Please direct any questions regarding the application or use of the device to Banner. For more information regarding U.S. and international institutions that provide safeguarding application and safeguarding device performance standards, see "Standards and Regulations"...
EU Declaration of Conformity (DoC) Banner Engineering Corp. herewith declares that these products are in conformity with the provisions of the listed directives and all essential health and safety requirements have been met. For the complete DoC, please go to www.bannerengineering.com.
Standards and Regulations The list of standards below is included as a convenience for users of this Banner device. Inclusion of the standards below does not imply that the device complies specifically with any standard, other than those specified in the Specifications section of this manual.
3.2.4 S4B Light Curtains with Different FIDs Over time, Banner adds new features to some devices. The Feature ID (FID) identifies the set of features and functions included in a particular model. Generally, an increasing FID number corresponds to an increasing feature set. Optically, units of the same resolution and length can be interchanged and will work, regardless of FID.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death. • Use Banner's S4B only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued at any point in the machine's stroke or cycle, such as machines with a part-revolution clutch.
Failure to observe this warning could result in serious injury or death. • If a Banner device is installed in an application that results in a pass-through hazard (for example, perimeter guarding), either the Banner device System or the Machine Primary Control Elements (MPCEs) of the guarded machine must cause a Latched (manual reset) response following an interruption of the defined area.
NOTE: An LAT-1 Laser Alignment Tool is very helpful by providing a visible red dot along the optical axis. See "Alignment Aids" on page 81 and Banner Safety Applications Note SA104 (p/n 57477) for more information. 6.4.5 Conduct a Trip Test...
The Receiver status LED turns red and the appropriate zone indicator(s) turn red. The OSSD outputs turns off. Turn the S4BA-RFB key to the Fixed Blanking Teach (I) position (in a counterclockwise direction if the Banner logo is up) and keep the key in this position for a minimum of 1 second (the key will stay in this position if released).
"Vibration Tolerance Limitations" on page Turn the S4BA-RFB key to the Vibration (Beam) Tolerance (II) position (in a clockwise direction if the Banner logo is up) and keep the key in this position for a minimum of 1 second (the key will stay in this position if released).
• To ensure proper operation, the Banner device output parameters and machine input parameters must be considered when interfacing the Banner device OSSD outputs to machine inputs. Design machine control circuitry so that all of the following are true: The maximum load resistance value is not exceeded.
Periodic Checkout Requirements To ensure continued reliable operation, the System must be checked out periodically. Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described below. However, a Qualified Person should evaluate these recommendations, based on the specific application and the results of a machine risk assessment, to determine the appropriate content and frequency of checkouts.
8.3.2 Check for Sources of Optical Noise Turn off the emitter or completely block the emitter. Press the RCV button on the Banner BT-1 Beam Tracker Alignment Aid and move it across the full length of the receiver’s sensing window to check for light at the receiver. If the BT-1’s indicator turns on, check for emitted light from other sources (other safety light curtains, grids or points, or standard photoelectric sensors).
NOTE: Maximum cordset lengths are intended to ensure that adequate power is available to the S4B System when the supply is operating at +20 V DC. Values in the previous table are worse case. Contact Banner Engineering if there are any questions. NOTE: The length of Emitter machine interface cordsets can be two times longer than those listed for the receiver in the table above if a CSB Splitter cordset is not used.
Results should be recorded and kept in the appropriate place (for example, near the machine, and/or in a technical file). Banner Engineering highly recommends performing the System checkouts as described. However, a Qualified Person (or team) should evaluate these generic recommendations, considering their specific application, and determine the appropriate frequency of checkouts.
Engineering Corp. will repair or replace, free of charge, any product of its manufacture which, at the time it is returned to the factory, is found to have been defective during the warranty period.

Contactors If used, two contactors are required per S4B System that is monitored by the EDM circuit and should not be used with the S4B system with a 5-pin RD (removable disconnect) cordset. See Banner datasheet p/n 111881 for more information.
127 mm (5.0") Base Plate Thickness 6.4 mm (0.25") 12.15 Muting Accessories Use the S4BA mute arms with the S4B and a muting device (such as the Banner Safety Controllers). Table 16. Muting Accessories Model Description L-configuration mute arm kit...

Double-break mode is used when the part is both inserted (to begin the operation) and removed (after the operation) by the operator. PSDI is commonly confused with "Trip Initiate." PSDI is defined in OSHA CFR1910.217. Banner safety light curtain systems may not be used as PSDI devices on mechanical power presses, per OSHA regulation 29 CFR 1910.217.
A self-checking circuit has the capability to electronically verify that all of its own critical circuit components, along with their redundant backups, are operating properly. Banner Engineering safety light curtain systems and safety modules are self- checking. supplemental guarding Supplemental guarding is additional safeguarding device(s) or hard guarding, used to prevent a person from reaching over, under, through or around the primary safeguard or otherwise accessing the guarded hazard.
