Fiber Systems
Two-part fiber systems include the sensor and the separately
purchased application-specific fiber.
1. Sensors
The sensor contains all the electronics, the amplifier and the
mechanical interface to the fiber. Some models are sealed and
rated IP67 to mount directly on a machine; other are designed
to be DIN-rail mounted in a centralized control enclosure.
2. Fibers
Sensing fibers are non-electronic, light-transmitting, optical-
quality glass or plastic strands encased in cladding that reflects
light to the core. Fibers transmit and/or receive light from the
LED of a sensor. Glass fibers are arranged in bundles, and
plastic fibers are typically packaged as monofilaments with a
protective jacket of polyethylene, PVC, stainless-steel braid or
other material. Fiber sensing tips have a wide variety of shapes
and configurations.
When to Use Fiber Systems
• Confined areas. The small size and flexibility of fibers
allows precise positioning where space is limited.
• High temperatures. Fiber optic assemblies can tolerate
elevated temperatures—in some cases as high as 480° C.
• High vibration and shock. The low mass of fibers enables
them to withstand extreme vibration and mechanical shock.
• Corrosive and wet environments. Special purpose
fibers withstand corrosive materials, moisture and even
repeated washdown.
• Explosive environments. Fibers are passive and can
safely pipe light to and from hazardous areas.
• Noisy environments. Fibers are non-electronic mechanical
components and are completely immune to electrical noise.
• Unique target shapes and requirements. Fiber optic
sensing heads can be custom designed and optimally shaped to
the physical and optical requirements of a specific application.
Typical Applications
• Punch presses • Tablet counting
• Vibratory feeders • Ovens
• Conveyors • Semiconductor processing equipment
• Web control • Liquid level

Plastic fibers are for general purpose use. They tolerate severe flexing, can
be cut to length in the field and cost less than glass fibers. Glass fibers are
the best choice for challenging environments such as high temperatures,
corrosive materials and moisture.
Core–Thin glass or plastic center of the fiber
through which light travels.
Cladding–Outer optical material surrounding
the core that reflects light back into the core.
Jacket–Protective layer to protect plastic fiber
from damage and moisture.

Plastic Fiber Optics
Plastic Fiber Optics
• Provide an economical alternative to glass fiber optics for
piping photoelectric sensing light to and from confined
areas with suitable environments
• Ideal for detecting small objects
• Withstand repeated flexing and bending
• Available in individual or bifurcated styles*
• Available with optional DURA-BEND™ fibers for improved
flexibility for difficult-to-access locations, without the
decreased performance to which excessively bent standard
plastic fibers optics are prone
• Available with core diameters of 0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.0 and
1.5 mm
* All individual plastic fiber optics are sold and used in pairs. Bifurcated fibers are two-way fibers with a single sensing end that both emits and receives light and with dual-
control sensor ends that attach separately to the sensor’s LED and photodetector.
** Plastic fibers with “U” in the suffix of the model numbers have unterminated control ends; cut them to the required length. Use supplied cutter.

Implied Dimensional
Tolerance
All dimensions are in millimeters: x = ±2.5 mm, x.x = ±0.25 mm and x.xx = ±0.12 mm, unless specified.
“L” = ±40 mm per meter
Minimum Bend Radius 8 mm for 0.25 mm diameter fibers
12 mm for 0.5 mm diameter fibers (except DURA-BEND™)
25 mm for 1.0 mm diameter fibers (except DURA-BEND™)
38 mm for 1.5 mm diameter fibers
Repeat Bending/Flexing Life expectancy of plastic fiber optic cable is in excess of one million cycles at bend radii of no less than the
minimum and a bend of 90° or less. Avoid stress at the point where the cable enters the sensor (“control end”)
and at the sensing end tip. Coiled plastic fiber optic assemblies are recommended for any application requiring
reciprocating fiber motion.
Chemical Resistance 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 fiber from most chemical environments. However, materials may
migrate through the jacket with long term exposure. Samples of fiber optic material are available from Banner for
testing and evaluation.
Temperature Extremes Temperatures below -30° C will cause embrittlement of the plastic materials but will not cause transmission loss.
Temperatures above +70° C will cause both transmission loss and fiber shrinkage.
Operating Temperature -30° to +70° C, unless otherwise specified

Plastic fiber assemblies with “U” in the suffix of the model numbers have unterminated control
ends (the end that is coupled to the photoelectric sensor). The customer can cut these fiber optic
assemblies to the required length using the supplied cutter. Use only the supplied cutter to ensure
optimal light coupling efficiency.
Terminated plastic fiber assemblies are optically ground and polished and cannot be shortened,
spliced or otherwise modified.
Do not subject the plastic fibers to sharp bends, pinching, high tensile loads or high levels of
radiation.
When ordering fiber lengths in excess of 2 m, take into account light signal attenuation due to the
additional length.
Due to their light transmission properties, plastic fiber optics are recommended for use only with
visible light fiber optic sensors.
Use caution when applying fiber optics in hazardous locations. Although fiber optic assemblies are,
by themselves, intrinsically safe, the sensor and associated electronics must be LOCATED IN A SAFE
ENVIRONMENT. Alternatively, fiber optics may be used with NAMUR sensor model Q45AD9FP
(page 152). Fiber optics do not necessarily provide a hermetic seal between a hazardous environment
and the safe environment.

Glass Fiber Optics Specifications
Construction Combination of optical glass fiber, stainless steel or PVC, brass, molded thermoplastics, and optical-grade epoxy.
Optical fiber is F2 core, EN1 clad, approx. 50 µm diameter per strand. Flexible steel interlock sheathing is 302
stainless.
Sensing Range Refer to the specific fiber optic to be used.
Bend Radius Inside bend radius must b 12 mm or greater for PVC covered fiber optic assemblies, and 25 mm or greater for
stainless steel armored cable covered fibers.
Length Standard length for assemblies is 915 mm; see dimension diagrams.
Most models are available from the factory with shorter or longer cable lengths, up to 18 m max.
Length Dimension Tolerance Overall assembly length: ±12 mm per 300 mm of length
Shrink junction dimensions: ±12 mm
Implied Dimensional
Tolerances
All dimensions are in millimeters: x = ±2.5 mm, x.x = ±0.25 mm and x.xx = ±0.12 mm, unless specified.
Operating Conditions Fiber assemblies with stainless-steel (SS) sheathing and metal end tips: -140° to +249° C
Fiber assemblies with PVC sheathing and/or plastic end tips: -40° to +105° C
Special order assemblies with SS sheathing and metal end tips and model suffix “M600”: -140° to +315° C*
Special order assemblies with SS sheathing and metal end tips and model suffix “M900”: -140° to +480° C*;

The ends of glass fiber optic assemblies are optically ground and polished. Care taken in this
manufacturing process accounts for the light coupling efficiency of the fiber optic assembly. As a
result, glass fiber assemblies cannot be shortened, spliced, or otherwise modified.
Use caution when applying fiber optics in hazardous locations. Although fiber optic assemblies
are, by themselves, intrinsically safe, the sensor and associated electronics must be LOCATED IN A
SAFE ENVIRONMENT. Alternatively, fiber optics may be used with sensor model SMI912FQD (page
32). This sensor is approved for use inside hazardous areas when used with an appropriate intrinsic
barrier. Also, see NAMUR sensor models Q45AD9F (page 152) and MIAD9F (page 86). Fiber optics do
not necessarily provide a hermetic seal between a hazardous environment and the safe environment.
In applications where glass fibers to insulate the control from high voltage, specify silicone rubber,
Teflon®, or high-density polyethylene sheathing with no reinforcing wire in the cable. It is the
responsibility of the user to test each fiber optic assembly for insulation capacity.
Do not subject the fibers to sharp bends, pinching, repeated flexing or high levels of radiation.
When ordering fiber lengths in excess of 1 m, take into account light signal reduction of 5 percent per
300 mm of additional length.
