Remote Sensor Pair
Banner remote sensors will connect to any MB Series amplier.  The 
model MRB chassis (shown) has octal sockets for the amplier and  a 
BR-2 relay (supplied) and provides power for the sensors and ampli-
er.  Up to four sensor pairs may be connected to one amplier for 
light-operated OR or dark operated AND operation. In multiple-sensor 
hookups, receivers are wired in parallel and emitters are connected in 
series (see example for CM Series modules, next page).
Several MB Series ampliers are available.  Each provides a different 
output  logic  function.  Chassis  models  with  additional  octal  sockets 
are also available.  Other types of output devices, including solid state 
relays, may be ordered (see Banner catalog).

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT: 12-18V dc at less than 100mA, 
exclusive of load.
EXCESS GAIN
BEAM PATTERN
The LR400 emitter and PT400 receiver are compact, totally-encapsulated opposed mode remote sensors whose threaded barrel design 
and excellent operating characteristics make them ideal for use on small conveyors and similar applications. Mounting and alignment 
are extremely simple, due to these sensors' wide eld of view.  The LR400 and PT400 mount through 3/8" (9,5mm) clearance holes, 
and are secured by two steel jam nuts (included).
The minimum object size needed to break the beam of the sensor beam is 1/8-inch.  Optional lenses provide extended sensing range 
and/or higher excess gain. Identical optical performance (for unlensed sensors) is available in different housing styles in models LR/
PT200, 250, and 300 (see Banner catalog). LR/PT400 series  sensors may be adapted for use with beroptics via the accessory FOF-
400 ber adaptor.
These sensors may be used with Banner MICRO-AMP
® 
MA3-4 and MA3-4P modulated ampliers, MAXI-AMP™ CM Series modu-
lated ampliers, and  MB Series ampliers. The hookup information below applies to all LR/PT400 series sensors, including: LR400HF, 
HFSB, SS, V, VG, VH, and PT400F, SB, and SS.

1) Avoid  running  remote  sensor  cables  in  wireways  together  with
power-carrying conductors.
Wiring rules: 
2) Avoid running remote sensor cables through areas of known ex-
treme electrical interference (electrical "noise").
3) Always use shielded cables and only connect the shield ("drain")
wire at the amplier.
4) When splicing, never combine emitter and receiver wires into a
common cable.  (The result will be electrical "crosstalk" within the 
cable, which causes a "lock-on" condition of the amplier.)
RANGE: up to 8 feet in opposed mode (see excess gain curve); up 
to 110' possible with optional L16 lenses.
EFFECTIVE BEAM: 0.14 inch (3.6 mm) diameter
RESPONSE SPEED:  a function of the amplier (see below)
OPERATING TEMPERATURE:  -40 to +100° C (-40 to +212° 
F)
EMITTER CHARACTERISTICS (LR400):   infrared LED, 
880nm
CONSTRUCTION:  totally encapsulated, hermetically sealed 
lenses.  Anodized aluminum housings with two plated steel jam nuts 
(supplied). NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13. 
CABLE: sensors are supplied with 6' of PVC-covered cable. 
30' cables are available by special order.
