Banner MAXI-BEAM sensors are highly versatile, self-contained,
modularized photoelectric sensing controls that are ideally suited to
industrial environments. The basic MAXI-BEAM is an ON/OFF
switch consisting of three modules: a sensor head, a power block, and
a wiring base.
The sensor head contains the complete modulated photoelectric ampli-
fier as well as the emitter and receiver optoelements. A unique,
patented, "programming ring" (supplied with each sensor head) en-
ables you to program your choice of "light" or "dark" operate mode,
sensing range, and response time. MAXI-BEAM sensor heads have an
easily-accessible multi-turn SENSITIVITY control for precise adjust-
ment of system gain. Interchangeable sensor heads are rotatable in 90-
degree increments, and are available in opposed, retroreflective, dif-
fuse, convergent, and fiber optic models. Each sensor head also
includes Banner's exclusive, patented Alignment Indicating Device
(AID™, U.S. patent #4356393), which lights a top-mounted LED
when the sensor "sees" its own modulated light source and pulses at a
rate proportional to the received light signal strength.
The power block provides the interface between the sensor head and
the external circuit. It contains the power supply for the MAXI-BEAM
plus a switching device to interface with the circuit to be controlled.
DC power block versions operate on 10 to 30V dc and have solid-state
sourcing and sinking outputs rated at 250mA each (maximum). AC
models are available for 120V or 240V ac operation, and are offered in
both 2-wire and 3- or 4-wire formats. The plug-in design of the wiring
base enables easy exchange of the entire sensing electronics without
disturbing the field wiring. Status LEDs on the power block module
continuously indicate the state of the output circuit.
Optional logic modules are available which easily convert the basic
ON/OFF MAXI-BEAM into either a one-shot or delay logic function
control. The logic module comes with a programming ring which is
used to select one of several timing ranges for each logic function.
Timing adjustments are made via two 15-turn clutched potentiometers,
accessible from the outside. Once programmed, the logic module may
be rotated in 90-degree increments to allow time adjustment access
from the most convenient location.

All MAXI-BEAM components are encapsulated within rugged, corro-
sion-resistant VALOX
4, 12, and 13 standards. Modules simply snap and bolt together, with
no interwiring necessary. Module interfaces are o-ring and quad-ring
sealed for the ultimate in dirt, dust, and moisture resistance. All
MAXI-BEAM components (except for power block model RPBR) are
totally solid-state for unlimited life. MAXI-BEAM assemblies have
the same mounting configuration as Banner MULTI-BEAM sensors,
and are physically interchangeable with heavy-duty industrial limit
switches.
Most MAXI-BEAM sensors are CSA certified and UL listed. See the
power block information on pages 8 to 13.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection.
Their use as a safety device may create an unsafe condition which could
lead to serious injury or death.
Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and
other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA and ANSI
machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No
other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards,
and they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.

WARNING
presence sensors do NOT include the self-checking
redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in
personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or
malfunction can result in either an energized or a
de-energized sensor output condition.
