WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current
Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.

OMNI-BEAM Features
• Sensor heads feature Banner’s D.A.T.A.™ (Display And Trouble Alert) indicator
system* which warns of an impending sensing problem before a failure occurs
• 10-element LED array displays sensing contrast and received signal strength and
warns of a sensing problem due to any of the following causes:
- Severe condensation or moisture
- High temperature
- Low supply voltage
- Output overload (dc operation)
- Too much sensing gain
- Not enough sensing gain
- Low optical contrast
• Separate indicators for target sensed and output energized
• Sensor heads are field-programmable for the following response parameters:
- Sensing hysteresis
- Signal strength indicator scale factor
- Light or dark operate of the load output
- Normally open or closed alarm output
• Choose power blocks for high-voltage ac or low-voltage (10 to 30V) dc operation
• Sensor head and power block plug (and bolt) together quickly and easily
• Optional plug-in output timing modules may be added at any time
OMNI-BEAM Overview
Modular Design
OMNI-BEAM is a modular self-contained sensor. It is made up of a sensor head and a
power block; an optional plug-in timing logic module may be added easily. The three
modular components, sold separately, simply plug and bolt together — without
interwiring — to create a complete self-contained photoelectric sensor tailored to a
particular application’s exact sensing requirements.
The sensor lenses and modular components are all field-replaceable. OMNI-BEAM’s
modular design makes change-out of any component quick and easy.
