RETROREFLECTIVE
Mode
SBLV1: visible beam makes alignment very easy, and is the first choice for most retroreflective applications.
Not for use in dirty environments; rather use opposed mode or see SBL1 & SBLX1, below. Do not locate
retroreflector closer than 6 inches (15cm) from sensor.
SBLVAG1: uses anti-glare filter for immunity to direct reflections from shiny objects. Use only with models
BRT-3 or BRT-1.5 retroreflective targets. Use only in clean environments. Do not locate retroreflector closer
than 12 inches (30cm) from sensor.
SBL1: use where invisible beam is advantageous (e.g. security applications or film processing). First choice for
retroreflective sensing in slightly or moderately dirty environments. Do not use when the object to break the
beam has a shiny surface, unless the angle of light to the surface can be predicted.
SBLX1: highest gain available in a retroreflective sensor. Use for all applications requiring more than 30-foot
range where opposed mode sensors cannot be used. Objects must pass at a distance of at least 10 feet from the
sensor to be reliably sensed.
NOTE: for detailed information on
available retroreflective materials, see
the Banner product catalog.
