using the provided 8 mm long screws, SP3 sensors may mount to a
maximum wall thickness of 4.0 mm (0.16"); SP8 sensors may mount to a maximum
wall thickness of 3.2 mm (0.13"). If mounted to the threaded accessory mounting
bracket, only the screws need be used.
