Modular Self-contained Photoelectric Sensors

Standard OMNI-BEAMs are modular, self-contained photo-

electric sensors consisting of a sensor head, a power block, and

(optionally) an output timing logic module. Standard OMNI-

BEAM sensor heads feature Banner's exclusive (US patent no.

4965548) D.A.T.A.™ (Display and Trouble Alert) indicator sys-

tem. The D.A.T.A. system is a built-in 10-element LED array that

displays sensing contrast and relative signal strength. When used

along with the dedicated alarm output, it warns of impending

sensing problems before a failure occurs, thereby preventing

expensive down-time. The D.A.T.A. system indicator array is

easily visible through a transparent, gasketed sensor head cover.

Modular design, using interchangeable components, allows for use

of either ac (105-130V or 210-250V) or dc (10-30V) power blocks

plus the easy addition of optional timing logic modules.

Standard OMNI-BEAM ac-operated power blocks feature a solid-

state ac output relay. DC-operated power blocks feature another

Banner exclusive, Bi-Modal™ output circuitry (US patent no.

4982107), for either sinking (NPN) or sourcing (PNP) interface

requirements, depending upon the polarity with which the two dc

power supply leads are connected. All sensing modes are avail-

able, including opposed, retroreflective, diffuse (proximity), con-

vergent, and glass and plastic fiber optic.

OMNI-BEAM Dimensions (with dc Power Block) OMNI-BEAM Dimensions (with ac Power Block)

All OMNI-BEAMs offer a choice of prewired cable or quick-

disconnect cable fittings. OMNI-BEAM sensors have cross-hole

design (with standard limit-switch hole spacing) for back, front, or

side mounting, plus a 30mm threaded base mounting hub. An

accessory right angle 11-gauge stainless steel adjustable mounting

bracket (model SMB30MM) and a VALOX® swivel mount bracket

(model SMB30SM, page 16) are available. All assembled OMNI-

BEAM sensors are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 12, and 13.

Ordering OMNI-BEAM Sensors

OMNI-BEAM sensors are ordered by specifying a sensor head

module, a power block module, and an output timing logic module.

OMNI-BEAM's sensor

head and power block

bolt and plug together

quickly and easily.

An optional timing

logic module may be

Banner's exclusive D.A.T.A. (Display and Trouble Alert) system warns of mar-

ginal sensing conditions usually before a sensing failure occurs. This self-checking

diagnostic system warns of a problem by flashing one or more lights in a multiple-

LED array, and by sending a warning signal to the system logic controller (or

directly to an audible or visual alarm) by way of the OMNI-BEAM's dedicated

alarm output.

The D.A.T.A. lights are located on the top of the sensor head and are viewed through

a transparent LEXAN® cover. The D.A.T.A. lights are configured as follows:

Moisture Alert: Severe moisture inside the sensor head, caused

by condensation or by entry of moisture when the access cover is removed,

will cause the #1 light to flash.

High Temperature Alert: When the temperature inside the sensor

head exceeds 70°C (+158°F), the #2 light will flash.

Low Voltage or Overload Alert: The number #3 light will flash whenever the sensor supply voltage drops below the minimum

that is specified for the power block in use (see power block specifications, pages 12 and 13). Power block outputs are also shut down

to prevent damage to the load(s) from low voltage.

When using dc power block models OPBT2, OPBT2QD, or OPBT2QDH, the #3 light will flash if either the load output or the alarm output

becomes shorted. Both outputs will be inhibited, and the circuit will "retry" the outputs every 1/10 second. The outputs will automatically reset

and function normally when the short is corrected.

High Gain Warning: The #9 light will flash if the "dark" signal never goes below #4 on the display, and instruct the operator to

decrease the gain (see photo above). There are two possible conditions:

1) The High Gain Warning alarm will come "on" if the "dark" signal slowly increases to the #4 level and remains at that level for a

predetermined delay time. This condition is commonly caused by an increase (over time) of unwanted background reflections when

using reflective sensing modes, such as diffuse (proximity) and convergent beam. The alarm will reset as soon as the cause of the

unwanted light signal is removed, or if the GAIN control setting is reduced to bring the "dark" condition below the #4 level.

2) The High Gain Warning alarm will latch "on" if the "dark" signal does not fall below the #4 level during a sensing event. The alarm

is automatically reset on any subsequent sensing event in which the "dark" sensing level falls below the #4 level. This is accomplished

by reducing the GAIN control setting and/or by removing the cause of the unwanted light return in the "dark" condition.

Low Gain Warning: The #10 light will flash if the "light" signal never goes above #5 on the display, and instruct the operator to

increase the gain (see photo, above). There are two possible conditions:

1) The Low Gain Warning alarm will come "on" if the light signal slowly decreases to the #5 level and remains at that level for a

predetermined delay time. This situation most commonly occurs in opposed or retroreflective sensing systems, and is caused by a

decrease in light in the unblocked condition (over time) due to obscured lenses or gradual sensor misalignment. The alarm will reset

as soon as the light signal strength exceeds the #5 level.

2) The Low Gain Warning alarm will latch "on" if the light signal does not exceed the #5 level during a sensing event. The alarm is

automatically reset by any subsequent sensing event in which the "light" signal exceeds the #5 level. This is accomplished by increasing

the GAIN control setting and/or by lens cleaning and sensor realignment.

Low Contrast Warning: The #9 and #10 D.A.T.A. lights will flash simultaneously to indicate that there is not enough optical

contrast for reliable sensing. This occurs when the "light" condition is at the #5 level and the "dark" condition is at the #4 level for a

sensing event. If this warning occurs, the application should be fully re-evaluated to find ways to increase the differential between the

"light" and "dark" conditions. The Low Contrast alarm is automatically reset by any subsequent sensing event in which the "light"

signal exceeds the #5 level and the "dark" signal falls below the #4 level.

SENSE

LOAD

Standard OMNI-BEAM Sensor Heads

The SENSE LED indicates when a target has been sensed. When the sensor head is programmed for LIGHT operate, it lights when

the sensor receives enough light to exceed the #5 threshold. When programmed for DARK operate, it lights when the received signal

falls below the #5 threshold. The SENSE LED is located at the far left end of the D.A.T.A. array.

The LOAD indicator LED lights whenever the load is energized (after the timing function, if any). The LOAD LED is located at

the far right end of the D.A.T.A. array.

The SENSE and LOAD indicator LED locations are visible in the photograph above.

SENSE and LOAD Indicator LEDs

D.A.T.A. (patent #4965548) Sensor Self-diagnostic System

™

For example, if LEDs #1 through #8 come "on"

in the "light" condition and LEDs #1 and #2 come

"on" in the "dark" condition (as shown in the

photos at right), the contrast (referring to the

table at the top of this page) is calculated as

follows:

This value is expressed as "6:1" or "six-to-one".

The best sensor adjustment will cause all ten

D.A.T.A. LEDs to come "on" for the "light"

condition, and will cause no LEDs to come "on"

in the "dark" condition. In this situation (such as

an application in which a box breaks a the beam

of an opposed mode emitter and receiver):

Contrast is greater than 3.7x = 15:1

0.25x

Contrast is the ratio of the amount of light falling on the receiver in

the "light" state as compared to the "dark" state. Contrast is also

referred to as "light-to-dark ratio". Optimizing the contrast in any

sensing situation will increase the reliability of the sensing system.

Contrast may be calculated if excess gain values are known for both

the light and dark conditions:

Contrast =

D.A.T.A. light

LED number STANDARD

scale factor

To determine the contrast for any sensing application, present both the

"light" and "dark" conditions to the OMNI-BEAM, and read the

D.A.T.A. signal for each. Take the ratio of the two numbers (from the

table above) that correspond to the highest D.A.T.A. light numbers

registered for the "light" and "dark" conditions.

Standard OMNI-BEAM Sensor Heads

Of course, it is not always possible to adjust a sensor to maintain this much contrast.

However, it is important to always adjust a sensor for the greatest amount of contrast

possible for any sensing situation. The D.A.T.A. light system makes this easy. The

Contrast Values and Corresponding Guidelines table (above) gives general guidelines for

contrast values.

Measuring Excess Gain and Contrast

The OMNI-BEAM's D.A.T.A. lights may be used to measure the

excess gain and contrast in any sensing situation and during installa-

tion and maintenance.

Excess gain is a measurement of the amount of light energy falling

on the receiver of a photoelectric sensor over and above the minimum

amount necessary to operate the sensor's amplifier. Excess gain is

expressed as a ratio:

Excess gain (E.G.) = light energy falling on receiver

amplifier threshold

The amplifier threshold is the point at which the sensor's output

switches. The OMNI-BEAM's threshold corresponds to the #5 level

of the D.A.T.A. light array. That is, when LEDs #1 through #5 are lit,

the excess gain of the received light signal is equal to "1x".

The table below (Relationship between Excess Gain and D.A.T.A.

System Lights) shows how excess gain relates to the D.A.T.A. light

array indication.

DARK condition example: D.A.T.A. system

LEDs #1 and #2 lit. LIGHT condition example: D.A.T.A. system

Factory settings:

The following are the factory program settings for OMNI-BEAM sensor heads.

Switch #1: "on" = normal hysteresis Switch #2: "off" = normally closed alarm output

Switch #3: "off" = light operate of load output Switch #4: "off" = standard scale factor for signal strength meter

Standard OMNI-BEAM sensor head modules are available in all photoelectric

sensing modes: opposed, retroreflective, diffuse (proximity), convergent-

beam, and fiber optic (both glass and plastic). They offer the same outstanding

optical performance as established by Banner's MULTI-BEAM and MAXI-

BEAM sensor families.

Construction: Standard OMNI-BEAM sensor heads are molded from rugged

VALOX® thermoplastic polyester for outstanding electrical and mechanical

performance in demanding applications. The top view window is LEXAN®

polycarbonate. Lenses are acrylic. Hardware is stainless steel. When

assembled, all parts are fully gasketed. Standard OMNI-BEAM sensor heads

are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 12, and 13.

Operating Temperature Range: -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F).

Delay upon Power-up: 200 milliseconds maximum (power block outputs are

non-conducting during this time)

Standard OMNI-BEAM Sensor Heads

Standard OMNI-BEAM sensor heads are field-programmable for four oper-

ating parameters. A set of four programming DIP switches is located at the base

of the sensor head (see photo at right), and is accessible with the sensor block

removed from the power block.

Switch #1 selects the amount of sensing hysteresis. Hysteresis is an electronic

sensor design consideration which states that the amount of received light signal

required to operate the sensor's output is not the same as the amount required

to release the output. This differential prevents the sensing output from

"buzzing" or "chattering" when a light signal at or near the sensing threshold

level is detected.

Setting switch #1 to the "on" position programs the sensor head for "normal"

hysteresis. The NORMAL setting should be used always, except for low-

contrast situations like the detection of subtle differences in reflectivity. NOTE:

the "low" hysteresis setting (switch #1 "off") should be used only when all

sensing conditions remain completely stable.

Switch #2 selects the alarm output configuration. With switch #2 "on", the alarm output is normally

open (i. e., it conducts with an alarm). Turning switch #2 "off" programs the alarm output for normally

closed operation (i.e., the output opens during an alarm).

The normally closed mode (switch #2 "off") is recommended. This allows a system controller to

recognize a sensor power loss or an open sensor output as an alarm condition. The normally open alarm

mode (switch #2 "on") should be used when the alarm outputs of multiple Standard OMNI-BEAMs are

wired in parallel to a common alarm or alarm input.

Switch #3 selects LIGHT operate (switch #3 "off") or DARK operate (switch #3 "on"). In the LIGHT operate mode, the OMNI-BEAM's

load output will energize (after a time delay, if timing logic is employed) when the received light level is greater than the sensing threshold

(i.e., when five or more D.A.T.A. lights are illuminated). In DARK operate, the output will energize (after a time delay, if any) when the received

light level is less than the sensing threshold (i.e., when four or less D.A.T.A. lights are illuminated).

For example, when sensing in a beam-break mode like opposed or retroreflective:

1) The DARK operate mode would be used to energize the OMNI-BEAM's output whenever an object is present, and blocking the beam.

2) The LIGHT operate mode would be used to energize the output whenever the beam is unblocked (i.e., object missing).

Similarly, when using a reflective sensing mode like diffuse (proximity) or convergent-beam:

1) The LIGHT operate mode would be used to energize the OMNI-BEAM's output whenever an object is present in front of the sensor,

reflecting the light beam back to the receiver.

2) The DARK operate mode would be used to energize the output whenever the reflection is lost (i.e., object missing).

Switch #4 selects the STANDARD (switch #4 "off") or FINE (switch #4 "on") scale factor for the D.A.T.A. light signal strength indicator

array. This switch should always be in the "off" position, except for close differential sensing situations, like some color registration

applications, which also require the LOW hysteresis setting (switch #1 "off").

OSBDX

The visible red sensing beam of these retrore-

flective sensors makes them very easy to align.

The "AG" (anti-glare) model polarizes the emit-

ted light and filters out unwanted reflections,

making sensing possible in applications other-

wise considered unsuited to retroreflective sens-

ing. Use "AG" models only in very clean

environments, and use with the model BRT-3 3"

reflector. NOTE: for detailed information on

retroreflective targets, see the Banner product

catalog.

Diffuse (proximity) mode sensors detect ob-

jects by sensing their own emitted light re-

flected from the object. They are ideal for use

when the reflectivity and profile of the object to

be detected are sufficient to return a large per-

centage of emitted light back to the sensor.

Model OSBDX is the first choice for diffuse

(proximity) mode applications when there is no

requirement for less than 15ms response and

where there are no background objects to falsely

return light.

These sensors are ideal for reflective sensing of very small parts

reflective objects which are beyond its sensing depth of field, and

produces a visible red sensing spot which greatly simplifies align-

ment and makes it useful in many high-contrast color registration

applications.

Retroreflective Fiber Optic Mode

Diffuse Fiber Optic Mode

Fiber optics (sometimes called "light pipes") are often used to

sense small parts. Small parts or narrow profiles which move at

a high rate of speed can require sensors with fast response times

for reliable detection.

High speed fiber optic sensor heads, such as model OSBF, are

ideal for sensing gear or sprocket teeth or other targets in

applications involving counters or shift registers for position

control. Selection of the fiber optic sensing tip should involve

matching the effective beam of the fiber to the profile of the part

to be sensed to maximize the time that the part is sensed and/or

the time between adjacent parts. Combining the best selection of

fiber tip geometry with a high speed sensor will result in a highly

repeatable position sensing system.

The model BT13S fiber optic assembly used with a model L9 or

L16F lens and an OMNI-BEAM using a model OSBF sensor

head is an excellent system for retroreflective code reading or for

almost any short range retroreflective sensing application.

industry. As a result, opposed individual fibers

operate reliably in many very hostile environ-

ments. Also, special miniature bifurcated fiber

optic assemblies with bundle sizes as small as

.020 inch (.5mm) in diameter may be used suc-

cessfully for diffuse mode sensing. The excess

gain curves and beam patterns illustrate response

with standard .060 inch (1.5mm) diameter and

.12 inch (3mm) diameter bundles. Response for

smaller or larger bundle sizes may be interpo-

lated.

OSBFV

VISIBLE-LIGHT FIBER OPTIC Mode (glass fibers)

Model OSBFV is a visible-light version of

the model OSBF. It is compatible with

Banner individual and bifurcated glass fi-

ber optic assemblies.

The visible red light source of the OSBFV

increases optical contrast in many sensing

situations, which makes it particularly use-

ful for most applications involving dif-

fuse-mode color registration sensing. (An

important exception is applications involv-

ing red-on-white contrasts, which require

a green light source.)

The OSBFV is also well suited to presence

sensing of translucent materials and regis-

tration mark sensing on clear webs in the

opposed mode, and for code-reading and/

or short-range or narrow-beam sensing in

the retroreflective mode. Diffuse Mode

The OSBEF/OSBRF opposed mode infra-

red fiber optic pair is compatible with Ban-

ner glass fiber optics. Because the emitter

and receiver are separate units, they are

ideal for applications in which it is inconve-

nient to route fiber optic assemblies to both

sides of a process from a single sensor.

Emitters and receivers each have two active

fiber optic ports, which makes it possible to

configure two pairs of opposed fibers for

"both parts present" (two-channel DARK

AND) logic.

FIBER OPTIC Mode (plastic fibers)

Plastic fiberoptics are lower in cost than

glass fiber optics, and are ideal for use in

situations where environmental conditions

allow (see information below). They are

easily cut to length in the field, and are

available in a variety of sensing end styles.

For further information, refer to the Banner

ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS FOR PLASTIC FIBER OPTICS

OPERATING TEMPERATURE OF PLASTIC FIBER OPTIC ASSEMBLIES:

-30 to +70 degrees C (-20 to +158 degrees F).

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE OF PLASTIC FIBER OPTIC ASSEMBLIES:

the acrylic core of the monofilament optical fiber will be damaged by contact with

acids, strong bases (alkalis), and solvents. The polyethylene jacket will protect the

optical fiber from most chemical environments; however, materials may migrate

through the jacket with long-term exposure. Samples of plastic fiber optic

material are available from Banner for testing and evaluation.

Model OSBFAC with power block and rectangular fiber

optics attached.

The OMNI-BEAM™ model OSBFAC is a special-purpose ac-

coupled fiber optic sensor head module. It is intended for applications

in which the light signal change is so small that sensitivity adjustment

of ordinary dc-coupled sensors is difficult or impossible. The OSBFAC

responds to even smaller signal changes than do standard fiber optic

OMNI-BEAM sensors set for LOW hysteresis, and is less affected by

gradual signal changes due to dirt buildup, etc. Typical applications

include thread break detection, web flaw detection, and detection of

small parts falling randomly from vibratory feeders or small presses.

Many such low-contrast photoelectric sensing applications present

problems to dc-coupled sensors because of switching hysteresis. Switch-

ing hysteresis is a designed-in property of dc-coupled sensors that

causes the "turn-on" point of the sensor's dc-coupled amplifier to be

slightly different than the "turn-off" point. Its purpose is to prevent

"indecision" and erratic operation of the sensor's output circuit when the

light signal is at or near the switching point of the dc-coupled amplifier.

The OSBFAC, with its ac-coupled amplifier, reliably amplifies the

small signal changes found in many low-contrast sensing applications.

An automatic gain control (AGC) feedback system locks onto the light

signal and continually adjusts the light intensity of the emitter so that the

system is always maintained at exactly the desired reference level

regardless of the sensing range or degree of environmental contamina-

tion. A multi-turn GAIN control enables setting of the amplifier

sensitivity.

Instead of the D.A.T.A.™ array of other OSB Series sensor heads, the

OSBFAC has a LOCK indicator LED that lights when the AGC circuit

has locked onto the signal, and a LOAD indicator LED that lights

whenever the sensor's output circuit is energized. Both LEDs are easily

visible beneath the OSBFAC's transparent LEXAN® top cover.

A slide switch inside the base of the OSBFAC sensor head selects either

light- or dark-operate. When light operate is selected, output occurs on

a dark-to-light transition. When dark-operate is selected, output occurs

on a light-to-dark transition. The OSBFAC requires use of the model

OLM8 or OLM8M1 slide-in logic module. Sensor head output is in the

form of a quick pulse, and an OLM8 Series module is used to condition

this pulse to the desired length. See page 15 for further information on

these logic modules.

The OSBFAC ac-coupled fiber optic sensor head may be used with any

of the following OMNI-BEAM power block models: OPBT2 and

OPBT2QD (powered by 10 to 30V dc); OPBA2 and OPBA2QD

(powered by 105 to 130V ac); or OPBB2 and OPBB2QD (powered

by 210 to 250V ac). See pages 13 and 14 for power block information.

The OSBFAC detects small parts

falling randomly from a vibratory

feeder.

Hookup of Emitter

Standard OMNI-BEAM emitter

sensor blocks (models OSBE

and OSBEF) simply require

supply voltage to operate.

Power blocks without output

circuitry are available for

powering emitters. However,

power blocks with output

circuitry may also be used to

power emitters (output circuitry

will go unused).

Standard OMNI-BEAM dc

power blocks interface directly

to any type of programmable

logic controller or computer dc

input.

The current sinking configura-

tion (NPN) is shown here. For

the current sourcing configura-

tion, simply reverse the polarity

to the BROWN and BLUE

power supply wires.

Standard OMNI-BEAM dc power blocks provide regulated low voltage

dc power to the sensor head and logic module (if one is used), with input

of 10 to 30V dc. There are two infinite-life outputs, one for the load and

the other for the alarm of the D.A.T.A. self-diagnostic system.

All models, except emitter-only types, have the unique Bi-Modal™

output design (US patent no. 4982107) that offers either sinking (NPN) or

sourcing (PNP) outputs, depending upon the polarity with which the two

dc supply leads are connected. Outputs are protected from overload,

shorted load, or low voltage conditions. Outputs automatically reset when

the cause of the problem is cleared. Problems are identified by the

D.A.T.A. light system.

All standard OMNI-BEAM power blocks are epoxy-encapsulated and

rated for -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F). They feature limit switch style

cross-hole design for front, back, or side mounting, plus a 30mm threaded

hub for swivel bracket or through-hole mounting. Models include

prewired cable or either style of quick-disconnect (QD) fitting. As-

sembled OMNI-BEAM Sensors are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 12, and 13.

*NOTE: contact factory for availability of eurofast™ QD models.

Input: 10 to 30V dc at less than 80mA (exclusive of loads), 10%

maximum ripple.

Output: two identical open-collector transistors, one for load and one for

alarm. Both are configured to either sink (NPN) or source (PNP),

depending upon the polarity of the power supply leads (see hookup

drawings). 100mA maximum continuous, overload and short circuit

protected (both outputs). Off-state leakage current less than 100 mi-

croamps. NOTES: Interface to TTL logic is not direct (contact factory).

When the load and the OMNI-BEAM do not share a common power

supply, load voltage must be ≤ the sensor supply voltage.

On-state Voltage Drop:

NPN outputs: <1.0V @10mA load, and <1.5V @100mA load.

PNP outputs: <1.0V @10mA load, and <1.5V @100mA load.

AC Sensors in Series

Standard OMNI-BEAM ac

power blocks may be wired

together in series with each

other for "AND" logic.

The total voltage drop across

the series will be the sum of the

individual voltage drops across

each power block (approx. 3

volts per block). With most

loads, 10 or more power blocks

may be wired in series.

sensor blocks (models OSBE

and OSBEF) simply require

Hookup of Emitter

Standard OMNI-BEAM ac power blocks are available for either 120V ac or 220/240V ac.

They provide the regulated low-voltage dc power required to run the circuitry of the sensor

head and logic module (if one is used). All models, except emitter-only types, have two solid-

state output circuits, one for switching the load and the other for the alarm of the D.A.T.A. self-

diagnostic system.

The LOAD output is an isolated 1/2-amp rated infinite-life solid-state relay. The alarm output

is also a solid-state relay, rated at 0.2 amps, with one side of the contact tied internally to the

"hot" side of the ac supply voltage. Both outputs have very low off-state leakage current for

direct interfacing to programmable logic controllers (PLCs).

All Standard OMNI-BEAM power blocks are epoxy-encapsu-

lated and rated for -40 to +70°C (-40 to +158°F). They feature

limit-switch style cross-hole design for front, back, or side

mounting, plus a 30mm threaded hub for swivel bracket or

through-hole mounting. Models include prewired cable or

quick-disconnect (QD) fitting. Assembled OMNI-BEAM Sen-

sors are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 12, & 13.

Response Time: A disabled timing function adds no measurable sensing response time.

OMNI-BEAM Logic Module Specifications

Model OLM5 is programmable for ON-DELAY or OFF-

DELAY or ON/OFF DELAY timing functions. Each

delay function may be independently adjusted and sepa-

rately programmed for either a long or short adjustment

range.

OLM5 Delay Timer Logic Module

NOTE 1: if both ranges of either delay function are selected (i.e., if both 1 second and 15 second switches are "on"), the delay time range becomes 16 seconds, maximum.

NOTE 2: with switches #1 and #2 "off" (no ON-DELAY programmed), ON-DELAY is adjustable from "negligible" up to 100 milliseconds, maximum.

NOTE 3: with switches #3 and #4 "off" (no OFF-DELAY programmed), OFF-DELAY is adjustable from "negligible" up to 100 milliseconds, maximum.

Models OLM8 and OLM8M1 are programmable for

either a ONE-SHOT ("single-shot") pulse timer or a

DELAYED ONE-SHOT logic timer. DELAY and PULSE

times may be independently adjusted and separately pro-

grammed for either a long or short adjustment range.

OLM8M1 maximum times are 1/10 those of the OLM8.

NOTE 3: with switches #1 and #2 "off" (no DELAY programmed), DELAY is adjustable from "negligible" up to 10 (4.5*) milliseconds, maximum.

Standard OMNI-BEAM sensors easily accept the addition of timing logic when needed.

Three multiple-function logic modules are available (see photo, upper right). Model

OLM5 is programmable for ON-delay, OFF-delay, or ON/OFF-delay timing logic.

Models OLM8 and OLM8M1 offer either ONE-SHOT or DELAYED ONE-SHOT

functions. Programming of the logic function, the timing range, and the output state is

done via a set of four switches located on the logic module.

Both logic modules feature 15-turn clutched potentiometers for accurate timing adjust-

ments. The logic module simply slides into the sensor head housing and interconnects

without wires (see photo, lower right). Timing adjustments are easily accessible at the top

of the sensor head, and are protected by the sensor head's transparent, gasketed LEXAN®

cover. Assembled sensors are rated NEMA 1, 2, 3, 3S, 4, 12, and 13.

OMNI-BEAM Logic Modules

NOTE 1: DELAY is non-

Quick-disconnect Cables

Quick-disconnect cables are available in two styles: minifast™ SJT-type and eurofast™ ST-style* (standard dc power blocks only).

They are ideal for use in situations where it is desireable to be able to substitute or replace the sensor and/or cabling.

Standard OMNI-BEAM dc power blocks use 4-conductor cables. Standard ac models use cables with 5 conductors. It is impossible to

plug either an ac or a dc sensor into the wrong cable.

Minifast cables are 12 feet long. Eurofast cables are 15 feet long. All quick-disconnect cables have 22 AWG conductors.

Dimensional information is given in the drawings below.
