Electrical connections (power, ground, inputs and outputs) are made via M12 quick-disconnect cordsets or unique RD
(removable disconnect) cordsets, depending on model. A "System" as referred to in this manual, is defined as an emitter
and its receiver, plus their cabling, or to a cascade of emitters and their receivers and their cabling.
Available features include selectable scan code via hookup, an auxiliary fault output, a recessed exit window, and robust
metal housing and end-caps for industry leading durability.
Additional features on cascade models include automatic configuration of up to four sensor pairs (any length or resolution),
optional EZ-LIGHT indication (integral or remotely located) the ability to interface an E-Stop button or Interlocking switches
(hard contacts), and remote fixed blanking. All models require a supply voltage of +24 V dc ±15%.
Both emitter and receiver feature 7-segment Diagnostic Displays and individual LEDs to provide continuous indication of
operating status, configuration and error conditions. An adhesive Diagnostics label is provided that includes a summary of
the operational and error codes. Active Alignment (Segment) Indicators provide beam block information and easier
on page 59 for more information.
3.1 Appropriate Applications and Limitations
WARNING: Read this Section Carefully Before Installing the System
If all mounting, installation, interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the Banner
device cannot provide the protection for which it was designed. The user is responsible for ensuring that
all local, state, and national laws, rules, codes, or regulations relating to the installation and use of this
control system in any particular application are satisfied. Ensure that all legal requirements have been
met and that all technical installation and maintenance instructions contained in this manual are followed.
The user has the sole responsibility to ensure that this Banner device is installed and interfaced to the
guarded machine by Qualified Persons
1
, in accordance with this manual and applicable safety
regulations. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or death.
The EZ-SCREEN LS ability to perform its safeguarding function depends upon the appropriateness of the application and
upon its proper mechanical and electrical installation and interfacing to the guarded machine. If all mounting, installation,
interfacing, and checkout procedures are not followed properly, the EZ-SCREEN LS cannot provide the protection for which
it was designed.
CAUTION: Install System Only on Appropriate Applications
Banner EZ-SCREEN LS is for use only on machinery that can be stopped immediately after a stop signal
is issued at any point in the machine's stroke or cycle, such as part-revolution clutched machines. Under
no circumstances may the EZ-SCREEN LS be used on full-revolution clutched machinery or in unsuitable
applications as those listed. If there is any doubt about whether or not your machinery is compatible with
the EZ-SCREEN LS, contact Banner Engineering.
3.1.1 Appropriate Applications
EZ-SCREEN LS is typically used for, but is not limited to, the following applications:
• Automated production equipment
• Robotic work cells
• Molding and power presses
• Assembly and packaging machines
• Lean manufacturing systems
3.1.2 Examples: Inappropriate Applications
Do not use EZ-SCREEN LS in the following applications:
• With any machine that cannot be stopped immediately after a stop signal is issued, such as single-stroke (or full-
revolution) clutched machinery
• With any machine with inadequate or inconsistent machine response time and stopping performance
• With any machine that ejects materials or component parts through the defined area
• In any environment that is likely to adversely affect photoelectric sensing efficiency. For example, corrosive
chemicals or fluids or unusually severe levels of smoke or dust, if not controlled, may degrade sensing efficiency
