LX Series Part-Sensing Light Screen
For Sensing Small or Flat Parts at High Speeds
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.
† Sizes not listed available on request; contact factory
* Integral cable models are listed; for 5-pin Euro-style 150 mm (6") QD pigtail, add suffix “Q” to model number (e.g., LX3EQ). QD models require a mating cable; see page 4.
Features
• Emitter and receiver pair produce a strobed web of modulated light
beams, in 8 lengths, 2 sensing ranges
• Simple, economical and highly reliable means of sensing small parts or
flat items which pass anywhere through the light screen
• Fast response, output includes a 5-millisecond pulse stretcher for
interfacing reliability
• Simple wiring configuration; emitter and receiver do not need a
synchronization wire
• Rugged, self-contained and compact construction; rated IEC IP65
• Bipolar design offers both NPN (current sinking) and PNP (current
sourcing) solid-state outputs
Infrared, 880 nm
