VS8 Series Sensor Product Manual Product Description ## Class 1 Laser Description and Safety Information Laser light. Do not stare into the beam. **CLASS 1** Complies with 21 CFR 1040.10 and 1040.11 except for **LASER PRODUCT** deviations pursuant to Laser Notice No. 56, dated May 8, 2019. L__ - CAUTION: • Never stare directly into the sensor lens. • Laser light can damage your eyes. • Avoid placing any mirror-like object in the beam. Never use a mirror as a retroreflective target. ## CAUTION: - Return defective units to the manufacturer. - Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. - Do not attempt to disassemble this sensor for repair. A defective unit must be returned to the manufacturer. Class 1 lasers are lasers that are safe under reasonably foreseeable conditions of operation, including the use of optical instruments for intrabeam viewing. Complies with IEC 60825-1:2014 and EN 60825-1:2014+A11:2021. For safe laser use: - Do not stare at the laser. - • Do not point the laser at a person’s eye. • Mount open laser beam paths either above or below eye level, where practical. • Terminate the beam emitted by the laser product at the end of its useful path. ## Class 1 Laser Characteristics Output power: ≤ 2.3 mW Laser wavelength: 655 nm Pulse duration: 3.2 μs 31-Oct-24 page 5 of 22 © Banner Engineering Corp.

Pulse durations for the remote input wire correspond to the indicated press durations of the push button. ## VS8 Remote Configuration – 4-Pin Models The remote input wire (pin-2/white wire) is used to select light or dark operate, or perform the desired TEACH method. Closing and opening times for the remote input wire correspond to the indicated press/hold durations of the push button. ## VS8 Two-Point Static Background Suppression Two-point TEACH sets a single switch point. The sensor sets the switch point between two taught target distances, relative to the shifted origin location. 1.
