WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
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 sensor output condition. Consult your current Banner
Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
Features
Dual range/dual resolution opposed mode ultrasonic sensors; ideal for reliable
•
sensing of clear objects or materials
Rugged design for use in demanding environments: rated NEMA 6P (IEC IP67), wide
•
operating temperature range of −40° to +70°C
Alignment indicator flashes at a rate proportional to the received signal strength
•
Highly immune to ambient sonic and electrical noise
•
Popular T-style right-angle sensor package with 18 mm threaded mounting hub;
•
cabled or quick disconnect models
12 to 30V dc operation; choose receivers with either NPN (sinking) or PNP (sourcing)
•
output; outputs are short-circuit protected
Models
* T18U receivers may be wired for either of two resolution modes: Normal or High (see hookup diagrams, page 4).
** Only standard 2 m (6.5’) cable models are listed. For 4-Pin Euro-Style integral QD, add suffix “Q” to the model number (e.g., T18VN6URQ). For 9 m (30’) cable, add suffix
“W/30” to the model number (e.g., T18VN6UR W/30). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see page 4.
