Page 8: Installation Instructions
3 Installation Instructions 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. -

Page 13: Control Module Configuration
Configure the A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY control module using a Windows menu-style routine; the ® configuration routine requires the Banner-supplied HRMA software and a PC-compatible computer (running Windows Vista, or 7). Make a serial data connection between the computer and the DB9 connector on the control module. 4.1 Communications Setup 1. -
Page 14: Factory Settings
The emitter/receiver pairs have a wide field of view and are easy to align. The recommended distance between the emitter and receiver ranges from 380 mm to 1829 mm (15 in to 72 in). Shorter sensor separation can be achieved; consult Banner Engineering for details. -

® ® A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY The Alignment screen provides the following functions: Start, Stop, Step, Clear Blanking Fields, Restore Control module Settings, Auto Blanking, Abort Auto Blanking, Save to File, Read From File, Cancel, OK, and Edit. To access any of these sub-routines, first click Stop, then the selected option. - Page 16 ® ® A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY System Software Blanking Setup Routine 1. Position the object to be blanked in the path of the beams (this can be done at any time before beginning the blanking routine). 2. Perform the Ping routine to select the proper control module. 3.

Page 25: Transmission Type
® ® A-GAGE High-Resolution MINI-ARRAY ALL Mode: The status of each beam in the light screen array is transmitted for each scan. In ALL mode, blanked channels are transmitted as unblocked (or clear) beams. Max Meas Mode: The control module records the maximum measurement value registered while the light screen is blocked. That data may be transmitted to the host either when the array is clear at the end of the sensing event (select Send On Clear), or when prompted by the host (select Send On Request). -
