Features
• Positive air pressure prevents water, dust, and other airborne contaminants from
collecting on the sensor face.
• Air flow helps cool sensors affected by ambient heat in the sensing environment.
• Works with many of Banner’s 18 mm threaded-barrel photoelectric and temperature
sensors.
NOTE: Because air temperature affects the speed of sound, the APC-18 Air Purge
Collar should not be used with ultrasonic sensors.
Installation
1. The internal and external threads of the Air Purge Collar provide two mounting options
for 18 mm threaded-barrel sensors:
• Thread the Collar all the way onto the sensor, then mount the Collar in the mounting
bracket by its external threads, or
• Install the sensor in the mounting bracket, then thread the Collar all the way onto the
sensor.
2. Attach the air supply to the Collar by pushing a 1/8" ID air hose onto the air connection.
NOTES:
• To prevent contamination on the sensor face, use clean, dry, instrument-quality air.
• For best sensing results, teach the sensor while air is flowing.
