Banner Engineering IT2.520SM600 Fiber Optic Through Beam Sensor

Banner Engineering IT2.520SM600 Fiber Optic Through Beam Sensor is a through-beam sensing device in Banner’s IT2 family that uses a fiber optic element to form the sensing path. The model features a 240-inch (20 ft) fiber optic cable and a 0.156-inch (3.96 mm) diameter fiber, enabling flexible placement of the sensing point and routing of the sensing path to reach the target area. The IT2.520SM600 designation identifies this specific fiber optic through-beam variant. In a through-beam setup, a light beam is transmitted across the sensing gap and detected at the opposite end; any interruption by a target signals a detection event. This arrangement can help accommodate installations where the sensing area is in a restricted or hard-to-reach space, while the control electronics remain at a convenient location.
