MAXI-BEAM® MAXI-BEAM™ Sensor Heads Modular Sensors Banner MAXI-BEAM sensors are highly versatile, self-contained, modularized photoelectric sensing controls that are ideally suited to industrial environments. The basic MAXI-BEAM is an ON/OFF switch consisting of three modules: a sensor head, a power block, and a wiring base. The sensor head contains the complete modulated photoelectric amplifier as well as the emitter and receiver optoelements.
Selection of MAXI-BEAM Components The modular design of the MAXI-BEAM allows you to create a sensor which is tailored to your exact requirements. To order a MAXI-BEAM, follow these steps: Exploded view, MAXI-BEAM Sensor Sensitivity Control 1) SELECT A SENSOR HEAD (see pages 3-7). Sensor heads are available for opposed, retroreflective, diffuse, convergent, and fiberoptic sensing modes. Rotatable Sensor Head 2) SELECT A POWER BLOCK (see pages 8-13).

MAXI-BEAM Power Blocks and Wiring Base MAXI-BEAM power blocks provide regulated low voltage dc power to the sensor head and logic module (if one is used), and all power blocks (except emitter-only types) contain an output switch for interfacing to loads or to control circuitry. Power blocks plug into the model RWB4 wiring base which has heavy-duty screw terminals that accept up to #12 gauge wire (no lugs are necessary).

Any number of MAXI-BEAMs may be connected in parallel to a load to create "LIGHT-OR" (light operate mode) or "DARK-OR" (dark operate mode) multiple sensor logic.
MAXI-BEAM Power Blocks and Wiring Base AC Models Functional Schematic Connections RPBR2 INPUT: 12 to 30V dc, 40mA, exclusive of load current (at 30V dc); or 12 to 250V ac, 50/60Hz. OUTPUT: SPDT electromechanical relay contacts. Contact rating: 250V ac max., 30V dc max., 5 amps max. (resistive load); install MOV across contact if switching inductive load. Contact response: 20ms open and close (NOTE: add to sensor head response). Mechanical life: 10,000,000 operations.
MAXI-BEAM Power Blocks and Wiring Base Hookup Diagrams for RPBA, RPBA-1, RPBB, & RPBB-1 Power Blocks Hookup to a Simple Load L1 L Hookup of an ac Emitter 2 V ac (See Specifications) AC voltage is connected to terminals #1 and #2 to provide power to the MAXI-BEAM. The solid-state output switch behaves as if there were a contact between terminals #3 and #4. L1 is most conveniently applied to terminal #3 by jumpering terminals #1 and #3 inside the wiring base.
MAXI-BEAM Power Blocks and Wiring Base Hookup Diagrams for R2PBA and R2PBB Power Blocks Basic 2-wire Hookup 2-wire MAXI-BEAMs in Parallel L1 L Multiple 2-wire MAXI-BEAMs may be wired together in parallel to a load for "OR" or "NAND" logic functions. When sensors are wired in parallel, the off-state leakage current through the load is equal to the sum of the leakage currents of the individual sensors.
MAXI-BEAM Power Blocks Model RPBTLM Low Profile DC Power Block Model RPBTLM is a miniature dc power block for MAXI-BEAM sensors. It may be used with any of the MAXI-BEAM sensor head models. The RPBTLM is supplied with stainless steel hardware used for assembly of the MAXI-BEAM components. Components simply bolt together, with no interwiring necessary. The screws supplied are extra-long, and serve as a means to mount the complete MAXI-BEAM sensor assembly to an object or surface.
MAXI-BEAM Logic Modules MAXI-BEAM sensors offer built-in timing logic with the addition of a logic module. There are two logic modules available. Model RLM5 is programmable for ON-DELAY, OFFDELAY, and ON/OFF DELAY timing logic. Model RLM8 offers both ONE-SHOT and DELAYED ONE-SHOT functions. A programming ring is supplied with each logic module. Programming of the logic function, timing range, and output state is similar to sensor head programming.
MAXI-BEAM Logic Modules Programming Model and Logic Functions RLM8 PROGRAM CHOICES: 1) Timing Logic Function: a) ONE-SHOT b) Delayed ONE-SHOT 2) Timing Adjustment Range (see options below) 3) Output State: a) normally open b) normally closed TO PROGRAM LOGIC MODULE: 1) Find the programming notch which lines up with the program choice. NOTE: the programming ring may have to be turned upside-down in order to find a notch that lines up with the desired program.
MAXI-BEAM Accessories Mounting Brackets Model SMB700 (right) is a general-purpose two-axis mounting bracket that is supplied with a cable gland assembly which is used to attach the MAXI-BEAM wiring base to the bracket. The gland assembly is threaded through the bracket and into the conduit entrance at the base of the scanner block. A large lockwasher is supplied to hold the scanner block firmly in place. The bracket is 11-gauge zinc plated steel.
