Overview
The Banner RSPD with RPBR is a modularized photoelectric sensor system combining an RSPD sensor head with an RPBR power block. The RPBR is a highly versatile self-contained modularized photoelectric MAXI-BEAM Sensor head contains the complete modulated photoelectric amplifier as well as the emitter and receiver optoelements. This control switch is designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation, packaging, and motion control applications. The RSPD/RPBR combination enables precise on/off switching with adjustable sensitivity and programmable operating modes.
Key Features
- Modular Design: The basic MAXI-BEAM is an ON/OFF switch consisting of three modules, a sensor head, a power block and a wiring base.
- Programmable Operation: An unique, patented, “programming ring” (supplied with each sensor head) enables you to program your choice of “light” or “dark” operate mode, sensing range and response time.
- Sensitivity Control: MAXI-BEAM sensor heads have an easily-accessible multi-turn SENSITIVITY control for precise adjustment of system gain.
- AC/DC Dual Input: Model RPBR operates the MAXI-BEAM with either ac or dc. It offers an SPST “hard” relay contact between wiring base terminals #3 & #4, which allows the MAXI-BEAM sensor to directly interface with loads which draw high current.
- Alignment Indicator: Each sensor head also includes Banner’s exclusive, patented Alignment Indicating Device.
