Banner MULTI-BEAM Series - Manual (Page 4)

MULTI-BEAM sensors are made up of three components: scanner
block, power block, and logic module. This is true for all MULTI-
BEAMs with the exception of opposed mode emitter units which
require only a power block (no logic module).
The first decision in the component selection process is to determine
which family of MULTI-BEAM sensors is appropriate for the applica-
tion: 3- and 4-wire, or 2-wire.
Next, decide which scanner block (within the selected family) is best for
the application. The guidelines in the catalog introduction will help you
to determine the best sensing mode. Then narrow the choice by
comparing the specifications listed in the following charts and on the
pages referenced in the charts.
Finally, choose a power block and logic module to complete the
MULTI-BEAM assembly. Components snap together without inter-
wiring to form a complete photoelectric sensing system that meets your
exact requirements while maintaining the simplicity of a self-contained
sensor.
If you have any questions about selecting MULTI-BEAM components,
please contact your Banner sales engineer or call Banner's Applications
Department at (612) 544-3164 during normal business hours.
