Selection of MAXI-BEAM Components
The modular design of the MAXI-BEAM allows you to create a sensor
which is tailored to your exact requirements. To order a MAXI-BEAM,
follow these steps:
1) SELECT A SENSOR HEAD (see pages 3-7).
Sensor heads are available for opposed, retroreflective, diffuse, convergent,
and fiberoptic sensing modes.
2) SELECT A POWER BLOCK (see pages 8-13).
Power blocks are available for low voltage dc with either a solid-state or an
electromechanical relay output. AC power blocks are available in either
2-wire design with solid-state output or 4-wire design with a choice of solid-
state or electromechanical relay output.
3) SELECT A WIRING BASE (see page 8, top). Model RWB4 wiring
base is used for all MAXI-BEAM assemblies (purchase separately).
4) SELECT A LOGIC MODULE, if needed (see pages 14-15).
MAXI-BEAMs operate in the ON/OFF mode (i.e. the output follows the
action within the sensing beam) when no logic module is used. The addition
of a programmable logic module can add process timing control as part of
the MAXI-BEAM sensor assembly.
5) SELECT ACCESSORIES, as needed (see pages 15-16).
MAXI-BEAM Dimensions
SUPPLY VOLTAGE:
Input power is supplied by the power block (see pages 8 to 13).
RESPONSE TIME:
Programmable for 10, 1, and 0.3 milliseconds (most models).
See specifications on particular model. Independent of signal
strength. NOTE: see power block specifications for information
on additional output switching response delays.
REPEATABILITY OF RESPONSE:
See individual sensor specifications. NOTE: Response time and
repeatability specifications are independent of signal strength.
SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT:
Easily accessible; located on top of sensor head beneath o-ring
gasketed cover. 15-turn clutched control (rotate clockwise to
increase gain).
ALIGNMENT INDICATOR:
Red LED on top of sensor head. Banner's exclusive "AID"
circuit lights the LED when the sensor sees its own modulated
light source and pulses the LED at a rate proportional to the
received light signal strength.
CONSTRUCTION:
Reinforced molded VALOX
® housing, molded acrylic lenses, o-
ring and quad-ring gasketed components. Electronic compo-
nents are fully epoxy-encapsulated. NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE:
-40 to +70 degrees C (-40 to +158 degrees F).
FALSE-PULSE SUPPRESSION ON POWER-UP:
100 millisecond delay on power-up, all models.
