Model RSBFP is a visible-light sensor head designed for use with plastic fiber
optics. It is compatible with all standard Banner plastic fiber optic assemblies
(see Banner product catalog). In order to function properly, the RSBFP must be
programmed for the "HS" response mode. The RSBFP is not for use with glass
fiber optics (instead use model RSBF or RSBFV).

Range: see excess gain

Beam: infrared, 880nm
Response:
HP, 2W modes: 10ms
HS mode: 1ms
SP mode: 0.3ms
Repeatability:
HP, 2W= 3.3ms;
HS = 0.3ms;
SP = 0.1ms
NOTE: if the
retroreflective sensing
mode is used in
conjunction with the
HP or 2W program
mode, the GAIN control
must be reduced from
the factory setting in
order to avoid optical
feedback from the lens
assembly.

Beam: visible red, 650nm.
Response:
HS mode only, 1ms on/off

The model RSBFP will
function only when
programmed for the "HS"
response mode.
The model RSBFP will
not operate with 2-wire
power blocks (models
R2PBA and R2PBB).
