Overview

Banner MSA Series stands are designed specifically for use with Banner optical safety
system emitters and receivers, and corner mirrors. The poles are constructed of strong,
lightweight extruded aluminum, and have a dual-channel design that allows easy and
accurate height adjustment using the supplied “T” nuts.

Each stand includes two major parts:

1. A welded steel base, and

2. An aluminum pole; 24", 42", 66", or 84" in length.

Hardware is included for attaching either a MICRO-SCREEN® or MINI-SCREEN®
sensor, an SFP.. Safety Point, or a corner mirror to the pole. (EZ-SCREEN™ or
MACHINE-GUARD™ sensors, and SSM-Series mirrors require an adapter bracket; refer
to the appropriate data sheet.) A post level also is included with each stand for accurate
installation.

The pole is held securely in its base by four bolts (included). The base bolts to a flat
surface with user-supplied 5/16" or M8 hardware. The base plate has four threaded
holes for leveling bolts (also included, see Figure 2).

Figures 3, 4 and 5 detail how a sensor or mirror attaches to the post using the supplied
hardware. This mounting design allows the sensor or mirror to easily slide up or down
the pole and then lock into position by tightening four screws.

NOTE: Adapter bracket EZA-MBK-2 is required for mounting EZ-SCREEN™ or MACHINE-

GUARD™ sensors, or SSM-Series mirrors. Refer to the data sheets for those products
for more information.

Installation of Base and Pole

1) Refer to Figure 2. The base is secured to the floor or other flat surface using
5/16" or M8 hardware, supplied by the installer. Place the base on its mounting
hardware, but do not tighten. Install an M10 leveling bolt (supplied) into each of
the four threaded holes for leveling purposes.

2) Using the post level (supplied), adjust the leveling bolts for true vertical level.
Continue to check the vertical level of each pole while tightening the base
mounting hardware.

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 or death.
