**Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-3 retroreflector (3" diameter). Actual sensing range may be more or less than specified,
depending upon the efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector(s) in use. See your Banner Photoelectric catalog for more information.

Opposed-mode sensors have higher excess gain than other models, and so should be
used whenever possible. ESR and RSR models’ small effective beam size enables them to
reliably detect relatively small objects; their wide beam angle allows forgiving alignment
within the 10’ range.
An excellent alternative when opposed-mode sensing is not possible. A visible red
beam reduces the potential for false signals from reflective objects (“proxing”)
and simplifies alignment. AG (anti-glare) models polarize the emitted light and
filter out unwanted reflections.
