Banner R55E Series User Manual
R55 color mark sensor, R55 features r55 convergent mode

• Outstanding color contrast sensitivity; detects 16 gray scale changes
• Reliably detects the toughest color mark contrasts, including 20% yellow against white
• Totally solid-state: no bulbs to replace and no need to switch between different
colored light sources
• Rugged zinc alloy die-cast housing with high-quality acrylic lens suitable for food
processing applications; rated IP67, NEMA 6
• Fixed-convergent sensing at 10 ±3 mm (0.39 ±0.12 inch); rectangular sensing image
measures 1.2 mm x 3.8 mm (0.05" x 0.15") at 10 mm from the lens
• 50 microsecond sensing response (10,000 operations per second)
• 10 to 30V dc operation; all models offer both NPN and PNP digital outputs, plus 0 to 10 mA
analog output
• Switch-selectable light or dark operate; selectable output timing functions: 50 ms off-delay;
50 ms non-retriggerable one-shot, and 100 ms retriggerable one-shot
• 15-turn sensitivity control permits accurate setup; 10-element light bar signal strength
display makes setup easy and fast
• Choose models with either horizontal or vertical sensing image (see chart below)
• 2 meter (6.5') integral cable or 5-pin euro-style 300 mm (12") pigtail quick
disconnect; 9 meter (30') integral cable is also available

For R55 Sensors:
*
9 m (30') cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor (e.g., R55CG1 W/30)
** A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable. See the Accessories section on page 8 for more information.
