Range (19.1 mm Beam Spacing)
0.9 m to 17 m (3 ft to 55 ft) for sensors < 4 ft
0.9 m to 14 m (3 ft to 45 ft)for sensors > 4 ft
Maximum range is specified at the point where 3× excess gain remains.
Minimum Object Sensitivity (19.1 mm Beam Spacing)
38.1 mm (1.5 in)
Interlaced Mode: 25.4 mm (1 in)
Assumes sensing is in middle one-third of scanning range.
Supply Voltage and Current (Receiver)
9.5 mm beams: 0.75 amps at 12 V dc maximum
19.1 mm beams: 0.50 amps at 12 V dc maximum
Maximum current is for a 6 ft sensor.
Status Indicators (Receiver)
Green: sensors aligned (> 3× excess gain)
Amber: marginal alignment (1×-3× excess gain)
Red: sensors misaligned or beam(s) blocked
Connections
Emitter and receiver connect to controller using two 5-conductor quick-
disconnect cables (one each for emitter and receiver), ordered separately.
Cables measure 8.1 mm (0.32 in ) dia., and are shielded and PVC-jacketed;
conductors are 20-gauge.
Use only Banner cables, which incorporate a ""twisted pair" for noise immunity
on RS-485 data communication lines.
Emitter and receiver cables may not exceed 250 ft each.
