Product Specifications
Sensing Beam
Adjustments Diffuse models (only); single-turn, top-mounted SENSITIVITY control for adjustment of system gain (turn
clockwise to increase)
Supply Protection Circuitry Protected against reverse polarity
Output Configuration SPST solid-state dc switch;
Choose NPN (current sinking) or PNP (current sourcing) models
Choose light operate (N.O.) or dark operate (N.C.) models
Output Rating 150 mA maximum
Off-state leakage current: <10 microamps at 30V dc;
On-state saturation voltage: <0.5V at 10 mA dc; <1.5V at 150 mA dc
Output Protection Circuitry Protected against false pulse on power-up and continuous overload or short-circuit of outputs
Overload trip point ≥220mA, typical, at 20ºC
Output Response Time Opposed mode: 8 ms "on", 4 ms "off"; Diffuse mode: 3 ms "on" and "off"
Indicators Opposed mode receivers and diffuse mode sensors have two LEDs: Green and Yellow
GREEN glowing steadily = power to sensor is "on"
GREEN flashing = output is overloaded
YELLOW glowing steadily = light is sensed
YELLOW flashing = marginal excess gain (1-1.5x) in light condition
Emitters have one Green LED to indicate when power to sensor is "on"
Repeatability Opposed mode: 1.0 ms; Diffuse mode: 0.75 ms
Construction Housings are black ABS; Rated UL 94V0
Lenses are hermetically-sealed glass; lens covers are clear acrylic
Circuitry is epoxy-encapsulated and completely sealed
Stainless steel M2.5 mounting hardware is included
Environmental Rating
Connections 2 m (6-1/2 ft) attached cable, or 3-pin pico-style quick-disconnect fitting;
Cables for QD models are purchased separately
Operating Temperature -40º to +70ºC (-40º to 158ºF); Maximum relative humidity 90% at 50ºC (non-condensing)
Infrared, 880 nm
Supply Voltage and Current 10 to 30V dc (10% maximum ripple); Emitter or receiver: 15 mA; Diffuse models: 20 mA

WARRANTY: Banner Engineering Corporation warrants it products to be free from defects for one year. Banner Engineering
Corporation will repair or replace, free of charge, any product of its manufacture found to be defective at the time it is returned
to the factory during the warranty period. This warranty does not cover damage or liability for the improper application of
Banner products. This warranty is in lieu of any other warranty either expressed or implied.
WARNING
These 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 a de-energized sensor output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as a safety device may create
an unsafe condition which could lead to serious injury or death.
Only MINI-SCREEN™, MULTI-SCREEN™, 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. No other
Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, and they must NOT be used as sensing devices for
personnel protection.
