Banner Engineering Corporation VS2RN5R Sensor

VS2RN5R is the receiver unit in Banner Engineering’s VS2 Series Ultra Thin Miniature Through‑Beam Sensor pair, designed to work with the VS25EV emitter for a compact, space‑saving detection solution in tight installations. It provides an NPN, dark‑ON output for through‑beam configurations, signaling a beam break when a target interrupts the infrared beam. The receiver is housed in a thermoplastic enclosure (MABS) and carries an IP67 (NEMA 6) rating for protection against dust and water exposure, making it suited to harsh industrial environments. Cabled models use a 3‑wire connection for receivers, with 2 m (6.5 ft) integral cable, while emitters are 2‑wire; this configuration supports reliable operation with Banner’s VS2 through‑beam pair. When paired with the VS25EV emitter, the system supports through‑beam sensing distances up to about 1.2 m (47 in), with performance dependent on alignment and target characteristics. The VS2 family emphasizes a slender, ultra‑thin form factor that facilitates mounting in confined spaces on automated lines, and its rugged construction helps it endure typical manufacturing conditions. Typical applications include compact presence/absence detection and position sensing in manufacturing or packaging environments where space is at a premium, and reliable dark‑operate sensing is advantageous for integration with logic and control systems.
