Banner U-GAGE ULTRA-BEAM Series - Manual (Page 2)

Proper operation of an ULTRA-BEAM 925 Series sensor requires that
it be mounted securely, on a firm surface, at least 24 inches away from
side walls. At least 48 inches is required between adjacent ULTRA-
BEAMs with parallel sensing beams. Greater separation is required if
the sensing beams cross. Less than 48 inches of separation is allowable
if the adjacent sensing beams point away from each other.
With the ULTRA-BEAM mounted in place, set the object to be
detected at the desired distance, with the surface to be detected directly
in front of the sensor and perpendicular to the beam.
Turn the RANGE potentiometer to the fully counterclockwise position,
then turn the control clockwise until the sensor's red LED indicator
comes on. Verify this range setting by moving the object away from the
sensor (LED should go out), then back towards the sensor (LED should
come on again at about the same distance as before). It is best to set the
range with the object at the maximum distance at which you expect to
detect that object.
Minimum target size required for proper operation of the ULTRA-
BEAM 925 Series sensor is about 1 square foot for each 10 feet of sensor-
to-object distance.

925 Series Sensors
ULTRA-BEAM 925 Series sensors have a
male 5-pin quick-disconnect ("QD") con-
nector (left) built into the sensor's base.
This connector mates with the MBCC-512
minifast™ style quick-disconnect cable (12
feet long, order separately, see below).

SMB900 Mounting Bracket
Accessory mounting bracket
model SMB900 (photo at left
and drawing, above right) has
curved mounting slots for versa-
tility in mounting and orientation. The sensor mounts to the bracket by its threaded
base, using a jam nut and lockwasher (both included). The bracket material is 11-gauge
zinc-plated steel. The curved mounting slots have clearance for 1/4" screws.
An internal tooth lockwasher and hex mounting nut are supplied with the sensor.
