Banner U-GAGE®ultrasonic sensors solve difficult applications in your plant.
Ultrasonic sensors that think as well as
they hear.
Banner has reinvented ultrasonic sensing to be
infinitely more accurate, versatile and effective in
solving some of the nastiest applications you face.
We have applied our industry-leading photoelectric
sensor technologies to a new line of advanced
ultrasonic sensors. If you’ve never tried ultrasonic
sensors, or if you’ve tried them unsuccessfully before,
try them again. You’ll find our U-GAGE sensors to be
the most advanced and capable ultrasonics ever.
Superior measurement accuracy with
microprocessor control.
U-GAGE sensors offer incredible accuracy with
resolutions from 0.1% to 0.25% of the sensing
distance to solve tough measurement
applications never before possible. Our
sophisticated microprocessor control
and proprietary firmware ensures
consistent sensing performance in a
wide variety of applications.
So versatile, a single sensor can
solve thousands of applications.
U-GAGE technology allows you to set
an infinite number of ranges and
sensing windows with a single sensor
by simply pushing a button. Now you
can inventory one or two sensors that
replace literally hundreds of olderstyle, fixed-range sensors. You can also choose from numerous housing
styles that fit your application and preference. Models are available with
multiple outputs, including some that offer both analog and discrete
outputs in the same sensor!
Survives the environment and your most
difficult sensing applications.
Banner U-GAGE sensors are leakproof and designed
to withstand extremely hostile environments including
outdoor use, with ratings up to IP67 and NEMA 6P.
They are also inherently immune to target color
differences and high-power light interference —even
sunlight won’t affect
their performance.
They are immume to
all light reflections,
making them perfect
for problematic
clear-material
sensing applications.

U-GAGE®: The industry’s most advanced ultrasonic sensing features.
U-GAGE®: The industry’s most advanced ultrasonic sensing features.
A new innovation in
programming versatility
and ease-of-use.
Now setting an infinite
number of sensing ranges
and windows is simple!
With a push button right on
the sensor housing or the
turn of a screw, Banner
ultrasonic sensors offer selectable negative or
positive slope for analog sensing. Users can
also choose from a variety of options for
ON/OFF or High/Low level control. A remote
programming option is available that can also
be used to disable the push buttons to prevent
unwanted tampering.
Use an ultrasonic sensor when
your application requires:
Wide choice of ranges and unique
retrosonic mode.
Available in models with sensing ranges
from 30 mm to 8 m and sensing resolution
from 0.1% to 0.25% of the total sensing
distance, their sophisticated microprocessor
design ensures consistent performance
across the entire sensing range, even with
changing ambient conditions. Many models
feature a retrosonic mode: the sensor is taught a distinct point within its sensing range and
will detect any object regardless of shape, size or reflective angle that crosses between the
sensor face and the taught point.
Temperature compensation.
Because the speed of sound changes 1.8% per 10°C,
many Banner ultrasonic sensor models feature special
temperature compensation circuitry to stabilize
window limit trip points for applications where the
ambient operating temperatures will vary.
• Precise user-defined sensing windows.
• Reliable background suppression proximity
sensing.
• Positive clear-object detection.
• High accuracy in wet or dirty environments.
• Liquid level measurement.
• Immunity to surface color changes.
• Accurate detection of highly reflective targets.
• Reliable operation in high glare or sunlight.
Use an optical sensing method
if your application requires:
• A visible sensing spot on the target.
• Operation in a windy environment.
• Operation in high temperature gradients.
• Sensing through a sight glass as in a vacuum
environment.
• Small spot or target size detection.
• Sensing of an angled surface.
• Fast, sub-millisecond response time.
• Accurate detection of low-density materials.
