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
retroreective, 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® to
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).

Sensor Heads
Some MAXI-BEAM sensor heads: models RSBC, RSBDSR,
RSBLV, and RSBF (shown with bifurcated ber optic assembly
attached).
General Specications
Construction: Reinforced molded VALOX
lenses, o-ring and quad-ring gasketed components. Electronic components
are fully epoxy encapsulated. NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13.
Operating Temperature: -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F).
Sensitivity Adjustment: Easily accessible, located on top of the sensor
head beneath a watertight gasketed screw-cover. 15-turn clutched control;
rotate clockwise to increase sensitivity.
Alignment Indicator: Red LED on top of sensor head. Banner's ex-
clusive AID™ circuit (*US patent no. 4356393) lights the LED whenever
the sensor sees its own modulated light source, and pulses the LED at a
rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal.
False Pulse Suppression on Power-up: 100ms delay on power-
up.
Response Time and Repeatability: Specications to follow in indi-
vidual product descriptions are independent of signal strength.

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 retroreector
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).
