1 Product Description

MINI-ARRAY BASIC Two-Piece Measuring Light Curtain configured for material handling and logistics applications with auto-

stream serial output, two discrete outputs, and EIA-485 communication

Simple two-piece measuring light curtain for profiling and object detection, tailored for material handling and logistics

applications

Diagnostic LEDs provide a simple means of monitoring emitter and receiver conditions and diminished performance

from dirty lenses

Models available with array lengths from 150 mm (6 in) to 1210 mm (4.7 ft) in 150 mm (6 in) increments

Beam spacing 19.1 mm (0.75 in) and a maximum range of 2 meters

Two discrete outputs plus auto-stream EIA-485 serial communication that automatically streams data without a

command

Configurable via the EIA-485 serial interface and the Banner Sensors GUI software within 5 seconds after the power

supply starts

Alarm output signals dirty lens and system fault conditions

EIA-485 serial communication enables a computer to process scan data

WARNING:

Do not use this device for personnel protection

Using this device for personnel protection could result in serious injury or death.

This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in
personnel safety applications. A device failure or malfunction can cause either an energized (on)
or de-energized (off) output condition.
