## Overview 

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 (sensor head, power block, and wiring base) and a unique, patented, rotatable programming ring that enables 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 adjustment of system gain. Interchangeable sensor heads are rotatable in 90-degree increments and are available in retroreflective, diffuse, opposed, convergent, fixed-field proximity, and fiberoptic sensing modes. Each sensor head also includes Banner's exclusive, patented AID[™] circuit (Alignment Indicating Device, US Patent no. 4356393), which features an LED alignment indicator that lights whenever the sensor sees its own modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal. 

A wide selection of MAXI-BEAM power block modules is available to interface the sensor head to the circuit to be controlled. The plug-in design of the wiring base enables easy exchange of the entire sensing electronics without disturbing field wiring. 

Optional customer-installable logic modules easily convert the basic ON/OFF MAXIBEAM into either a one-shot or delay logic function control, with several programmable timing ranges for each function.

MAXI-BEAM sensors are ruggedly constructed of molded PBT to NEMA standards 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13, and have interchangeable molded acrylic lenses. Modules simply snap and bolt together, with no interwiring necessary. Module interfaces are o-ring and quad-ring sealed for the ultimate in dust, dirt, and moisture resistance. 

## MAXI-BEAM Opposed Mode Emitter (E) and Receiver (R) 

**==> picture [35 x 39] intentionally omitted <==**

MAXI-BEAM emitters have a visible red "tracer beam". This beam is non-active, and is used as a means of visual alignment during installation. A retroreflector temporarily attached to the receiver lens provides an effective target for the tracer beam during alignment. The narrow beam of the RSBESR/RSBRSR pair is ideal for sensing small parts (effective beam diameter is 3.6 mm (0.14 in). 

One emitter and one receiver are required for use.

## Fiber Optic Mode 

Model RSBFP is a visible-light sensor head designed for use with plastic fiber optics. It is compatible with all standard Banner plastic fiber optic assemblies (see Banner product catalog). In order to function properly, the RSBFP must be programmed for the "HS" response mode. The RSBFP is not for use with glass fiber optics (instead use model RSBF or RSBFV). The model RSBFP will function only when programmed for the "HS" response mode. The model RSBFP will not operate with 2-wire power blocks (models R2PBA and R2PBB).

MAXI-BEAM[®] Sensor Heads 

## Program the Sensor Head 

Program MAXI-BEAM sensor heads for sensor response time (and range) and for LIGHT/DARK operate. 

Each sensor head is supplied with a programming ring which attaches below the sensor head by a system of pegs. There are four programming notches around the perimeter of the ring. To program the sensor head, find the notch that will align with the desired program combination (see figure). 

_Figure 1. Sensor Head and Programming Ring_ 

**Note:** The programming ring may have to be turned upside-down to align the notch with the program. 

If LIGHT OPERATE is selected, the MAXI-BEAM output will energize on a dark-to-light transition. If DARK OPERATE is selected, the MAXI BEAM output will energize on a light-to-dark transition. In the illustration, the MAXI-BEAM is set for high speed (HS) operation in the LIGHT OPERATE output state. See the information about each individual sensor head for the response time and range associated with each setting (HP, 2W, HS, SP). 

**Note:** When programming the RSBE, RSBSER, or RSBEF emitter, select the mode that is programmed for the receiver. **EXCEPTION:** If the receiver is programmed for the 2-wire (2W) mode, select high power (HP) on the emitter.

Red LED on top of sensor head. Banner's exclusive AID[™] circuit 1 lights the LED whenever the sensor sees its own modulated light source, and pulses the LED at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal 

## **False Pulse Suppression on Power-up** 

## **Construction** 

Reinforced molded PBT housing, molded acrylic lenses, o-ring and quad-ring gasketed components. Electronic components are fully epoxy encapsulated. 

## **Environmental Rating** 

NEMA 1, 3, 4, 12, and 13. 

## **Operating Temperature** 

–40 °C to +70 °C (–40 °F to +158 °F) 

## **Required Overcurrent Protection** 

100 ms delay on power-up 

## **Response Time and Repeatability** 

See models tables. The response time and repeatability are independent of signal strength. 

## **Certifications**
