Manual

The LP400WB is a wide-beam divergent proximity-mode remote sensor which is very useful for sensing small or irregularly shaped or
transparent/translucent objects. Its small size makes it especially convenient for use where space is limited, such as on small assembly
machines, and its wide beam angle prevents possible erratic operation due to variations in the color or shape of the object being sensed.
The optics are such that even small threads or wires of .005" (0,1mm) or greater in diameter can
be detected when they pass within .25" (6mm) of the sensor end. Range is from zero to 1" for clear
materials. The threaded barrel design is compatible with many versatile mounting methods.
This sensor is designed for use with Banner MICRO-AMP
®
system MA3-4 and MA3-4P ampliers,
MAXI-AMP™ system CM Series ampliers, and MB Series ampliers.
The LP400WB sensor should not be used for precise position control, nor should it be mounted with its lens recessed into a mounting
hole.

30' cables are available by special order.
Specications, LP400WB
1) Avoid running remote sensor cables in wireways together with
power-carrying conductors.
2) Avoid running remote sensor cables through areas of known ex-
treme electrical interference (electrical "noise").
3) Always use shielded cables and only connect the shield ("drain")
wire at the amplier.
4) When splicing, never combine emitter and receiver wires into a
common cable. (The result will be electrical "crosstalk" within the
cable, which causes a "lock-on" condition of the amplier.)
Wiring rules
Hookup to MB Series Ampliers
Banner remote sensors will connect to any MB Series amplier. The
model MRB chassis (shown) has octal sockets for the amplier and a
BR-2 relay (supplied) and provides power for the sensors and amplier.
Up to four sensors may be connected to one amplier for light-oper-
ated OR or dark operated AND operation. See the multiple sensor CM
module hookup on the next page for lead connection information: the
black and red leads are connected in parallel, while the green and white
leads are connected in series.
Several MB Series ampliers are available. Each provides a different
output logic function. Chassis models with additional octal sockets
are also available. Other types of output devices, including solid state
relays, may be ordered (see Banner catalog).
