Photoelectric sensors
Test the Best Photoelectric Sensors:
SM Series
The SM Series exhibits superior
excess gain. This means that in
equal environments, with equal
levels of contamination, the SM
Series will perform more reliably
over time, with less false trips.

TargetLock: Taking the
Guesswork Out of Alignment
The performance of a sensor
matters little if its misaligned in
the first place. Even if you’ve
never touched a sensor before,
TargetLock helps you setup with
the speed and accuracy of an
expert.
Compact, with
industry-standard
18mm threaded
barrel mounting.
Understanding the Benefits
of Excess Gain
The SM Series redefines
optical performance among
compact photoeyes. When
compared to the competition, Eaton sensors operate
more releably in the presence of dust, humidity and
debris. Higher reliability
means less downtime, less
maintenance, and more
money in your pocket.
If a sensor on your machine
goes down, it can take your
line with it. But what if there
was a sensor smart enough to
notify you of failure before it
happens? The SM Series, with
TargetLock™ marginal gain indication, does just that. As the
sensor detects that its optical
power is diminishing—either due
to contamination or misalignment—the TargetLock indicator
warns of an impending failure.
The intelligence of TargetLock,
combined with best-in-class
sensing power, make the SM
Series a compact photoelectric
sensor you can depend on, day
in and day out.
Excess gain is a measurement
of how much sensing power a
photoelectric sensor has available beyond the power required
to detect an object. An excess
gain of 1.00 at a given range
means there is just enough
sensing power to detect an
object under perfect conditions.
In the real world, there is contamination—dust, dirt, oils, and
debris—that can settle in the
air or the lens and reduce light
transmission. As the level of
contamination gets worse, more
excess gain is needed to push
through contamination in the
environment.
The SM Series provides the
highest excess gain in its operating class. In the chart below, the
SM Series is compared to competitive units in its class.

Throughout the alignment process, an internal microprocessor
constantly measures the signal
strength received, and communicates this through an orange
LED on the top of the unit. This
LED changes from off, to short
flash, to long flash, to solid-on
as you approach optimum alignment with the reflector. It acts
in a similar fashion with diffuse
sensors to help you position the
target at the optimum range for
its size and reflectivity.
Optimizing performance provides a larger buffer against
reliability problems due to dirty
lenses or misalignment that
can occur with impact or vibration over time. When problems
occur, TargetLock alerts you to
necessary maintenance—before
your machine goes down.

Product Description
The SM Series from Eaton
provides the highest optical performance found in the compact
photoelectric sensor class. The
included TargetLock technology
visually confirms the sensor is
positioned to operate with the
highest possible reliability and
also provides diagnostic information during use to inform you
of impending problems, before
they result in equipment downtime.
Beyond TargetLock, the SM
Series includes a number of
features that simplify use. Visible
sensing beams on all models
show you exactly where the
sensor is pointing. The durable
housing features multiple mounting options to easily fit on your
equipment, even in the tightest
spaces. Bright LED status indicators are visible from all angles.
Comprehensive electrical protections—overvoltage, reverse
polarity, short circuit—reduce
the change of damage.

Sensor will ignore a 90% reflectance white card at—and beyond—this range.
This family is also available in AC/DC (18-264V AC, 18-50V DC) configuration. To specify an AC/DC model, simply substitute the H in the model num-
ber with a G (for example, E65-SMPR3-HL would become E65-SMPR3-GL). For a complete model selection table, see the Sensing Solutions Catalog
(CA08100010E) available online at www.eaton.com/sensors and orderable from Eaton’s Literature Fulfillment Center at 800-957-7050.
This family is also available with 4-pin micro connectors. To specify an micro connector model, simply add a D to the end of the model number (for exam-
ple, E65-SMPR3-HL would become E65-SMPR3-HLD). For a complete model selection table, see the Sensing Solutions Catalog (CA08100010E) available
