MSA-TE Series Tubular Enclosures
For MINI-SCREEN® Sensors Mounted in Washdown Environments
Features
• FDA-grade polycarbonate tubing and acetal end caps
• Stainless steel mounting components
• Brackets and fasteners included
• Ideal for high-pressure washdown applications
• NEMA 4X, IP67
• 12 models available to accommodate MINI-SCREEN® sensors 4" to 48" long
Banner MSA-TE Series Tubular Enclosures are designed specifically for use with Banner
MINI-SCREEN emitters and receivers. The enclosures are constructed of FDA-approved
rugged polycarbonate tubing with FDA-approved acetal end caps. The enclosures are
mounted with stainless steel mounting brackets and fasteners. The enclosures are
available in 12 lengths.
Use of the enclosure affects the sensing range of the MINI-SCREEN used: when wired
in pairs, range can be reduced by 50%. It is recommended to use MINI-SCREEN LongRange sensors (MSXLE/R) in the tubular enclosure.
CAUTION... Reduced
Sensing Range
Sensing Range is reduced
50% due to tubular construction.
WARNING...
Maintain Required
Separation Distance
The light screen produced by the
optical safety system sensors
must be placed at a minimum safe
distance from the dangerous motion
of the machine being guarded.
This necessary minimum distance
is called the separation distance,
and is discussed in Section 3 of the
appropriate instruction manuals.
Failure to calculate this distance
correctly and to maintain minimum
separation distance can result in
serious injury.
Figure 3 shows how the enclosure is assembled. Components are bagged together for
easier assembly.

Assembly Instructions
A. Place spacer disk on the QD end of the MINI-SCREEN sensor,
using the plastic mounting nut and lockwasher (supplied with
MINI-SCREEN).
O-ring
A
B
(backside)
B. Screw the top cap onto the non-QD end of the MINI-SCREEN
using the two M4 screws and lockwashers (make sure o-ring
is in place on top cap). Torque: 6 in-lbs max.
C. Being careful not to scratch the tubular housing, slide the
terminated end of the cordset into the labeled end of the clear
tube and push it through, so it comes out the other end.
D. Connect the cordset to the MINI-SCREEN.
E. Slide the MINI-SCREEN into the clear tube until the top cap
mates with the tube flange. Make sure the o-ring seals against
the flat surface of the flange.
C
D
F. Screw the top cap to the tube flange using four 6-32 screws
and lockwashers. Torque: 15 in-lbs max.
G. Slide the bottom end cap over the unterminated end of the
cordset, making sure the o-ring is in place on the bottom cap.
H. Screw the bottom cap to the tube flange, using four 6-32
screws and lockwashers. Make sure the o-ring seals against
the flat surface of the flange. Torque: 15 in-lbs max. Tighten
the strain relief nut over the cordset cable.
E
F
I. Place the mounting bracket on the top cap and secure with
two 10-32 screws and lockwashers. Torque: 50 in-lbs max.
J. Place the mounting bracket over the cordset cable and to
the bottom end cap; secure with two 10-32 screws and
lockwashers. Torque: 50 in-lbs max.
