Banner VALU-BEAM Series - Manual (Page 11)

All emitter/receiver pairs:
Response: 20ms on/off
Beam: infrared, 880nm
Visible red "tracer beam"
RETROREFLECTIVE
MODE
A visible-red light beam reduces the potential for false signals from highly
reflective objects ("proxing") and simplifies alignment. AG (anti-glare) models
polarize the emitted light and filter out unwanted reflections, making their use
possible in applications otherwise unsuited to retroreflective sensing (and where
reduced excess gain is acceptable). Maximum range with all units is attained when
using the model BRT-3 3" corner cube reflector. See the Banner product catalog for
details about available retroreflective materials.

Opposed mode sensors have higher excess gain than other models, and
therefore should be used whenever possible. The small size of these
sensors makes them ideal for many conveyor applications, and their small
effective beam size (particularly of the ESR/RSR models) enables them
to reliably detect relatively small objects. ESR and RSR models also have
a wide beam angle for very forgiving alignment within the 10-foot range.
VALU-BEAM opposed mode sensors have a visible red "tracer beam"
which greatly simplifies sensor alignment. E and R models have a narrow
beam angle which allows receivers to be placed on relatively close centers
(at close range) in multiple sensor arrays.
