Remote Sensor Pair
Specications, MB Series Ampliers
Banner remote sensors will connect to any MB Series amplier. The model
MRB chassis (shown) has octal sockets for the amplier and a BR-2 relay
(supplied) and provides power for the sensors and amplier. Up to four sen-
sor pairs may be connected to one amplier for light-operated OR or dark
operated AND operation. In multiple-sensor hookups, receivers are wired
in parallel and emitters are connected in series (see example for CM Series
modules, next page).
Several MB Series ampliers are available. Each provides a different output
logic function. Chassis models with additional octal sockets are also avail-
able. Other types of output devices, including solid state relays, may be
ordered (see Banner catalog).
Hookup to MB Series Ampliers
The LR250 emitter and PT250 receiver are compact, totally-encapsulated opposed mode remote sensors whose 1/4" diameter smooth
barrel design and excellent operating characteristics make them ideal for many sensing applications. Mounting and alignment are
extremely simple, due to these sensors' wide eld of view. The LR250 and PT250 may be mounted through a 1/4" (6,4mm) clearance
hole and held in place by a setscrew, or in a model SMB250 mounting block.
LR/PT250 series sensors are fully encapsulated, and have hermetically sealed lenses to eliminate internal condensation. Units may
be washed down without damage. Identical optical performance in different housing styles is available in models LR/PT200, 300, and
400 (see Banner product catalog).
The minimum object size required to break the beam of the LR250/PT250 opposed mode sensor pair is 1/8-inch. These sensors are
designed for use with Banner MICRO-AMP® system MA3-4 and MA3-4P modulated ampliers, MAXI-AMP™ system CM Series
modulated ampliers, and MB Series ampliers.

1) Avoid running remote sensor cables in wireways together with
power-carrying conductors.
2) Avoid running remote sensor cables through areas of known ex-
treme electrical interference (electrical "noise").
3) Always use shielded cables and only connect the shield ("drain")
wire at the amplier.
4) When splicing, never combine emitter and receiver wires into a
common cable. (The result will be electrical "crosstalk" within the
cable, which causes a "lock-on" condition of the amplier.)

CM Series modules combine power supply, modulated photoelectric
amplier, timing logic (CM5 models), and output relay in a single
compact module. Only an 11-pin relay socket (Banner model RS-11)
is needed to complete the system.
The CM Series contains models with or without programmable timing
logic and with either electromechanical or solid-state relay outputs. See
the Banner product catalog for further in formation.
Up to three sensor pairs may be connected to each amplier. Light- op-

NOTE: to power the MAXI-AMP from a DC power supply, connect
+12 to 18V dc at ≥70mA to terminal #3 and DC common to terminal
#1. Make no connections to terminal #7 or #8.
Hookup to MAXI-AMPCM Series Modules
RESPONSE SPEED: programmable for 10, 2, or 0.3 milliseconds (10 millisecond setting enhances noise rejection).
MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 50' (15m) maximum.
To avoid "cable crosstalk", use separate shielded cable for emitter and receiver, or order sensors with extended cable length.
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE: 0 to +50 degrees C (+32 to +122 degrees F).
Specications, MAXI-AMP CM Series Modules
WARNING These photoelectric presence sensors and ampliers do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry neces-
sary to allow their use in personnel safety applications. A sensor or amplier failure or malfunction can result in either an energized
or a de-energized sensor output condition.
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Their use as safety devices may create an unsafe condition
which could lead to serious injury or death.
Only MACHINE-GUARD and PERIMETER-GUARD Systems, and other systems so designated, are designed to meet OSHA and
ANSI machine safety standards for point-of-operation guarding devices. No other Banner sensors or controls are designed to meet these standards, and
they must NOT be used as sensing devices for personnel protection.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENT: 10-30V dc at less than 20mA; 10% maximum
ripple (obtainable from MPS-15 power supply--see above).
OUTPUT CONFIGURATION: model MA3-4 has two open-collector NPN (cur-
rent sinking) transistor solid state switches, one normally open, one normally closed.
150mA max. each output. Model MA3-4P has two PNP (sourcing) outputs, 150mA
max. each.
RESPONSE SPEED: 1 millisecond ON and OFF.
MAXIMUM SENSOR LEAD LENGTH: 30' (9m).
OPERATING TEMPERATURE RANGE:
-40 to +70 degrees C (-40 to +158 degrees F).
Hookup to MICRO-AMP® Modules
MICRO-AMP amplier module models MA3-4 and MA3-4P may be
used with this sensor pair. Model MA3-4 has complementary current
sinking outputs. Model MA3-4P has complementary current sourc-
ing outputs.
Model MA3-4 (but not model MA3-4P) may be powered by the model
MPS-15 power supply, as shown in the hookup diagram (right). The
MPS-15 includes a socket for the MA3-4 and has a built-in SPDT
output relay (switchable by the MA3-4 module).
MICRO-AMP modules may also be mounted in the model RS8 wiring
socket and powered from a "remote" power supply. PVC mounting
track is available in 6" and 12" lengths to accommodate multiple MI-
CRO-AMP system components.
NOTE: only one pair of LR/PT250s may be connected to each ampli-
er.
When wiring two sensors to one
MAXI-AMP, multiply excess gain
data (from excess gain curve) for
each sensor by 1/2; when wiring
three sensors to one MAXI-AMP,
multiply excess gain by 1/3.
