2.1 Emitter and Receiver Specifications
Emitter/Receiver Range
Specified at the point where
3x excess gain remains.
3/8" beam spacing
Minimum Object Sensitivity
3/8" beam spacing
Power Requirements
† Maximum current is for a 6'
sensor.
3/8" beam spacing
Status Indicators
Emitter: Red LED lights to indicate proper emitter operation
Receiver: Green indicates sensors aligned (> 3x excess gain)
Yellow indicates marginal alignment of one or more beams
Red indicates sensors misaligned or one or more beam(s) blocked
Sensor Scan Time
55 microseconds per beam, plus post process time per scan. Post process time will vary, based on the
number of channels interrogated during each scan. See page 20 for a description of scan time for each
scanning method and the formula for calculating post process time.
Connections
Sensors connect to controller using 5-conductor quick-disconnect cables (one each for emitter and
receiver), ordered separately; see page 5 for available lengths. Use only Banner cables, which incorporate a
“twisted pair” for noise immunity. Cables measure 8.1 mm (0.32") dia. and are shielded and PVC-jacketed.
Conductors are 20 gauge (0.9 mm). Emitter and receiver cables may not exceed 75 m (250') long, each.
Construction
Aluminum, with black anodized finish; acrylic lens cover
