Two-Piece Measuring Light Screen
Configured for Vehicle Separation
2 Discrete Outputs with EIA-485 Communication
Instruction Manual
Features
• Simple two-piece measuring light screen for inspection,
profiling, and object detection, tailored for vehicle
separation applications.
• Detects single-fault emitter, receiver and dirty lens
conditions; continues to function in single-fault
conditions.
• Diagnostic LEDs provide a simple means of monitoring
sensor performance.
• The sensor algorithm ignores objects up to 125 mm (5")
while detecting automobile trailer hitch profiles as small
as 25 mm (1").
• Models available with array lengths from 150 to 1220 mm
in 150 mm increments (6" to 4' in 6" increments) plus
1520 mm (5') and 1830 mm (6') models.
• Beam spacing 19.1 mm (3/4").
• Two discrete outputs plus EIA-485 serial communication.
• System is configurable via the EIA-485 serial interface.
• Alarm output signals dirty lens and system fault
conditions.
• EIA-485 serial communication enables a computer to
process scan data and system status.
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 which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
