WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its 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.

Features
T18XDN Series EZ-BEAM sensors are designed specifically for use on DeviceNet™
Bus Networks. These are smart sensors which can be wired directly to a DeviceNet
bus using a “dumb” tee.
T18XDN Series sensors offer all of the features and powerful sensing performance
that EZ-BEAMs offer. The innovative dual-indicator system takes the guesswork out
of sensor performance monitoring. Housings are tightly sealed and the sensor
circuitry is epoxy-encapsulated for reliable duty in wet or oily sensing environments.
Models are available for opposed (through-beam), retroreflective, polarized
retroreflective, diffuse and fixed-field sensing.
Several mounting options are offered, including angled brackets and split-clamp
brackets. T18XDN series sensors may also be simply mounted through suitable
clearance holes. See page 5 for more information.
