Banner L-GAGE Stud Sensor User Manual


 
Ambient light immunity.
With its modulated laser beam and narrow
optical band-pass filter, the L-GAGE is
highly immune to ambient light,
including high-energy factory lighting.
Protected circuitry.
Integral circuitry protects L-GAGE sensors
from reverse polarity, over voltage, and
transient voltage.
Durable construction.
Rugged L-GAGE sensors have a die-cast
zinc alloy housing, with an aluminum
top cover and an acrylic lens cover.
They are rated IP67 and NEMA 6, and
have an operating temperature range
of -10° to +50°C (+14° to +122°F).
Programmable response times.
Output response is programmable to three speeds,
one, 10, and 100 milliseconds, by simply pushing a button.
You instantly get the response time that works with your
machine cycle speeds.
Exclusive scalable analog output.
Unlike conventional gauging sensors, and available only from
Banner,
L-GAGE sensors allow you to automatically scale the
analog output over your desired sensing window. This unique
feature speeds setup and allows for maximum resolution in electrically-
noisy environments. Unique Auto-Zero feature allows you to easily set a
sensing distance set point centered within a 10 mm wide window.
Pre-wired or quick-disconnect, 10 to 30V dc.
L-GAGE sensors are available with a 2 m (6.5') or 9 m
(30') attached, 8-conductor PVC potted-in cable, or an 8-pin
Euro-style quick disconnect pigtail connector that allows easy sensor
installation and removal. Keyed connectors prevent wiring errors.
Advanced diagnostics.
L-GAGE sensors keep you
constantly informed of
operating status throughout
programming and operation.
Sensors also include an alarm
output for signal saturation;
discrete output can be
programmed to detect a
missing target.
Yellow fast/slow LEDs indicate
response time.
Tri-color (red, green, yellow)
TEACH LED indicates sensor is
ready for programming each
limit (analog, discrete, or both
analog and discrete).
Analog Teach button.
Discrete Teach button.
Red LED indicates target is in the
sensing window and the condition
of the received light signal.
Yellow LED indicates when the
discrete load output is conducting.
Green LED indicates Power ON
and flashes to indicate Output
Overloaded and disabled laser.
Fast LED:
1.0 ms response
Both LEDs:
10 ms response
Slow LED:
100 ms response
