Overview
The Banner LM5 16294 is a Multi-Beam logic module designed as part of Banner Engineering’s modular photoelectric sensor architecture. This on-delay logic module electrically and mechanically interconnects the power block and scanner block, providing precise timing control for automation and process monitoring. The LM5 16294 is ideal for applications requiring detection of extended beam blockage or signal presence verification before output activation.
Key Features
- On-delay timing function with field-adjustable range from 0.15 to 15 seconds
- Interconnects power block and scanner block using blade-and-socket connector
- Light/Dark operate selection via included jumper wire
- Rugged, corrosion-resistant VALOX® housing (NEMA 1, 3, 12, 13 rated)
- Solid-state design for unlimited operational life
- Integrates seamlessly with Banner Multi-Beam sensor families
