A typical MINI-ARRAY System consists of the following components: • Controller module • Emitter • Receiver • Two interconnecting cables Sensors are available in array lengths from 6 inches to 4 feet (in 6 inch increments), plus 5 foot and 6 foot array models. Sensors are available with either 9.5 mm (3/8 inch) or 19.1 mm (3/4 inch) beam spacing, which translates to either 32 or 16 beams per foot of array length. Sensors with 3/8-inch beam spacing have a sensing range of up to 6 m (20 ft). Sensors with 3/4-inch beam spacing have a sensing range of up to 17 m (55 ft); 5 ft and 6 ft arrays have shorter ranges.

Programmable beam blanking accommodates machine components or other fixtures that must remain in or move through the light screen. Blanking is set by using the included configuration software. See ######## for more information. Built-in diagnostic programming and easy-to-see indicators on the sensors and the control module make alignment and troubleshooting easy. The emitter has a red LED that signals proper operation. The receiver has three bright LEDs: green signals that the sensors are properly aligned; yellow signals marginal alignment; and red signals misalignment or a blocked condition. The control module has seven status indicators: five red LEDs signal when outputs are conducting, Alarm output conducting, and gate signal received; a green LED signals that the sensors are properly aligned. DIAG 1, 2, and 3 LEDs indicate system status. A key to the diagnostics codes is printed on the side of the control module for simplified troubleshooting. The MINI-ARRAY System provides a wide selection of sensing and output options, including: measurement (“scan analysis”) modes and scanning methods that can determine the target object’s location, overall size, total height or total width. Scanning may be continuous or controlled by a host process controller or a gate sensor. Some models (MAC1, MACP, MACN) support RS-485, where up to 15 systems may be networked.

A-GAGE MINI-ARRAY System Features 2.2 Sensing Response Sensing response is a function of the number of beams interrogated (steps) per scan of the array. The time per step is 55 μs (0.000055 seconds). As a result, dense arrays (for example with 3/8 inch beam spacing) yield the highest sensing resolution. Arrays with wider (3/4 inch) beam spacing offer faster sensing response. 2.3 Supplied System Software The supplied software program, used to configure each system control module, may be run on any PC running Windows® XP, Vista, or 7. The menu-driven program walks the user through the many scanning and output options. After the desired options are selected, the user can save the combination of selections in a Parameter Setup File (PSF), and store it in the control module’s non-volatile memory. Any number of PSFs may be stored in the computer and recalled as needed. www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 7 A-GAGE® MINI-ARRAY® Measuring Light Screen System The software also provides alignment and diagnostics routines. An Alignment screen displays the individual status of each beam in the light screen, as well as the total number of beams in the system, and totals of beams blocked, made, and blanked. Built-in system diagnostics can be used to assess emitter and receiver hardware errors. 8 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 A-GAGE® MINI-ARRAY® Measuring Light Screen System 3 Specifications 3.1 Specifications for the Emitter/Receiver Pairs Range (9.5 mm Beam Spacing) 0.6 m to 6.1 m (2 ft to 20 ft) for sensors < 4 ft 0.6 m to 4.6 m (2 ft to 15 ft) for sensors > 4 ft Maximum range is specified at the point where 3× excess gain remains.
