Modular design allows for interchangeable components. Complete sensor consists of sensor block, power block, and optional logic modules and/or quick disconnect cables.

Sensor block configuration includes opposed mode, diffuse mode, retroreflective (polarized is optional), convergent mode, fiber optic (glass and plastic), AC-coupled. Power blocks are available in AC or DC operation. DC models contain bi-modal outputs for sinking or sourcing applications. Logic modules offer timing functions such as; on delay, off delay, and delayed one-shot.

The Banner Omni-Beam also contains the patented D.A.T.A. diagnostic display system. These LED lights warn of problems with high / low voltage, high / low gain signal, good vs. poor contrast, and more...
