®
Sensors with Green Light Source
For Web and Container Registration Mark Sensing Applications
Printed in USA P/N 50975
• 525 nm visible green LED light source provides an economical solution to a large
percentage of mainstream color mark applications
• Reliably senses most common color combinations, including many combinations
that are difficult to sense with a red or blue light source
• Minimum switch-point hysteresis to take full advantage of the green LED
configuration
• 10 to 30V dc operation
• Bi-polar solid-state outputs (one sinking and one sourcing)
• Standard 1 millisecond output response; 0.3 millisecond models are available
(see notes, below)

WARNING
These photoelectric presence sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their
use in personnel safety applications. A sensor 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 a safety device may create an unsafe condition
which could lead to serious injury or death.

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.
