WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This device 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.
1.1 MINI-ARRAY Models
Each A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY system must include one controller and an emitter/receiver pair of matching length and resolution. Configure
and monitor the system using the supplied software and a user-supplied PC-compatible computer.
These MAC series controllers operate on 16 to 30 V dc and have one sensor pair input and one
gate input.

•
Measuring Light Screen system for inspection and profiling applications
•
Modular system with compact controller and a variety of BMEL/BMRL series MINI-
ARRAY emitters and receivers
•
Sensors available with either 9.5 mm (3/8 in) or 19.1 mm (3/4 in) beam spacing and with
array lengths from 6 in to 4 ft (in 6 in increments), plus 5 ft and 6 ft models
•
Controller is programmable for any one or two of ten measurement modes (depending
on model) and any one of four scanning modes, using a computer running Windows
Vista, or 7, and the Banner-supplied software
•
Software is also supplied for display of error analysis (via controller self-diagnostics) and
for sensor alignment
•
System status, including alignment, is displayed via LED indicators on the controller and
on the receivers
•
Controller may be programmed for blanking to ignore activity in one or two fields along
the length of the array
•
Programmable hysteresis at the high and/or low limit of each measurement area
provides smoothing of output response; also programmable for number of consecutive
scans before an output update
•
Separate gate input (e.g., from a presence sensor) allows control of scan initiation
•
Supports serial communication with a computer or PLC via RS-232C interface; enables a
computer or PLC to process scan data and/or initiate scans; serial data may be either
ASCII or binary
