... As a general rule, if more than three or four MAXI-BEAM sensors using RPBR or RPBR2 power blocks must be connected to the same transformer-isolated ac circuit, consider the substitution of power block model RPBAR2 (for 105-130V ac) or model RPBBR2 (for 210-250V ac), which use conventional ac-to-dc power conversion circuitry. These power blocks connect exactly like model RPBR2, but do not exhibit the peak power demand of a phase-fired design ...

... These blocks are designed to handle the inrush current of ac inductive loads like motor starters and solenoids. There is no mimimum load requirement, and they will interface directly to inputs of all ac programmable logic controllers (PLCs). Special order models RPBAT (120V ac) and RPBBT (240V ac) are available for interfacing to dc loads 100 milliamps. ...

... RPBB START Hookup in Series with other MAXI-BEAMs MAXI-BEAMs which use RPBA or RPBB power blocks may be wired in series for the "AND" logic function. The total voltage drop across the series will be the sum of the individual voltage drops across each power block (approximately 3 volts per block) ...

... MAXI-BEAM sensors cannot wire in series with other 2-wire sensors. If series connection of 2-wire AC sensors is required, consider models within the VALU- BEAM or MINI-BEAM sensor families. 4-wire ac power blocks can wire in series (see RPBA, RPBB). 2-wire MAXI-BEAMs with Parallel Contacts 2-wire MAXI-BEAM sensors may be wired in parallel with mechanical switch or relay con- tacts ...
