Banner AG4 Series Safety Laser Scanner
1. Overview
The Banner AG4 Safety Laser Scanner (the Scanner) is an optical, two-dimensional measuring Safety Laser Scanner.
The Scanner emits periodic light pulses via a rotating deflection mirror. The light pulses reflect back from objects in the
sensing field and are then detected by the Scanner receiver. The Scanner calculates the precise position of an
obstruction from the light travel time and the pulse’s emitted angle. If the obstruction is within the user-defined Protective
Field
(PF)
, the Scanner switches the safety outputs OFF.
Only when the Protective Field is free of obstructions does the Scanner turn its safety outputs back ON, either
automatically or following a manual restart (reset) signal, depending on the operating mode.
