OMNI-BEAM Over view
Modular Design
OMNI-BEAM is a modular self-contained sensor. It is made up of a sensor head and a
power block; an optional plug-in timing logic module may be added easily. The three
modular components, sold separately, simply plug and bolt together — without
interwiring — to create a complete self-contained photoelectric sensor tailored to a
particular application’s exact sensing requirements.
The sensor lenses and modular components are all field-replaceable. OMNI-BEAM’s
modular design makes change-out of any component quick and easy.

Sensor Heads
A sensor head module is available for every sensing situation. Sensor heads bolt
directly onto the power block, and are fully gasketed for protection against
environmental elements. The D.A.T.A. self-diagnostic feature is standard on all OMNI-
BEAM sensor heads (except emitters and model OSBFAC). Select from most sensing
modes, with infrared or visible red, green or blue sensing beams available.

Optional Timing Logic Modules
Timing logic may be added at any time, using one of three timing delay and pulse
logic modules. Installation is simple and quick; the logic modules simply slide into the
sensor head (see Figure 4). Program them for timing functions and ranges via four
DIP switches; each module includes easily accessible 15-turn clutched potentiometers
for accurate timing adjustments.

Sensor Head Programming
DIP Switch Settings
OMNI-BEAM sensor heads are field-programmable for four operating parameters. To
access the four programming DIP switches (see figure 5), remove the sensor block
from the power block.
Switch #1, Sensing Hysteresis
ON: Standard hysteresis.
OFF: Low hysteresis; should be used only when all sensing conditions remain
completely stable.
Hysteresis is an electronic sensor requirement that the amount of received light
needed to energize the sensor’s output not be equal to the amount needed to release
the output. This differential prevents the sensing output from “buzzing” or
“chattering” when the received light signal is at or near the sensing threshold level.
The standard setting should be used always, except for low-contrast applications
such as the detection of subtle differences in reflectivity.
Switch #2, Alarm Output Configuration
ON: Alarm output is normally open (it conducts with an alarm).
OFF: Alarm output is normally closed (the output opens during an alarm).
Normally closed mode (OFF) is recommended; it allows a system controller to
recognize a sensor power loss or an open sensor output as an alarm condition.
Normally open alarm mode (ON) should be used when the alarm outputs of multiple
OMNI-BEAMs are wired in parallel to a common alarm or alarm input.
Switch #3, Light or Dark Operate
ON: Dark Operate mode; the output energizes (after a time delay, if applicable) when
the received light level is less than the sensing threshold (4 or fewer D.A.T.A.
lights ON).
OFF: Light Operate mode; the sensor’s load output energizes (after a time delay, if
applicable) when the received light level is greater than the sensing threshold (5
or more D.A.T.A. lights ON).
Switch #4, Scale Factor for the D.A.T.A. Signal Strength Indicator Display
ON: Fine scale.
OFF: Standard scale.
This switch should always be OFF, except for close differential sensing situations (for
example, some color registration applications, which also require the Low hysteresis
setting/switch #1 OFF).
Factory Settings
The following are the factory program settings for OMNI-BEAM sensor head DIP
switches.
Switch #1: ON (Standard hysteresis)
Switch #2: OFF (Normally Closed alarm output)
Switch #3: OFF (Light Operate load output)
Switch #4: OFF (Standard Scale Factor for signal strength display)

Figure 6. OMNI-BEAM D.A.T.A. LEDs
Using the D.A.T.A. Sensor Self-Diagnostic Feature
Banner’s exclusive D.A.T.A. feature warns of marginal sensing conditions, usually
before a sensing failure occurs, by flashing one or more lights in its multiple-LED
array, and by sending a warning signal to the system logic controller (or directly to an
audible or visual alarm). The chart below describes the meanings of the possible
signals.
Flashing LED Problem Description
#1 Moisture Alert Severe moisture is inside the sensor head, caused by condensation or by entry of moisture when the
access cover is removed.
#2 High Temperature
Alert The temperature inside the sensor head exceeds +70°C (+158°F).
#3 Low Voltage
or
Overload Alert
Sensor supply voltage is below the minimum specified for the power block in use. Power block outputs
also shut down to prevent damage to the load(s) from low voltage.
DC power blocks OPBT2, OPBT2QD, or OPBT2QDH: Either the load output or the alarm output is
shorted. Both outputs will be inhibited, and the circuit will “retry” the outputs every 1/10 second. The
outputs automatically reset and function normally when the short is corrected.
#9 High Gain
Warning
The “dark” signal never goes below #4 on the display; decrease the Gain setting. There are two possible
causes:
1) The “dark” signal slowly increases and remains at the #4 level for a predetermined delay time,
commonly caused by a gradual increase of unwanted background reflections in reflective sensing
modes (such as diffuse or convergent). 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 “dark” signal does not fall below the #4 level during a sensing event. The alarm automatically
resets when the “dark” sensing level falls below the #4 level (accomplished by reducing the Gain
control setting and/or by removing the cause of unwanted light return in the “dark” condition).
#10 Low Gain Warning
The “light” signal never goes above #5 on the display; increase the Gain setting. There are two possible
causes:
1) The “light” signal slowly decreases to the #5 level and remains at that level for a predetermined
delay. This most commonly occurs in opposed or retroreflective sensing systems, caused by a
gradual decrease in light in the unblocked condition, due to obscured lenses or sensor
misalignment. The alarm will reset when the light signal strength exceeds the #5 level.
2) The “light” signal does not exceed the #5 level during a sensing event. The alarm automatically
resets when the “light” signal exceeds the #5 level (accomplished by increasing the GAIN control
setting and/or cleaning the lens and realigning the sensor).
#9 and #10 Low Contrast
Warning
The lights flash simultaneously to indicate inadequate optical contrast for reliable sensing (the “light”
condition is at the #5 level and the “dark” condition is at the #4 level). If this occurs, re-evaluate the
application to find ways to increase the differential between the “light” and “dark” conditions. The alarm
automatically resets when the “light” signal exceeds the #5 level and the “dark” signal falls below the #4
level.
OMNI-BEAM Sensor Heads

Sense and Load LED Indicators
The Sense LED indicates when a target has been sensed. When the sensor head is
programmed for Light Operate, it lights when the received light signal exceeds the #5
threshold. When programmed for Dark Operate, it lights when the received light
signal falls below the #5 threshold. See figure 7.
The Load indicator LED lights whenever the output is energized (after the timing
function, if applicable).
Measuring Excess Gain
OMNI-BEAM’s D.A.T.A. indicator display may be used to measure the excess gain and
contrast during sensing, installation, or maintenance.
Excess gain is a measurement of the amount of light energy falling on a photoelectric
sensor’s receiver, over and above the minimum amount needed 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
(corresponding to the #5 level of the D.A.T.A. display). When LEDs #1 through #5 are
ON, the excess gain of the received light signal is equal to “1x.” The chart below
shows how excess gain relates to the D.A.T.A. light array indication.

Measuring Sensing Contrast
Contrast is the ratio of the amount of light falling on the receiver in the “light” state,
compared to the “dark” state (sometimes called “light-to-dark ratio”). Optimizing the
contrast in any sensing situation increases the sensing reliability. Contrast may be
calculated if excess gain values are known for both the light and dark conditions:
Contrast = Excess gain (light condition)
Excess gain (dark condition)
To determine the contrast for any sensing application, present both the Light and Dark
conditions to the OMNI-BEAM, and note how many LEDs in the D.A.T.A. display are
ON for each condition. Compute the ratio from the corresponding excess gain
numbers (from the chart on page 6) for the two conditions.
For example, if LEDs #1 through #8 come ON in the Light condition and LEDs #1 and
#2 come ON in the Dark condition (assuming Standard scale factor), contrast is
calculated as follows:
Light condition: 2.2x excess gain
Dark condition: 0.35x excess gain
Contrast = 2.2x = 6
0.35x
This value is expressed as 6:1 (“six-to-one”).
The best sensor adjustment will cause all ten D.A.T.A. LEDs to come ON for the Light
condition, and none in the Dark condition. In this situation (such as an application in
which a box breaks the beam of an opposed-mode emitter/receiver pair):
Contrast is greater than 3.7x = 15
0.25x
While it is not always possible to adjust a sensor to maintain this much contrast, it is
important to always adjust for the maximum possible contrast. The D.A.T.A. feature
makes this easy. The chart below gives general guidelines for contrast values.
Contrast Values and Corresponding Guidelines
Contrast Recommendation
1.2 or Less Unreliable. Evaluate alternative sensing schemes.
1.2 to 2 Poor Contrast. Use the LOW hysteresis setting and the FINE
scale factor.
2 to 3 Low Contrast. Sensing environment must remain perfectly clean and
all other sensing variables must remain stable.
3 to 10 Good Contrast. Minor sensing system variables will not affect
sensing reliabilty.
10 or Greater Excellent Contrast. Sensing should remain reliable as long as the
sensing system has enough excess gain for operation.
