Banner Engineering Corp. introduces the SB12 and SB12T to its line of miniature photoelectric sensors. The SB12 Series is an opposed mode emitter/receiver pair that is available as a snap-in barrel (SB12) or 12 mm threaded barrel (SB12T). The two sensors have been developed to provide a competitively priced solution for OEM's machine builders and material handling applications, and to compliment the EZ-Beam S12 opposed mode sensors. Applications include people detection at turnstiles, automatic doors openers, escalators, and moving walkways.

The SB12 Series sensors come as a small, flange-mounted tubular pair. A narrow effective beam allows for multiple sensors to operate in close proximity of one another, and LED status indicators display output overload, signal received, and marginal signal. No brackets are required for either model, allowing for easy installation. Sensing range is 1.5 m, and the emitter uses an invisible infrared LED.

The SB12 provides simple to mount snap-barrel housing for applications where the mounting holes are precisely located and formed and is recommended for applications when the sensor can be installed behind a protective window. Meanwhile, the SB12T comes in M12 threaded housing, and the mounting holes can be prefabricated or drilled on site. The threaded barrel sensor offers a more robust mounting solution for applications in areas with vibration, rough handling, or that are prone to vandalism.

Key features of the SB12 sensors include:
* 10 to 30V dc supply voltage with single NPN or PNP output, depending on model
* Light Operate (LO) or Dark Operate (DO), depending on model
