Printed in U

P/N 03416 Rev. )

Construction: Reinforced molded VALOX

housing, molded acrylic

lenses, o-ring and quad-ring gasketed components. Electronic components

are fully epoxy encapsulated. NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13.

Operating Temperature: -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F).

Sensitivity Adjustment: Easily accessible, located on top of the sensor

head beneath a watertight gasketed screw-cover. 15-turn clutched control;

rotate clockwise to increase sensitivity.

Alignment Indicator: Red LED on top of sensor head. Banner's ex-

clusive AID™ circuit (*US patent no. 4356393) lights the LED whenever

the sensor sees its own modulated light source, and pulses the LED at a

rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal.

False Pulse Suppression on Power-up: 100ms delay on power-

up.

Response Time and Repeatability: Specications to follow in indi-

vidual product descriptions are independent of signal strength.

Banner MAXI-BEAM

sensors are highly versatile, self-contained, modular-

ized photoelectric sensing controls that are ideally suited to industrial en-vi-

ronments. The basic MAXI-BEAM is an ON/OFF switch consisting of three

modules (sensor head, power block, and wiring base) and a unique, patented,

rotatable "programming ring" that enables you to program your choice of

"light" or "dark" operate mode, sensing range, and response time.

MAXI-BEAM sensor heads have an easily-accessible multi-turn SENSI-

TIVITY control for precise adjustment of system gain. Interchangeable

sensor heads are rotatable in 90-degree increments and are available in

retroreective, diffuse, opposed, convergent, xed-eld proximity, and

beroptic sensing modes. Each sensor head also includes Banner's exclusive,

patented AID™ circuit (Alignment Indicating Device*), which features

an LED alignment indicator that lights whenever the sensor "sees" its own

modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of

the received light signal.

A wide selection of MAXI-BEAM power block modules is available to

interface the sensor head to the circuit to be controlled. The plug-in design

of the wiring base enables easy exchange of the entire sensing electronics

without disturbing eld wiring.

Optional customer-installable logic modules easily convert the basic ON/OFF

MAXI-BEAM into either a one-shot or delay logic function control, with

several programmable timing ranges for each function.

MAXI-BEAM sensors are ruggedly constructed of molded VALOX

NEMA standards 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13, and have interchangeable molded

acrylic lenses. Modules simply snap and bolt together, with no interwir-

ing necessary. Module interfaces are o-ring and quad-ring sealed for the

ultimate in dust, dirt, and moisture resistance.

To order a MAXI-BEAM, follow these steps:

1) Select a sensor head module,

2) Select a power block module,

3) Select a wiring base,

4) Select a logic module (if needed),

5) Select accessories as needed (see Banner product catalog).
