Banner C-GAGE SLC1 Series Label Sensors - Manual (Page 3)

Reset Procedure
Figure 4. For best repeatability, align the labels' flat sides between
the sensor's web alignment guides
Resets are performed at startup, when changing label
types, or in response to an internal error indication.
To reset, turn the SLC1's power ON or cycle the power OFF
for 1 second or longer and then ON again.
The SLC1 may also be reset using the sensor’s gray wire.
To do so, toggle the gray wire to the opposite polarity for
>100 ms. Again, the sensor automatically adjusts to the
current sensing conditions after the passing of four labels or
250 ms, whichever is greater.
LED Behavior
The SLC1 Series sensor has one green LED and one amber LED:
Green LED Amber LED Description
Solid Power to sensor is ON
Flashing at 4 Hz Output is overloaded
Solid NPN and PNP outputs are ON
Flashing alternatively at 1 Hz
Internal error; reset sensor. Internal errors are caused by several factors:
• Moisture in the sensing slot
• Extreme and prolonged web flutter
• Label jams (labels touching both the top and the bottom sensor
forks)
If an internal error occurs, correct its cause and perform a reset (cycle the
sensor power OFF for at least 1 second and ON again or toggle the gray
wire to the opposite polarity for >100 milliseconds).
Maintenance
The SLC1 Series sensor may be disassembled for periodic cleaning, as needed. Use a 7/64" hex key to remove the four
screws at the bottom and remove the bottom fork for cleaning. Clean the fork surfaces with a mild solvent, such as
isopropyl alcohol, taking care to avoid the clear indicator light window.
