PD45 Series PicoDot®
Printed in USA 10/03 P/N 115700
Polarized Retroreflective and Convergent Laser Sensors
Features
• Compact and lightweight; ideal for use on robotic end effectors
• Class 2 laser diode light source.
• Convergent beam models have precise, high-energy sensing spot at focus, available
in four focal lengths: 50 mm (2"), 100 mm (4"), 200 mm (8"), and 300 mm (12").
• Retroreflective models have precise, narrow beam; excellent for sensing the presence
of tiny parts at close range, small parts at medium ranges and for accurate sensing
over long distances.
• Fast, 0.2 millisecond sensing response for high-speed sensing or counting.
• 10 to 30V dc operation; choice of NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing) complementary
solid state output.
• Choose models with 2 m (6.5') or 9 m (30') unterminated cable, or with 150 mm (6")

Retroreflective-Mode Models
P
Visible Red; Class 2 laser; 650 nm
Excellent for applications where high sensing power and small beam size are
important. Operates over sensing ranges typically accomplished only by conventional
opposed-mode photoelectrics; uses a special filter to polarize the emitted light, filtering
out unwanted reflections from shiny objects.
* 9 m (30') cables are available by adding the suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., PD45VN6LLP W/30). Models with
QD connectors require an optional mating cable; see page 6.
** Tested using a BRT-36x40BM retro target (included with each sensor). Actual range depends on the efficiency and size of the retroreflective
target used. Some targets have produced ranges up to 39.6 m (130'); see page 8.

WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications.
A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current Banner Safety
Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
