DC Sensors with Blue Light Source
For Web and Container Registration Mark Sensing Applications
Printed in USA P/N 49290G9B
• 475 nm visible blue LED light source provides an economical solution to a large
percentage of mainstream color mark applications
• Reliably senses many difficult color combinations, including yellow-against-white and
pink-against-white
• Used to sense white labels on Kraft cardboard
• Minimum switch-point hysteresis to take full advantage of the blue LED configuration
• Includes Banner’s exclusive
†
AID
™
alignment system
• 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, page 3)
• Convergent, glass and plastic fiber-optic models available
• Choose integral 2 m (6.5') cable or integral euro-style quick disconnect fitting;
9 m (30') cable and 150 mm (6") quick disconnect pigtail are available by
special order

WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety applications.
A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your current Banner Safety
Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
