E71083
Banner MULTI-BEAM® sensors are compact modular self contained photoelectric switches. Each MULTI-BEAM consists of
three components: scanner block, power block, and logic module.
The scanner block contains the complete modulated photoelectric
amplifier as well as the emitter and receiver optoelements. It also
contains the sensing optics and the housing for the other two
modules. The power block provides the interface between the
scanner block and the external circuit. It contains a power supply
for the MULTI-BEAM plus a switching device to interface the
circuit to be controlled. The logic module interconnects the power
block and scanner block both electrically and mechanically. It
provides the desired timing logic function (if any), plus the ability
to program the output for either light- or dark-operate. The
emitters of MULTI-BEAM emitter-receiver pairs do not require
a logic module. Emitter scanner blocks are supplied with a bladepin to interconnect the scanner block and power block. This
modular design, with field-replaceable power block and logic
module, permits over 5,000 sensor configurations, resulting in
exactly the right sensor for any photoelectric application.
There are two families of MULTI-BEAM sensors: 3- and 4-wire,
and 2-wire. Three- and four-wire MULTI-BEAMs offer the
greatest selection of sensor configurations. They permit either ac
or dc operation and offer the fastest response times and the
greatest sensing ranges. Two-wire MULTI-BEAMs are used in
ac-powered applications where simplicity and convenience of
wiring are important. They are physically and electrically interchangeable with heavy-duty limit switches.
The circuitry of all MULTI-BEAM components is encapsulated
within rugged, corrosion-resistant VALOX
meet or exceed NEMA 1, 3, 12, and 13 ratings. Most MULTIBEAM scanner blocks include Banner's patented Alignment
Indicating Device (AID™) which lights a top-mounted LED
when the sensor sees its own modulated light source and pulses
the LED at a rate proportional to the received light signal. Most
MULTI-BEAM sensor assemblies are UL listed and certified by
CSA (see power block listings). All MULTI-BEAM components
(except power block models 2PBR and 2PBR2) are totally solidstate for unlimited life.

Selection of MULTI-BEAM Components
MULTI-BEAM sensors are made up of three components: scanner
block, power block, and logic module. This is true for all MULTIBEAMs with the exception of opposed mode emitter units which
require only a power block (no logic module).
The first decision in the component selection process is to determine
which family of MULTI-BEAM sensors is appropriate for the application: 3- and 4-wire, or 2-wire.
Next, decide which scanner block (within the selected family) is best for
the application. The guidelines in the catalog introduction will help you
to determine the best sensing mode. Then narrow the choice by
comparing the specifications listed in the following charts and on the
pages referenced in the charts.
Finally, choose a power block and logic module to complete the
MULTI-BEAM assembly. Components snap together without interwiring to form a complete photoelectric sensing system that meets your
exact requirements while maintaining the simplicity of a self-contained
sensor.
If you have any questions about selecting MULTI-BEAM components,
please contact your Banner sales engineer or call Banner's Applications
Department at (612) 544-3164 during normal business hours.

ModelsExcess Gain
Beam Pattern
SBE/SBR1: this opposed pair has the highest gain available at 1 ms response.
SBED/SBRD1: fast response and small effective beam; will detect objects as small as .14 inch in crossection
moving at up to 10 feet per second. Best choice for repeatability of position sensing.
SBEX/SBRX1: best choice for opposed sensing in extremely dirty environments. Use for outdoor applications
and all applications requiring opposed range of 100 feet or more. Also useable side-by-side for long-distance
mechanical convergent sensing. Alignment difficult beyond 400 feet.
SBEV/SBRX1: SBEV has visible red beam for easiest alignment and system monitoring.
SBEXD/SBRXD1: wide beam angle and high gain for the most forgiving emitter-receiver alignment.
SBLV1: visible beam makes alignment very easy, and is the first choice for most retroreflective applications.
Not for use in dirty environments; rather use opposed mode or see SBL1 & SBLX1, below. Do not locate
retroreflector closer than 6 inches (15cm) from sensor.
SBLVAG1: uses anti-glare filter for immunity to direct reflections from shiny objects. Use only with models
BRT-3 or BRT-1.5 retroreflective targets. Use only in clean environments. Do not locate retroreflector closer
than 12 inches (30cm) from sensor.
NOTE: for detailed information on
available retroreflective materials, see
the Banner product catalog.
SBL1: use where invisible beam is advantageous (e.g. security applications or film processing). First choice for
retroreflective sensing in slightly or moderately dirty environments. Do not use when the object to break the
beam has a shiny surface, unless the angle of light to the surface can be predicted.
SBLX1: highest gain available in a retroreflective sensor. Use for all applications requiring more than 30-foot
range where opposed mode sensors cannot be used. Objects must pass at a distance of at least 10 feet from the
sensor to be reliably sensed.
SBD1: short range diffuse mode sensor with relatively wide field of view. Loses gain rapidly near the end of its
range. As a result, its response to background objects is suppressed. However, use caution when applying any
diffuse mode sensor if background reflectivity exceeds the reflectivity of the object to be sensed.
SBDL1: longer range than SBD1, but with less response to objects passing the sensor at close range, and greater
sensitivity to background objects. Models SBD1 and SBDL1 are identical except for their upper cover (lens)
assembly (SBD1 uses UC-D; SBDL1 uses UC-L; see Upper Cover Chart in the Banner product catalog).
APPLICATION NOTE: as a general rule
regarding background objects in diffuse sensing, verify that the distance to the nearest
background object is at least three times the
distance from the sensor to the object to be
sensed. For example, if a product passes one
inch from an SBD1 sensor, the nearest background object should be at least three inches
further away.
SBDX1: first choice for diffuse (proximity) mode applications when there is no requirement for less than 10 ms
response and where there are no background objects to falsely return light. High excess gain for reliable detection
of most materials with low reflectivity which pass within 10 inches (25cm) of the sensor.
SBDX1MD: wide beam angle for forgiving alignment to reflective objects. First choice for detection of clear or
translucent glass or plastics. High excess gain at close range, with fast fall-off of gain near the maximum sensing
distance for optical suppression of reflective background. This model may be created from model SBDX1 by
substituting upper cover (lens) model UC-DMB.
SBCV1: .06-inch (1.5mm) dia. visible red spot, for precise positioning, edge-guiding, & small parts detection.
Sensor-to-product distance must be consistent. Some products ≥1" tall may be sensed against immediate
background like parts on a conveyor. Excellent for high-contrast registration-sensing applications (except red-onwhite). Use with LM6-1 logic module for speed detection sensing gear teeth, pulley hubs, or chain links.
SBCVG1: .12-inch (3mm) diameter visible green spot. Use to detect color differences (e.g. color registration
marks), including red-on-white combinations. For subtle shade variations, use model FO2BG (see Banner product
catalog).
SBC1, SBC1-4, SBC1-6: infrared LED light source provides higher gain for reliable sensing of products of low
reflectivity, while controlling sensing depth of field. Does not offer the same precision possible with visible light
models. Good for sensing clear materials within the sensor's depth of field. Good for reliably counting the flow
of radiused products which are kept at a fixed distance from the sensor (e.g. bottles against conveyor guide rail).
SBCX1, SBCX1-4, SBCX1-6: these models offer the greatest optical gain available in any reflective mode sensor.
They reliably detect most non-reflective black materials in applications where opposed mode sensing is not
possible (e.g. web break monitoring). Not meant for ignoring background objects (see excess gain charts).

Model SBFX1 is the first choice for glass fiber optic applications, except in fiber optic retroreflective applications
or where faster response speed or visible light are a requirement. Model SBFX1 contains both emitter and receiver
and thus accepts either one bifurcated fiberoptic assembly or two individual fiber optic cables. The excess gain
of model SBFX1 is the highest available in the photoelectric industry. As a result, opposed individual fibers
operate reliably in many very hostile environments. Also, special miniature bifurcated fiber optic assemblies with
bundle sizes as small as .020 inch (.5mm) in diameter may be used successfully with model SBFX1 for diffuse
mode sensing. The excess gain curves and beam patterns illustrate response with standard .060 inch (1.5mm)
diameter and .12 inch (3mm) diameter bundles. Response for smaller or larger bundle sizes may be interpolated.
NOTE: opposed ranges shown are meant to illustrate excess gain only, and are limited by fiber length. Use scanner
block models SBEXF and SBRXF1 (above) for long range opposed fiber optic sensing.

Fiber optics are often used to sense small parts. Small parts or narrow profiles which move at a high rate of speed can require sensors with fast response times for
reliable detection. High speed fiber optic sensors are ideal for sensing gear or sprocket teeth or other targets in applications involving counters or shift registers for
position control. Selection of the fiber optic sensing tip should involve matching the effective beam of the fiber to the profile of the part to be sensed to maximize
the time that the part is sensed and/or the time between adjacent parts. Combining the best selection of fiber tip geometry with a high speed sensor will result in
a highly repeatable position sensing system. The model BT13S fiber optic assembly used with a model L9 or L16F lens and a high speed scanner block is an excellent
system for retroreflective code reading or for almost any short range retroreflective sensing application. Response time of a MULTI-BEAM sensor is also a function
of the power block. For this reason, only power blocks which switch dc (e.g. PBT, PBP, PBO, PBAT, etc) should be used if the fast response time of the scanner
block is to be utilized.

Scanner block model SBFV1 supplies visible red light to the emitter half of a glass fiber optic photoelectric system. Visible light sensors have less optical energy
as compared to infrared systems. There are, however, some sensing situations which require visible light wavelengths in order to realize adequate optical contrast.
Opposed fibers using visible red light are used to reliably sense translucent materials (e.g. plastic bottles) which appear transparent to infrared opposed sensors. Fiber
assembly model BT13S used with a the model L9 or L16F lens makes an excellent visible light sensing system for retroreflective code reading as well as many shortrange retroreflective applications (e.g. retro scanning across a narrow conveyor). When combined with a bifurcated fiber, model SBFV1 may be used for color
registration sensing for applications where there is a large difference between the two colors (e.g. black-on-white). For combinations of red-on-white, however,
the visible-green light source of model SBFVG1 (below) is needed. Visible light emitters are also helpful for visual system alignment and maintenance.

Convergent beam sensors like model SBCVG1 are often used for color registration sensing. However, there are
some registration applications where the use of bifurcated fiber optics is beneficial. Fiber optics are able to fit
into tight locations which are too small for a convergent sensor. Fibers also allow a choice of image size. It is
important to create an image size which is smaller than the registration mark in order to maximize optical contrast
and to ease sensor response requirements. Fibers allow a match of the light image to the geometry of the
registration mark. Scanner block model SBFVG1 will sense most bold color differences, including red-on-white.
Use only power blocks which switch dc (e.g. PBT, PBP, PBO, PBAT, etc.) for fast response.

These scanner blocks are non-modulated receivers which are operated by sunlight or incandescent, fluorescent,
infrared, or laser sources. A typical application would involve mounting the scanner block underneath a roller
conveyor, "looking" up between the rollers at the overhead factory lighting. Any objects passing over the sensor
would then cast a shadow, resulting in an output (dark operate). Ambient receivers are used with LM5-14 delay
logic to sense daylight for outdoor lighting control. These sensors can also sense the large amounts of infrared light
(heat energy) which is emitted by hot or molten glass, metal, or plastic during processing of these materials.
Model SBAR1 is for general application. Model SBAR1GH is a high gain version. It is about twenty times more
sensitive to light as compared to the SBAR1. The range at which either model will sense a light source depends
upon both the intensity of the light source and the contrast in intensity between the source and the rest of the ambient
light in the viewing area.
NOTE: ambient receiver scanner blocks will also work with 2-wire power blocks and logic. However, the light/
dark operate functions will be reversed when using 2-wire components.

fiberoptic light pipes. NOTE: glass fibers will not efficiently pass ultraviolet wavelengths.
MULTI-BEAM 3- and 4-wire Scanner Block Modifications
The following are popular modifications to MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire scanner blocks. They are not stocked, but are available on a quote basis.
HIGH SPEED MODIFICATION "MHS": scanner blocks with 1 millisecond response may be modified for 300 microsecond (0.3 millisecond) response.
This modification is designated by adding suffix "MHS" to the scanner block
model number (e.g.- SBF1MHS, etc.). High speed is most often required in
fiberoptic or opposed mode sensing. The MHS modification reduces the
available excess gain by about 50%, and also decreases the sensor's immunity
to some forms of electrical "noise".
14
ZERO HYSTERESIS MODIFICATION "MZ": amplifier hysteresis may
be removed from 3- and 4-wire scanner blocks when attempting to sense very
small signal changes (contrasts less than 3). This modification is designated by
adding suffix "MZ" (Modified Zero Hysteresis). Be sure that all variables
affecting the sensor's optical response remain constant before ordering the zero
hysteresis modification .
MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire DC Power Blocks
MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire power blocks provide regulated low voltage DC power to
the scanner block and logic module, and a solid state infinite-life switch (except in
emitter-only scanner blocks). Connections are made to heavy-duty screw terminals
which accept up to #14 gauge wire (no lugs are necessary). All power blocks are epoxyencapsulated and rated for -40 to +70 degrees C. Response times are determined by
the scanner block used, except that power blocks switching ac require up to 8.3
milliseconds to turn OFF in addition to the response time of the scanner block (plus
logic module time delays, if any).
Photo shows DC power block (left) and AC power block (right).
DC power blocks have gray housings; AC models are red.

PBT48: exactly the same configuration as the PBT, but for 48V dc systems.
PBT2: provides two NPN outputs; one normally open, the other normally closed (equivalent to SPDT
relay). The normally closed output may be used when a load must de-energize when the MULTI-BEAM
operates (e.g. normally closed one-shot). NOTE: both outputs are open when dc power is removed.

These power blocks are the most commonly used for ac operation. As the typical hookup
shows, they are intended to switch the same ac voltage as is used to power the MULTI-BEAM.
However, the output of all four blocks is rated for 250V ac maximum, and all can switch a
voltage which is different than the supply as long as both ac circuits share a common neutral.
For example, a PBA could switch a 24V ac door chime, etc. Observe local codes when mixing
ac voltages in a wiring chamber. These blocks are designed to handle the inrush current of ac
inductive loads like motor starters and solenoids. The "holding current" specification of any
inductive load should not exceed the 750mA output rating. There is no minimum load
requirement. These power blocks will interface directly to all ac programmable controller
inputs. All contain built-in transient suppression to prevent false turn-on or damage from
inductive loads and line "spikes". Outputs of multiple power blocks may be wired in series or
parallel for "AND" and "OR" logic functions.

Power block models PBAT and PBBT have an isolated solid-state output switch which may be used
to switch either ac or dc. The switch is rated at 100mA maximum, and there is no capacity for inrush.
As a result, these power blocks usually should not be used to switch ac inductive loads. However,
100mA is enough capacity to switch many inductive dc loads like small relays and solenoids. Models
PBAT and PBBT interface directly to all ac programmable controller inputs.
Since the saturation voltage of these power blocks is typically greater than 1 volt, they should not be

These power blocks are designed to interface an electronic circuit (or control) at a low dc voltage level, but
where there is no dc supply voltage available to power the MULTI-BEAM. Since the output is isolated
it may be wired to either source or sink current, and multiple units may be wired in either series or parallel.
The output of model PBO or PBOB will directly interface Banner component system logic modules. The
low on-state saturation voltage allows direct interfacing to most solid-state low voltage dc logic systems
or electronic totalizers.

Hookup Diagrams for AC Power Blocks
NOTE: output switching capacity
is 3/4 amp maximum.
AC voltage is connected to terminals #1 and #2 to provide power to the MULTI-BEAM. The solid-state output
switch behaves as if there were a contact between terminals #3 and #4. L1 is most conveniently applied to
terminal #3 by jumpering terminals #1 and #3 inside the MULTI-BEAM.
The outputs of all five power block models are rated
for 250V ac maximum, and can switch an ac voltage
which is different from the supply as long as both accircuits share a common neutral. Observe local
wiring codes when mixing AC voltages in a common
wiring chamber.
Since the output switch is a solid-state device, contact continuity cannot be checked by means of an
ohmeter, continuity tester, etc. To check the functioning of the output switch, a load must be installed
and tested along with the MULTI-BEAM.
CAUTION: the output switch could be destroyed if
the load becomes a short circuit (i.e., if L1 and L2 are
connected directly across terminals #3 and #4).
NOTE: this hookup depicts the output switch as a
normally open contact. Model PBAQ actually has a

Interfacing to a PLC I/O is direct with MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire ac power
blocks. All models have less than 100 microamps (0.1 milliamp) of off-state
leakage current. If you have a question on hookup to a particular brand of
PLC, contact the Banner Applications Department during normal business
hours.
Hookup in Series with other MULTI-BEAMs
MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire ac power blocks may be wired in series with
each other for the "AND" logic function. The total voltage drop across the
series will be the sum of the individual voltage drops across each power
block (approximately 3 volts per block). With most loads, 10 or more
power blocks may be wired in series.

MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire Logic Modules
The logic module interconnects the power block and scanner block both electrically and
mechanically using a unique blade-and-socket connector concept. It also provides the
LIGHT/DARK operate function (except in the LM1) and the timing functions, all of which
are fully adjustable.
In the diagrams below, the "signal" represents the light condition (in LIGHT operate) or
the DARK condition (in DARK operate), and the "output" represents the energized
condition of the solid-state output switch (power block). "Delay" refers to the time delay
before the output operates, and "hold" refers to the time that the output remains "on" after
the event has occurred.
The photo (left) shows a typical logic module for 3- or 4-wire operation. Note that all 3& 4-wire logic modules are color-coded red. The time ranges listed for the logic modules
in the table below are standard time ranges. Other time ranges are available; see page 23
for information.
Functional Schematic
RESPONSE TIME: response time will be that
for the scanner block (plus power block) plus the
programmed delay (if the logic includes a delay
function).
OPERATING TEMPERATURE: -40 to +70 degrees C (-40 to +158 degrees F).
TIMING ADJUSTMENT(S): one or two single turn potentiometers with slot for blade-
type screwdriver adjustment. NOTE: when turning time adjustments fully clockwise or
counterclockwise, avoid excessive torque to prevent damage to potentiometers.
TIMING REPEATABILITY: plus or minus 2% of maximum range under constant power
supply and temperature conditions; plus or minus 5% of maximum range under all
conditions of supply voltage and temperature.
TIMING RANGE: useful range is from maximum time down to 10% of maximum (e.g.from 1 to 0.1 seconds, or from 15 to 1.5 seconds). When timing potentiometer is set fully
counterclockwise, time will be approximately 1% of maximum.
Description of Logic
LM1 is an on-off logic module that causes the power block output to "follow the action" of the
scanner block: when the scanner block sees a LIGHT signal, the output is energized; when the
scanner block sees a DARK signal, the output is de-energized. This is referred to as the LIGHT
operate mode. If the application calls for DARK operate mode, the LM1 may be used with
normally-closed type power blocks such as PBAQ or PBT2.

Setable time range: .1 to 1 second.
The LM2 provides "flip-flop" or toggling action of the power block output, such that each time
the scanner block changes from a DARK state to a LIGHT state, the output changes state. The
output remains in the last state until another change occurs. The LM2 is frequently used to operate
a diverter gate that splits a production line into two lines. It may also be used to operate room
lighting by breaking a photoelectric beam: if the lights are OFF, breaking the beam turns them
ON; if the lights are ON, breaking the beam turns them OFF.
The LM3 is an on-off logic module that has the ability to be programmed for either LIGHT
operate or DARK operate. It comes with a jumper wire installed: with the jumper in place, the
output is DARK operated; with the jumper removed, the output is LIGHT operated. The LM3
is the most commonly used logic module when no timing function is desired, particularly if it is
not known at the time of ordering which mode (LIGHT or DARK operate) will be needed.
The LM4-2 provides a one-shot ("single shot") output pulse each time there is a transition from
LIGHT to DARK (jumper installed) or from DARK to LIGHT (jumper removed). The output
pulse time range is adjustable from 0.1 to 1 second. The duration of the pulse is independent of
the duration of the input signal. The timing of the LM4-2 is restarted each time the input signal
is removed and then recurs. This is referred to as a "retriggerable" one shot, and this feature may
be applied to some rate sensing applications (use LM6-1 for true rate sensing).

Description of Logic
The LM4-2NR provides a one-shot ("single shot") output pulse each time there is a transition
from LIGHT to DARK (jumper installed) or from DARK to LIGHT (jumper removed). The
output pulse time range is adjustable from 0.1 to 1 second. The duration of the pulse is
independent of the duration of the input signal. The output pulse of the LM4-2NR must complete
before it recognizes another input transition. This is called a "non-retriggerable" one shot, which
sometimes offers an advantage in indexing or registration control applications where multiple
input signals are possible during advance of the product.
The LM5 is a true "on-delay" type logic module. The input signal must be present for a
predetermined length of time before the output is energized. The output then remains energized
until the input signal is removed. If the input signal is not present for the predetermined time
period, no output occurs. If the input signal is removed momentarily and then reestablished, the
timing function starts over again from the beginning. A LIGHT/DARK operation selection
jumper is included. The standard time range is adjustable from 1.5 to 15 seconds (field
adjustable), and other ranges are available. The LM5 is often used to detect jams on a conveyor
line, where a beam broken for longer than a preset period of time implies a product jammed in
the light beam.
The LM5R is an "off-delay" logic module, similar to the LM5, except that timing begins on the
trailing edge of the input signal. When the input occurs, the output is immediately energized; if
the input is then removed, the output remains energized for the adjustable pre-determined time
period, then de-energizes. If the input is removed but then re-established while the timing holds
the output energized, a new output cycle is begun. The LM5R might typically be used to tell when
no products have broken a beam for a predetermined length of time, therefore indicating a jam
or an empty reservoir upstream. The LIGHT/ DARK operate jumper wire is included. Timing
range is adjustable from 1.5 to 15 seconds, and optional ranges are available.

The LM5-14 combines the function of an "on-delay" and an "off-delay" into one logic module.
When the signal is present for more than the on-delay time, the output energizes. The off-delay
circuit is now active, and holds the output on even if the input signal disappears for short periods
of time. If the input signal is gone for longer than the off-delay time, the output finally drops out.
The most common use for the LM5-14 is to control fill level, for example in a bin: when the bin
is full, a beam is broken, and a predetermined time later, the flow is stopped. After the level has
fallen below the beam for a time, the flow is restarted. The time delays control the high and low
levels. Each delay is independently adjustable for 1.5 to 15 seconds.
The LM5T "limit" timer combines the function of on-off logic and on-delay logic. As long as
the signal is present for only short periods of time, the output "follows the action" of the input
signal. If the input signal is present for longer than the predetermined time, the output
deenergizes. The output only reenergizes when the input signal is removed and then reestablished. Interval timers are used to operate loads which must not run continuously for long periods
of time, such as intermittent duty solenoids and conveyor motors. The LM5T may be used to run
a supermarket checkout conveyor, always bringing the product up to the sensor beam and then
stopping the motor. When the last item is removed, the motor times out and stops. Timing range
is .15 to 15 seconds.
The LM6-1 is a true overspeed or underspeed sensing logic module that monitors signals from
a scanner block and continuously calculates the time between input signals, and compares that
time with the reference set by the "HOLD" potentiometer. A jumper allows the mode to be
changed from overspeed (jumper installed) to underspeed (jumper removed). In the overspeed
mode, the output will drop if the preset rate is exceeded. In the underspeed mode, the output
remains energized until the input rate drops below the preset. The output will not "pulse" at low
speeds as retriggerable one-shots do. A "DELAY" adjustment allows the LM6-1 to ignore data
for the first several seconds after power is applied, to permit the rate to accelerate to operating
speed without false underspeed outputs. The sensing rate may be adjusted from 60 to 1200 pulses
per minute (.05 to 1.0 second per pulse), and the power-up inhibit from 1 to 15 seconds.

Description of Logic
The LM8 is a repeat cycle timing module with independently adjustable delay and hold times.
When an input signal is received from the scanner block, a delay period begins during which there
is no output. If the signal remains, the delay period is followed by a hold period, during which
the output is energized. If the signal still remains, the hold period times out, releasing the output
and starting a new delay period. This sequence continues indefinitely until the input signal is
removed. The LM8 is used in edgeguide and other registration control schemes where it is desired
to "pulse" the correction motor to avoid overcorrection that might occur with a continuous output.
Both time ranges are indpendently adjustable from 1.5 to 15 seconds. NOTE: use of the LIGHT/
DARK operate jumper is reversed: remove for DARK, leave in place for LIGHT.
The LM8-1 is a delayed one-shot that functions very much like two individual one-shots, with
the end of the first initiating the second. When an input signal occurs, a delay period is initiated,
during which time the output is not energized. After the delay, the output is energized for the hold
period, then deenergized. No further action takes place unless the signal is removed and then
reestablished. This sequence is independent of the duration of the input signal. The LM8-1 is
frequently used to sense a product, and then act on that product a short time later when it is clear
of the inspection station. An example might be to inspect cartons for open flaps, and to eject the
faulty cartons when they have completely passed the inspection point. Both time ranges are
adjustable from 1.5 to 15 seconds.
The LM8A differs slightly from the LM8-1. It too incorporates both a delay and a hold time,
except that the delay is a true on-delay. If the input signal does not last for the total duration of
the delay time, no output action ever occurs (with the LM8-1, even a momentary signal generates
one complete cycle of timing). If the delay time passes, the one-shot output occurs, regardless
of what happens to the input signal. Removing the input signal and reapplying it begins a new
cycle. The LM8A is used to eject a part that has remained in the sensor beam longer than the delay
time (for instance, a jammed part). Both time ranges are independently adjustable from 1.5 to
15 seconds. NOTE: use of the LIGHT/ DARK operate jumper is reversed: remove for DARK,
leave in place for LIGHT.

LMT
test
logic
The LM10 is a fixed-count divide-by-ten logic module, with neither timing nor LIGHT/ DARK
operate functions. When power is first applied, the output is OFF; with each dark-to-light
transition, the LM10 enters one count in its memory. After five counts, the output is energized,
and it remains energized until the tenth count. It then deenergizes, and the sequence continues.
The LM10 is intended for product counting applications using programmable logic controllers
or computers, where the scan time of the input section of the controller is too slow to permit
"catching" high speed count rates. It may also be used with electromechanical totalizers, which
suffer from this same slow response. In operation, of course, the registered count must be
multiplied by ten to get the true count (ambiguity of five).
LMT is a plug-in test logic module for use when troubleshooting MULTI-BEAM sensors. It
contains LED indicator lights in place of the timing potentiometers and a miniature switch in place
of the LIGHT/DARK operate jumper. The indicator lights display the operation of the scanner
block and power block to verify proper functioning, and the switch permits manual operation of
the load to verify the output switching circuit. The step-by-step testing procedure included with
the LMT will allow a MULTI-BEAM to be completely tested without removing it from the
installation, and, if there is a faulty scanner block, power block, or logic module, the LMT will
identify it. The LMT may also be used with all 2-wire MULTI-BEAMs (see pages 24 to 29).
Logic Module Modifications
The time ranges of any MULTI-BEAM 3- & 4-wire logic module may be
factory modified. Time range modification is often necessary to improve the
setability of the timing function. Some time range modifications are carried in
stock. The current Banner products price list is the best source of this
information. Other time range modifications may be quoted. When ordering
modified logic modules, add the letter "M" after the model number, followed
by the maximum time desired (in seconds). The table below lists possible
modifications.
Model Number SuffixSetable Time Range
M.01.001 to .01 seconds
M.1.01 to .1 seconds
M.5.05 to .5 seconds
M1.1 to 1 second
M5.5 to 5 seconds
M151.5 to 15 seconds
• For logic modules with a single timing function, specify the maximum
desired time in seconds (e.g., LM5M5 indicates an LM5 on-delay with the delay
time adjustable up to 5 seconds).
• For logic modules with dual timing functions, specify the maximum desired
delay and hold time in seconds (e.g., LM5-14M1M5 indicates an LM5-14 onoff delay with an on-delay adjustable up to 1 second and an off-delay adjustable
up to 5 seconds). Always specify both timing ranges, even if only one is to be
modified.
• For fixed timing, the letter "F" should always be followed by the desired time,
in seconds (e.g., LM5MF1 would be an LM5 on-delay with a fixed 1 second
delay time). For fractions of seconds, use decimal equivalents, such as
LM5MF.5, or LM5MF.01, etc.

MULTI-BEAM 2-wire Sensors
2-wire MULTI-BEAM
Functional Schematic, 2-wire MULTI-BEAM
The components of the MULTI-BEAM 2-wire family of modular self-contained
sensors are physically identical to the 3- & 4-wire components. However, the 2wire components are designed to wire directly in series with an ac load, exactly
like a limit switch. This design makes the 2-wire MULTI-BEAM impossible to
wire backward.
MULTI-BEAM 2-wire scanner blocks with their 10 millisecond response time
have approximately the same optical performance as the 1-millisecond 3- & 4wire scanner block models.
The off-state leakage current of 2-wire MULTI-BEAM sensors is less than 1
milliamp, the lowest value of any 2-wire photoelectric sensor. This makes the
MULTI-BEAM 2-wire photoelectric device the most probable such device to
interface directly with ac inputs of programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

Model 2SBR1 receiver is used with the SBE emitter, which is the same emitter used with the 1 millisecond 3- &
4-wire receiver model SBR1. The response time, however, is determined by the receiver, and is 10 milliseconds.
This pair will work reliably in slightly dirty (average manufacturing plant) conditions up to 60 feet opposed, and
outdoors up to 20 feet. When more distance (or excess gain) is required, use 3- & 4-wire receiver model SBRX1
with the SBEX emitter. The 2SBR1 will not work with the visible emitter SBEV. Use opposed mode sensors as
a first choice in any application, except where the material to be sensed is translucent to light or so small that it
will not break the effective beam diameter. The SBE emiter uses a 3 & 4 wire power block. Powerblocks for use
with SBE include models PBA-1, PBB-1, PBD-1, PBT-1, and PBT48-1 (see pages 16 and 19 for information on
these powerblocks).
Model 2SBL1 is the retroreflective mode scanner block in the 2-wire MULTI-BEAM family. It has the same
excellent optical performance as model SBL1 in the 3- & 4-wire family. If the application calls for breaking a
retroreflective beam with shiny objects such as metal cans or cellophane-wrapped packages, mount the 2SBL1
and its retroreflector at an angle of 10 degrees or more to the shiny surface to eliminate any direct reflections from
the object itself, or consider using 3- & 4-wire scanner block model SBLVAG1 (page 8). Alternatively, the MAXIBEAM, VALU-BEAM, and MINI-BEAM families offer 2-wire ac visible and polarized retroreflective models.
Notice from the excess gain curve that the gain falls off at very close sensing ranges, so much so that retroreflectors
cannot be used reliably closer than one inch from the sensor.
These convergent mode 2-wire scanner blocks are identical in performance to their 3- & 4-wire equivalents,
except for the 10 millisecond response time. They are designed for 2-wire applications where background objects
might be seen by proximity mode sensors, or where the precision of a small focused image is important (e.g.- edgeguiding or position control). Model 2SBC1 provides much more excess gain at its focus point as compared to the
diffuse mode sensors. Convergent mode sensors are preferable to diffuse mode sensors if the distance from the
sensor to the object to be detected can be kept constant. Models 2SBC1 and 2SBC1-4 may be derived from retro
model 2SBL1 by exchange of the upper cover assembly. Model 2SBC1 uses upper cover UC-C, and model
2SBC1-4 uses upper cover model UC-C4. These may be interchanged. A 6-inch convergent model may be created
from either model by substituting upper cover UC-C6. See the Upper Cover Interchangeability Chart in the
Banner product catalog for more information.
Models 2SBD1 and 2SBDX1 diffuse (proximity) mode scanner blocks are identical except for their lenses. Model
2SBD1 uses upper cover model UC-D, and the 2SBDX1 uses UC-L (see MULTI-BEAM Accessories, pages 30-
31). While the UC-L lens extends the range to over 30 inches, it creates a "dip" in the excess gain at closer ranges.
As a result, the 2SBDX1 may sense a dark colored object at 10 inches, but it may not see it at all at 2 inches. If
the application is not completely defined, either scanner block may be ordered, along with the complementary
upper cover as an accessory.

Scanner block 2SBF1 combines the simplicity of 2wire hookup with the sophistication and versatility
of optical fibers. The infrared source of this model will
work with any Banner glass
fiber optic assembly, except
bifurcated assemblies with
bundle diameters less than
1/16". Since fibers are frequently used for sensing
small parts, fast response
time is often a consideration. If the application requires response near the 10
millisecond specification of
the 2SBF1, consider the
faster 3- & 4-wire model
SBF1.

MULTI-BEAM 2-wire Power Blocks
MULTI-BEAM 2-wire power block models 2PBA, 2PBB, and 2PBD contain a low voltage power supply which
utilizes a unique circuit to take a very small leakage current through the load and convert it to the dc power required
to run the scanner block and logic module. They also contain the solid-state switch that operates the load, and a
transient suppression circuit to prevent false operation from high voltage spikes on the incoming line. They are
completely solid-state for unlimited operating life.
Model 2PBR is a 4-wire power block which works with 2-wire scanner blocks and logic modules and offers an SPST
"hard" contact for switching heavy ac or dc loads. Model 2PBR2, also for use with 2-wire scanner blocks and logic
modules, uses a 3- or 4-wire hookup with SPDT "hard" contacts for switching heavy ac loads.
NOTE: MULTI-BEAM 2-wire ac power blocks are color-coded black.
MULTI-BEAM 2-wire power blocks offer the ultimate in simplicity of sensor hookup. They wire
directly in series with an ac load, exactly like a limit switch. Response time of 2-wire power
blocks is determined by the scanner block, which is 10 milliseconds on/off. A built-in false pulse
protection circuit holds the output OFF for 100 milliseconds after power is initially applied to the
power block. 2-wire power blocks will operate from -40 to +70 degrees C (-40 to +158 degrees
F). Resistive loads must be less than 15,000 ohms and inductive loads must be greater than 1.2
watts (10 milliamps).
Contact rating: 250V ac max, 30V dc max,
5 amps max. (resistive load); install MOV across
contact if switching an ac inductive load.
Closure time: 20 milliseconds

Model 2PBR actually requires a 4-wire hookup and model 2PBR2 requires a 3- or 4-wire hookup,
even though they only work with 2-wire scanner blocks and logic modules. Both are powered by
120V ac across terminals #1 and 2. The 2PBR offers an SPST "hard" relay contact between
terminals #3 and 4. Model 2PBR2 is an SPDT version, with both contacts common to terminal
#1: terminal #3 is a normally open output, and terminal #4 is normally closed. These
configurations allow MULTI-BEAM sensors to directly interface large loads which draw more
than 3/4 amp like clutches, brakes, large contactors, and small motors. Model 2PBR can switchboth ac and dc loads; model 2PBR2 switches the ac line voltage to an ac load (see connection
diagrams). The 2PBR and 2PBR2 also eliminate the problem of voltage drop from series strings
of sensors operating low voltage ac loads. NOTE: install an appropriate value MOV (metal oxide
varistor) transient suppressor across the power block relay contacts when switching an ac
inductive device.

MULTI-BEAM 2-wire sensors wire in series with an appropriate load. This combination, in turn, wires directly across the ac
line. A 2-wire sensor may be connected exactly like a mechanical limit switch.
The MULTI-BEAM remains powered when the load is "off" by
a residual current which flows through the load. This off-state
leakage current is always less than 1 milliamp. The effect of this
leakage current depends upon the characteristics of the load. The
voltage which appears across the load in the off-state is equal to
the leakage current of the sensor multiplied by the resistance of
the load:
V (off)= 1mA x R(load)
If this resultant off-state voltage is less than the guaranteed turnoff voltage of the load, the interface is direct. If the off-state
voltage causes the load to stay "on", an artificial load resistor
must be connected in parallel with the load to lower its effective
resistance. Most loads, including most programmable logic
controller (PLC) inputs, will interface to 2-wire sensors with
1mA leakage current without the need for an artificial load
resistor. There is no polarity requirement. Either wire may
connect to terminal #1, and the other to terminal #2.
CAUTION: all three components of a MULTI-BEAM 2-wire
sensor will be destroyed if the load becomes a short circuit!!
LOAD
2-wire MULTI-BEAMs in Parallel
Multiple 2-wire MULTI-BEAMs may be wired together in
parallel to a load for "OR" or "NAND" logic functions.
When sensors are wired in parallel, the off-state leakage
current through the load is equal to the sum of the leakage
currents of the individual sensors. Consequently, loads with
high resistance, like small relays and electronic circuits, may
require artificial load resistors.
2-wire MULTI-BEAM sensors have a 100 millisecond
power-up delay for protection against false outputs. When
2-wire MULTI-BEAMs are wired together in parallel, any
power block which has an energized output will rob all of the
other power blocks of the current they need to operate.
When the energized output drops, there will be a 0.1 second
delay before any other MULTI-BEAM can energize. As a
result, the load may momentarily drop out.
2-wire MULTI-BEAM sensors cannot wire in series with
other 2-wire sensors unless power block model 2PBR is
used. If series connection of 2-wire ac sensors is required,
consider models within the VALU-BEAM or MINI-BEAM
families.
2-wire MULTI-BEAM
in Series with Contacts
When 2-wire MULTI-BEAM sensors are connected in series with mechanical switch or relay
contacts, the sensor will receive power to operate
only when all of the contacts are closed. The
false-pulse protection circuit of the MULTIBEAM will cause a 0.1 second delay between the
time that the last contact closes and the time that
the load can energize.

2-wire MULTI-BEAM
in Parallel with Contacts
2-wire MULTI-BEAM sensors may be wired in

contacts close or the sensor output is energized.
When a contact is closed, it shunts the operating
current away from the MULTI-BEAM. As a
result, when all of the contacts are open, the
MULTI-BEAM's 0.1 second power-up delay
may cause a momentary drop-out of the load.

Hookup of 2-wire MULTI-BEAM to a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
MULTI-BEAM 2-wire sensors operate with very
low (1 milliamp) off-state leakage current. As a
result, they will interface directly to most PLCs
without the need for an artificial load resistor. If
the off-state voltage (1mA x input resistance of
the PLC) is higher than the PLC sensing threshold, install a 10KΩ to 15KΩ, 5-watt resistor for
each 2-wire sensor. The resistor connects between the input terminal and ac neutral.
If you have a question on hookup to a specific
brand of PLC, contact the Banner Applications
Department during normal business hours.

MULTI-BEAM2-wire Logic Modules
2-wire logic modules provide the mechanical and electrical connection between the scanner
block and the power block of a 2-wire MULTI-BEAM sensor. In addition, the logic module
provides the LIGHT/DARK programming of the output plus delay or pulse
timing, if required. 2-wire logic modules are all color-coded black (3- and
4-wire logic modules are red). The
timing ranges listed below are standard. Special timing ranges are available, on a quote basis, per the instructions given for 3- and 4-wire logic
modules on page 23. NOTE: model
LMT test module (page 23) may also
be used with 2-wire systems.
SPECIFICATIONS, 2-WIRE LOGIC MODULES:
specifications for 2-wire logic modules are identical to those for 3- and 4-wire logic modules (see page 21).

Description of Logic
The 2LM3 is an on/off logic module that has the ability to be programmed for either LIGHT
or DARK operate. It comes with a jumper wire installed: with the jumper in place, the output
is DARK operated; with the jumper removed, the output is LIGHT operated. The 2LM3 is
used when no timing function is desired.
The 2LM4-2 provides a one-shot ("single shot") output pulse each time there is a transition
from LIGHT to DARK (jumper installed) or from DARK to LIGHT (jumper removed). The
output pulse time range is from adjustable from 0.1 to 1 second. The duration of the pulse
is independent of the duration of the input signal. The timing of the 2LM4-2 is restarted each
time the input signal is removed and then recurs. This is referred to as a "retriggerable" one
shot, and this feature may be applied to some rate sensing applications.
The 2LM5 is a true "on-delay" type logic module. The input signal must be present for a
predetermined length of time before the output is energized. The output then remains
energized until the input signal is removed. If the input signal is not present for the
predetermined time period, no output occurs. If the input signal is removed momentarily
and then reestablished, the timing function starts over again from the beginning. The
standard time range is adjustable from 1.5 to 15 seconds, and other ranges are available.
The 2LM5R is an "off-delay" logic module, similar to the 2LM5, except that timing begins
on the trailing edge of the input signal. When the input occurs, the output is immediately
energized; if the input is then removed, the output remains energized for the adjustable
predetermined time period, then deenergizes. If the input is removed but then reestablished
while the timing holds the output energized, a new output cycle is begun. The LIGHT/
DARK operate jumper wire option is included. Timing range is adjustable from 1.5 to 15
seconds, and op-tional ranges are available.

The 2LM5-14 combines the function of an "on-delay" and an "off-delay" into one logic
module. When the signal is present for more than the output on-delay time, the output
energizes. The off delay circuit is now active, and holds the output on even if the input signal
disappears for short periods of time. If the input signal is gone for longer than the off-delay
time, the output finally drops out. The time delays can control high and low levels in flow
control applications. Each delay is independently adjustable for 1.5 to 15 seconds.
The 2LM5T "limit" timer combines the function of on-off logic and on-delay logic. As long
as the signal is present for only short periods of time, the output "follows the action" of the
input signal. If the input signal is present for longer than the predetermined time, the output
deenergizes. The output only reenergizes when the input signal is removed and then
reestablished. Interval timers are used to operate loads which must not run continuously for
long periods of time, such as intermittent duty solenoids and conveyor motors. Timing
range is adjustable from 1.5 to 15 seconds.
