MAXI-BEAM
Banner MAXI-BEAM® sensors are highly versatile, self-contained, modular­ized photoelectric sensing controls that are ideally suited to industrial en-vi­ronments. The basic MAXI-BEAM is an ON/OFF switch consisting of three modules (sensor head, power block, and wiring base) and a unique, patented, rotatable "programming ring" that enables you to program your choice of "light" or "dark" operate mode, sensing range, and response time.
MAXI-BEAM sensor heads have an easily-accessible multi-turn SENSI­TIVITY control for precise adjustment of system gain. Interchangeable sensor heads are rotatable in 90-degree increments and are available in
retroreective, diffuse, opposed, convergent, xed-eld proximity, and beroptic sensing modes. Each sensor head also includes Banner's exclusive,
patented AID™ circuit (Alignment Indicating Device*), which features an LED alignment indicator that lights whenever the sensor "sees" its own modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal.
A wide selection of MAXI-BEAM power block modules is available to interface the sensor head to the circuit to be controlled. The plug-in design of the wiring base enables easy exchange of the entire sensing electronics
without disturbing eld wiring.
Optional customer-installable logic modules easily convert the basic ON/OFF MAXI-BEAM into either a one-shot or delay logic function control, with several programmable timing ranges for each function.
MAXI-BEAM sensors are ruggedly constructed of molded VALOX NEMA standards 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13, and have interchangeable molded acrylic lenses. Modules simply snap and bolt together, with no interwir­ing necessary. Module interfaces are o-ring and quad-ring sealed for the ultimate in dust, dirt, and moisture resistance.
To order a MAXI-BEAM, follow these steps:
1) Select a sensor head module,
2) Select a power block module,
3) Select a wiring base,
4) Select a logic module (if needed),
5) Select accessories as needed (see Banner product catalog).

Excess Gain
MAXI-BEAM emitters have a visible red "tracer beam". This beam is non-active,
and is used as a means of visual alignment during installation. A retroreector
temporarily attached to the receiver lens provides an effective target for the tracer beam during alignment. The narrow beam of the RSBESR/RSBRSR pair is ideal for sensing small parts (effective beam diameter is 0.14 inch).

Powerful infrared beam reliably senses objects of low reectivity. Ideal for count­ing the ow of radiused products at a xed distance from the sensor.

Powerful visible red beam with precise .06" diameter sensing spot. Useful in many high-contrast color registration applications.

FIXED-FIELD Mode
RSBFF models
Far limit cutoff at:
50mm (model RSBFF50) or 100mm (model RSBFF100) Beam: infrared, 880nm.
Response: HP mode: 10ms Repeatability: HP mode: 3.3ms
Fixed-eld sensor heads have an emit­ter element and two differently-aimed receiver elements. This creates a
high-gain sensing eld able to detect objects of low reectivity, and a sharp
far-limit sensing cutoff of 50mm (2 inches) or 100mm (4 inches) which ignores backgrounds beyond cutoff.
These sensors are ideal for detecting a part or surface that is only a fraction of an inch in front of another surface.
RSBFFs may not be used with 2-wire power blocks.

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 nd 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
.noitisnart thgil-ot-krad a no ezigrene lliw tuptuo MAEB-IXAM eht ,detceles si ETAREPO 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 for the receiver. EXCEPTION: if the receiver is programmed for the 2-wire (2W) mode, select high power (HP) on the emitter.
RSBE, RSBSER, or RSBEF emitter, select the mode which is programmed
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.
