MSA-TE Series Tubular Enclosures
For MINI-SCREEN ® Sensors Mounted in Washdown Environments
Features
•
FDA-grade polycarbonate tubing and acetal end caps
• Stainless steel mounting components
• Brackets and fasteners included
• Ideal for high-pressure washdown applications
• NEMA 4X, IP67
• 12 models available to accommodate MINI-SCREEN® sensors 4" to 48" long
Banner MSA-TE Series Tubular Enclosures are designed specifically for use with Banner
MINI-SCREEN emitters and receivers. The enclosures are constructed of FDA-approved
rugged polycarbonate tubing with FDA-approved acetal end caps. The enclosures are
mounted with stainless steel mounting brackets and fasteners. The enclosures are
available in 12 lengths.
Use of the enclosure affects the sensing range of the MINI-SCREEN used: when wired
in pairs, range can be reduced by 50%. It is recommended to use MINI-SCREEN Long-
Range sensors (MSXLE/R) in the tubular enclosure.
Figure 3 shows how the enclosure is assembled. Components are bagged together for
easier assembly.

CAUTION...
Reduced
Sensing Range
Sensing Range is reduced
50% due to tubular construction.
WARNING...
Maintain Required
Separation Distance
The light screen produced by the
optical safety system sensors
must be placed at a minimum safe
distance from the dangerous motion
of the machine being guarded.
This necessary minimum distance
is called the separation distance,
and is discussed in Section 3 of the
appropriate instruction manuals.
Failure to calculate this distance
correctly and to maintain minimum
separation distance can result in
serious injury.
