Banner Engineering SBRF1 Multi-Beam Scanner Block Receiver

Banner Engineering SBRF1 is a MULTI-BEAM: 3/4-Wire Scanner Block - Receiver that uses opposed-mode glass-fiber optics to detect parts or presence across a narrow gap. It pairs with Banner’s glass-fiber assemblies and requires a separate power block, with input and output determined by the connected power block rather than by the receiver itself. In opposed fiber mode, the sensing range depends on the fiber length and the specific fiber model; Banner provides gain curves for 3-foot lengths, with excess gain diminishing by roughly 10% for each additional foot. The SBRF1 integrates Banner’s Alignment Indicating Device (AID) for straightforward alignment and supports 3- or 4-wire configurations when paired with compatible amplifiers and power blocks. Common applications include inline part detection, stop/start interlock protection, and sensing across tight spaces on conveyors or packaging lines where direct line-of-sight is impractical. Exact electrical characteristics (voltage, current, and output type) depend on the attached power block, so consult the MULTI-BEAM data sheet for wiring, pinouts, and compatibility with emitters such as SBEF or SBEXF used in opposed-mode fiber pairs.
