Banner C-GAGE SLC1 Series Label Sensors - Manual

Datasheet
• No user adjustments – Adaptive Digital Logic (ADL ™ ) 1 provides
revolutionary self-learning capability.
• Continuous automatic internal adjustment of sensing threshold and drift
compensation.
• Registration accuracy of ± 0.3 mm (0.012") typical at web speeds up to
1.5 m per second (5 ft per second)
• Reliably detects the presence of most types of labels on web backing
◦ Clear labels on an opaque backing
◦ Clear labels on a clear backing
◦ Opaque labels on an opaque backing
◦ Opaque labels on a clear backing
• Perfect for label-registering applications, and also for label-counting tasks
in slitting or rewinding applications.
• Heavy-duty metal housing, 1 mm (0.04") slot
Model Number Supply Voltage Cable Output Type User Adjustments
SLC1BB6
10 to 30 V dc
5-wire 2 m (6.5 ft)
Bipolar (NPN and PNP) None Required
SLC1BB6Q 5-pin Euro-style (QD)
To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix “W/30” to the model number of the cabled version (e.g., SLC1BB6
W/30). A model with a QD connector requires an accessory mating cable.
WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.

The SLC1 Series Label Sensor was developed to provide trouble-free
detection of labels on web backing material. It reliably senses the
difference between materials of extremely low visual contrast, including
clear labels on clear or opaque backing. The SLC1 uses Banner’s
exclusive Adaptive Digital Logic (ADL ™ ) to automatically make all sensor
settings; no user adjustments are necessary.
NOTE: Labels with metallic inks, foil embossing or
metal substrates are not recommended for use with
SLC1 Series sensors.
