3 Installation Instructions
3.1 Emitter and Receiver Mounting
Banner MINI-ARRAY emitters and receivers are small, lightweight, and easy to handle during mounting. The mounting
brackets (supplied) allow ±30° rotation.
From a common point of reference, make measurements to locate the emitter and receiver in the same plane with their
midpoints directly opposite each other. Mount the emitter and receiver brackets using the vibration isolators and M4 Keps
nuts (all supplied). Standard M4 or #8-32 bolts may be substituted (and the vibration isolators eliminated) in situations
where the emitter and receiver are not subjected to shock or vibration forces. While the internal circuits of the emitter and
receiver are able to withstand heavy impulse forces, the vibration isolators dampen impulse forces and prevent possible
damage due to resonant vibration of the emitter or receiver assembly.

1. Mount the emitter and receiver in their mounting brackets; see
2. Position the red lenses of the two units directly facing each other. The connector ends of both sensors must point in
the same direction.
3. Measure from one or more reference planes (for example, the floor) to the same points on the emitter and receiver to
verify their mechanical alignment. If the sensors are positioned exactly vertical or exactly horizontal, a carpenter’s
level may be useful for checking alignment. Extending a straight-edge or a string between the sensors may help with
positioning.
4. Also check by eye for line-of-sight alignment.
