MAXI-BEAM Sensor Heads Banner MAXI-BEAM sensors are highly versatile, self-contained, modular- ized photoelectric sensing controls that are ideally suited to industrial en-vi- ronments. The basic MAXI-BEAM is an ON/OFF switch consisting of three Some MAXI-BEAM sensor heads: models RSBC, RSBDSR, modules (sensor head, power block, and wiring base) and a unique, patented, RSBLV, and RSBF (shown with bifurcated fiber optic assembly rotatableprogramming rin that enables you to program your choice of attached).ligh ordar operate mode, sensing range, and response time. MAXI-BEAM sensor heads have an easily-accessible multi-turn SENSI- TIVITY control for precise adjustment of system gain. Interchangeable sensor heads are rotatable in 90-degree increments and are available in retroreflective, diffuse, opposed, convergent, fixed-field proximity, and bfi eroptic sensing modes. Each sensor head also includes Banner s exclusive, patented AID circuit (Alignment Indicating Device*), which features an LED alignment indicator that lights whenever the sensorsee its own modulated light source, and pulses at a rate proportional to the strength of the received light signal. A wide selection of MAXI-BEAM power block modules is available to General Specifications interface the sensor head to the circuit to be controlled.
