photoelectric presence sensors described in this catalog do NOT include the self-
checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction
can result in
either
an energized or a de-energized sensor output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as a safety device may create an unsafe
condition which could lead to serious injury or death.
WARNING
Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA and ANSI
machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards,
and they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.
WARRANTY: Banner Engineering Corporation warrants its products to be free from defects for one year. Banner Engineering Corporation will
repair or replace, free of charge, any product of its manufacture found to be defective at the time it is returned to the factory during the warranty period.
This warranty does not cover damage or liability for the improper application of Banner products. This warranty is in lieu of any other warranty either
expressed or implied.

MULTI-BEAM Sensors

Banner MULTI-BEAM
®
sensors are compact
modular
self con-
tained photoelectric switches. Each MULTI-BEAM consists of
three components: scanner block, power block, and logic module.
The
scanner block
contains the complete modulated photoelectric
amplifier as well as the emitter and receiver optoelements. It also
contains the sensing optics and the housing for the other two
modules. The
power block
provides the interface between the
scanner block and the external circuit. It contains a power supply
for the MULTI-BEAM plus a switching device to interface the
circuit to be controlled. The
logic module
interconnects the power
block and scanner block both electrically and mechanically. It
provides the desired timing logic function (if any), plus the ability
to program the output for either light- or dark-operate. The
emitters of MULTI-BEAM emitter-receiver pairs do not require
a logic module. Emitter scanner blocks are supplied with a blade-
pin to interconnect the scanner block and power block. This
modular design, with field-replaceable power block and logic
module, permits over 5,000 sensor configurations, resulting in
exactly the right sensor for any photoelectric application.
There are two families of MULTI-BEAM sensors: 3- and 4-wire,
and 2-wire. Three- and four-wire MULTI-BEAMs offer the
greatest selection of sensor configurations. They permit either ac
or dc operation and offer the fastest response times and the
greatest sensing ranges. Two-wire MULTI-BEAMs are used in
ac-powered applications where simplicity and convenience of
wiring are important. They are physically
and
electrically inter-
changeable with heavy-duty limit switches.
The circuitry of all MULTI-BEAM components is encapsulated
within rugged, corrosion-resistant VALOX
®
housings, which
meet or exceed NEMA 1, 3, 12, and 13 ratings. Most MULTI-
BEAM scanner blocks include Banner's patented Alignment
Indicating Device (AID™) which lights a top-mounted LED
when the sensor sees its own modulated light source and pulses
the LED at a rate proportional to the received light signal. Most
MULTI-BEAM sensor assemblies are UL listed and certified by
CSA (see power block listings). All MULTI-BEAM components
(except power block models 2PBR and 2PBR2) are totally solid-
state for unlimited life.

Selection of MULTI-BEAM Components
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.
