Programming the MAXI-BEAM Sensor Head
MAXI-BEAM sensor heads may be programmed for sensor response time (and range) and for
LIGHT/DARK operate. Each sensor head is supplied with a programming ring which attaches
below the the sensor head by a system of pegs. There are four programming notches around
the perimeter of the ring. To program the sensor head, simply find the notch which will line
up with the desired program combination (see diagram, right). NOTE: the programming ring
may have to be turned upside-down in order to line up the notch with the program. If LIGHT

If DARK OPERATE is selected, the MAXI BEAM output will energize on a light-to-dark
transition. In the illustration, the MAXI-BEAM is set for high speed (HS) operation in the
LIGHT OPERATE output state. See the information about each individual sensor head for
the response time and range associated with each setting (HP, 2W, HS, SP). NOTE: when
programming the RSBE, RSBSER, or RSBEF emitter, select the mode which is programmed
for the receiver. EXCEPTION: if the receiver is programmed for the 2-wire (2W) mode, select
high power (HP) on the emitter.

Model RSBFV is a
visible-light sensor head
designed for use with
glass fiber optics. It is
compatible with all stan-
dard Banner glass fiber
optic assemblies (see
Banner product catalog).
In order to function
properly, the RSBFV
must be programmed
for the "HS" response
mode. The RSBFV is
not for use with plastic
fiber optics (instead use
RSBFP).
The model RSBFV will
function only when
programmed for the "HS"
response mode.
The model RSBFV will
not operate with 2-wire
power blocks (models
R2PBA and R2PBB).

WARNING
MAXI-BEAM photoelectric presence sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can result in either an energized or de-energized
sensor output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition
which could lead to serious injury or death.
Only MACHINE- GUARD and PERIMETER- GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA and ANSI
machine safety standards for point- of -operation guarding devices. Nother Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these
standards, and they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.
