Banner PC44 Series - Manual (Page 2)

WARNING
PC44 Series modules 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 safety devices may create an unsafe condition
which could lead to serious injury or death.
Only 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.

Dimensions & Features, PC44 Series Modules
Fiber Installation
Gripper door
(Lift up here)
Fiber Installation Procedure:
1) Cut fiber to length as described in the data sheet accompanying the fiber.
2) Gently lift up the edge of the gripper door along the "label side" of the
module.
3) Push both fibers into the proper ports* until they stop. While holding the
fibers snugly in place, press the gripper door closed.
*Ports are labeled for emitter and receiver fibers. The difference is not
important when bifurcated fibers are used in the diffuse mode, but may be
a factor when individual fibers are used (opposed sensing mode). The
emitter port is for the fiber on the emitter side of the process; the receiver
port is for the fiber on the receiver side of the process.
Light/dark operate selection is done at pin #3.
For light operate mode, leave pin #3 unconnected.
For dark operate, connect pin #3 to +V dc.
