*U.S. Patent no. 4356393
Infrared, 880 nm
Their small effective beam size is ideal for accuracy-dependent applications, particularly
when used with an aperture (see page 10). They have the power to burn through dust
and dirt, and may even sense opaque materials through a thin-walled container.

only. Recommended for relatively clean environments where high excess gain
is not required.

** Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-3 retroreflector (3" diameter). Actual sensing range may be more or less than
specified, depending upon the efficiency and reflective area of the retroreflector(s) used. See page 9 and your current Banner Photoelectric
Sensors catalog for more information about retroreflective targets.

MINI-BEAM Universal Voltage Series Convergent-Mode Sensors
Convergent-mode sensors feature high excess gain and can detect objects with low
reflectivity. They are a good choice for counting adjacent radiused objects and for
accurate position sensing.
Visible red, 650 nm
These economical single-unit sensors are excellent for sensing objects of
adequate size and reflectivity at short range. Divergent models are useful for
sensing small items and translucent or transparent materials at close range.

MINI-BEAM Universal Voltage Series Plastic Fiber Optic Sensors
Visible red, 650 nm
An excellent option for sensing in tight or inaccessible areas. Fibers withstand
vibration and shock; are immune to electrical noise. Plastic fibers function well at
temperatures between -30º and +70ºC (-20º to +158ºF), and stand up to repeated
flexing. Most are easy to shorten in the field, for custom installations. Not
recommended for severe environments (see glass fiber models).

Installation and Alignment
Proper operation of these sensors requires that they be mounted securely and aligned
properly. Excessive sensor movement or vibration (or movement or vibration of the
fiber tips, in the case of fiber-optic sensors) can result in loss of alignment to the
target object, eventually leading to intermittent or false operation. Banner offers a
complete selection of mounting brackets (see page 9-10); contact the factory for
additional mounting suggestions.
Normal Operation
MINI-BEAM Universal Voltage sensors (except opposed-mode emitters) have two
adjustments: Gain and Light/Dark Operate, plus a Signal Strength indicator LED on
the back of the sensor, protected behind a clear acrylic cover (see Figure 1).
Gain
To increase Gain, turn the 15-turn potentiometer clockwise. It is clutched at both ends
of travel to avoid damage. A “clicking”sound may be heard and/or felt when
attempting to adjust beyond either limit.
Signal Strength Indicator LED
The Signal Strength indicator is Banner’s exclusive, patented AID (Alignment
Indicating Device). Its pulse rate increases as the received light signal strength
increases. This simplifies accurate alignment and gives a relative indication of sensing
contrast.
Light/Dark Operate Select
In Light Operate mode, the sensor output relay energizes when the lighter of the two
conditions is present; in Dark Operate mode, the relay energizes when the darker of
the two conditions is present.
To select Light Operate, insert a small screwdriver into the slot on the select switch
and turn it fully clockwise, until the tabs on the control touch the stop; to select Dark
Operate, turn the select switch fully counterclockwise, until the tabs touch the
opposite side of the stop.
NOTE: Take care when turning the Light/Dark Operate select switch, that the small
tabs on the switch do not become damaged.
Troubleshooting
MINI-BEAM Universal Voltage Series sensors have no field-serviceable parts, other
than replaceable lenses (see page 9).

Retroreflective Targets
Banner offers a wide selection of high-quality retroreflective targets. See the
Accessories section of your current Banner Photoelectric Sensors catalog for
complete information.
NOTE: Polarized sensors require corner cube type retroreflective targets only.
Replacement Lens Assemblies
MINI-BEAM lens assemblies are field-replaceable. In addition, some lenses may be used to convert from one sensing mode to another, or
to change the sensing range of a particular sensor. The possible conversions are listed in the table below.

Opposed-mode MINI-BEAM sensors may be fitted with apertures which narrow or shape the effective beam of the sensor to more closely match the size
or profile of the object to be sensed, for example, the use of “line” (or “slit”) apertures for sensing wire or thread. Each model contains 20 apertures.

WARNING . . . Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current
Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
