S18M
Vehicle Detection Sensor
Printed in USA 10/03 P/N 114430 rev. A
Features
• 3-axis magnetoresistive-based technology; senses 3-dimensional changes to the
Earth’s magnetic field caused by the presence of ferrous objects
• Easy sensor installation (see page 4); above- or below-ground mounting options
• Compact, robust one-piece, self-contained sensor package replaces inductive-loop
sensing technology; no external controller needed
• Designed to minimize the effects of temperature swings and destabilizing magnetic
fields
• Sensor learns ambient background and stores settings in non-volatile memory
• Patented technologies

WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its 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.
* 9 m cables are available by adding suffix “W/30” to the model number of any cabled sensor
(e.g., S18MB W/30). A model with a QD connector requires a mating cable; see page 8.
** Consult factory for other output options.
