Banner Engineering S18-2 series compact photoelectric sensors

Banner Engineering S18-2 series compact photoelectric sensors are self-contained, DC-operated sensors that provide an economical sensing solution for cost-sensitive and high-volume installations. Built with advanced ASIC technology, the diffuse mode sensors are resistant to fluorescent light and offer a high level of crosstalk avoidance.

The sensors feature a powerful and bright, visible red emitter beam that reaches up to 25 m, which allows for easy alignment and set-up. For ease of use, the sensors also offer a highly visible output, and dual-function power and stability indicators. The indicators are comprised of one green and two yellow LED lights. Solid green indicates power is applied and the sensor is ready, while green flashing specifies a marginal sensing signal. The two bright yellow LEDs, visible from both sides of the sensor, indicate the output is conducting.

Featuring a rugged ABS plastic housing, the sensors are well sealed against water ingress. A wide operating temperature range of -40 to +70°C ensures optimal performance for diverse applications. For increased flexibility, diffuse models provide a robust 250° sensitivity potentiometer.
