: The industry’s most advanced ultrasonic sensing features.
Use an ultrasonic sensor when
your application requires:
• Precise user-defined sensing windows.
• Reliable background suppression proximity
sensing.
• Positive clear-object detection.
• High accuracy in wet or dirty environments.
• Liquid level measurement.
• Immunity to surface color changes.
• Accurate detection of highly reflective targets.
• Reliable operation in high glare or sunlight.
Use an optical sensing method
if your application requires:
• A visible sensing spot on the target.
• Operation in a windy environment.
• Operation in high temperature gradients.
• Sensing through a sight glass as in a vacuum
environment.
• Small spot or target size detection.
• Sensing of an angled surface.
• Fast, sub-millisecond response time.
• Accurate detection of low-density materials.
A new innovation in
programming versatility
and ease-of-use.
Now setting an infinite
number of sensing ranges
and windows is simple!
With a push button right on
the sensor housing or the
turn of a screw, Banner
ultrasonic sensors offer selectable negative or
positive slope for analog sensing. Users can
also choose from a variety of options for
ON/OFF or High/Low level control. A remote
programming option is available that can also
be used to disable the push buttons to prevent
unwanted tampering.
Wide choice of ranges and unique
retrosonic mode.
Available in models with sensing ranges
from 30 mm to 8 m and sensing resolution
from 0.1% to 0.25% of the total sensing
distance, their sophisticated microprocessor
design ensures consistent performance
across the entire sensing range, even with
changing ambient conditions. Many models
feature a retrosonic mode: the sensor is taught a distinct point within its sensing range and
will detect any object regardless of shape, size or reflective angle that crosses between the
sensor face and the taught point.
Temperature compensation.
Because the speed of sound changes 1.8% per 10°C,
many Banner ultrasonic sensor models feature special
temperature compensation circuitry to stabilize
window limit trip points for applications where the
ambient operating temperatures will vary.
