WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant
circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A
sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized
output condition. Consult your current Banner Safety Products catalog for
safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel
protection.

    Sensors connect to controller using two 5-conductor quick-disconnect cables (one each for emitter and receiver), ordered separately. See page 5 for available lengths. Use only Banner cables, which incorporate a “twisted pair” for noise immunity. Cables measure 8.1 mm (0.32") in diameter and are shielded and PVC-jacketed.

    3. Installation and Mechanical Alignment 3.1 Emitter and Receiver Mounting Banner MINI-ARRAY emitters and receivers are small, lightweight, and easy to handle during mounting. The mounting brackets (supplied) allow ±30° rotation. From a common point of reference, make measurements to locate the emitter and receiver in the same plane with their midpoints directly opposite each other.
