The Banner Engineering S18U ultrasonic sensor offers a high-accuracy, close-range solution. With highly accurate object detection from 30 mm to 300 mm, the S18U reliably detects opaque or translucent objects, is not affected by color and offers programmable background suppression.

The S18U's microprocessor-based design eliminates the need for potentiometer adjustments. Programming is simplified with a TEACH-mode push button located directly on the sensor housing or via a remote TEACH wire that also may be used to disable the push button to prevent unwanted tampering. Bright LEDs display status during setup and operation. A built-in temperature compensation feature on all units allows the sensor to self-correct for its environment and maintain the highest sensing accuracy in changing conditions.

The S18U Series features an industry-standard 18 mm threaded barrel design and is available in a straight or right-angle housing, offering the highest flexibility for application integration. Wide ranges of mounting options are available.
