Extreme and Heavy-Duty Banner Fiber Optic Interlock Switches are designed for use with the
PICO-GUARD fiber optic controller for personnel safety applications and provide reliable, non-contact access guarding for doors,
guards, gates and covers. The Banner Engineering switch features an active/passive configuration allowing the optical fibers to
enter and exit from one side of the guard only making them ideal for removable doors and panels. |

Available in stainless-steel and die-cast metal housings, Banner PICO-GUARD Extreme and Heavy-Duty switches
resist the rigors of tough environments. They are designed to meet stringent Safety Category 4 applications and operate at ranges
from 1 to 50 mm. Both Banner Safety Switch models feature integral polyethylene jacketed plastic fibers and the heavy-duty models
are available with fluuoropolymer sheathing. The patent pending PICO-GUARD system is a unique combination of control-reliable,
non-contacting Photoelectric Sensor and fiber optic technologies that
provide a low-cost alternative to cumbersome and costly methods for machine safeguarding. The fibers can be easily piped to points
requiring safeguarding with no electrical wiring required. The Banner controller has four independent optical channels, offering
the ability to safeguard multiple points with one controller. The optical elements require no electrical connection and no
electrical energy is used at the optical elements, all electronics are at the controller. Optical elements can be used either as
emitters or receivers to simplify installation.
Banner PICO-GUARD Fiber Optic Safety System offers a simpler way to guard doors, openings and dangerous areas,
compared with Mechanical Safety Interlock Switches. Because Banner
PICO-GUARD uses only optical elements, it eliminates electrical contacts and other failure-prone mechanical components, including
actuators that have alignment issues. Banner Engineering PICO-GUARD fiber optic safety interlock switches are also several times
smaller and several times lighter than mechanical switches. Installation is incredibly simple; Banner safety switches install
instantly with cut-to-length plastic fiber optic cable and snap-lock
Turck Connectors. Multiple optical elements can be connected in series on a
single optical channel, providing the ability to monitor several dangerous points with a single channel. Additional guarding
points can easily be added at any time by inserting optical elements into an existing optical channel.
Banner Fiber optic safety interlock switches are available to solve numerous applications. They allow easy
installation and proper operation on a variety of doors and other safety interlocking applications. Various plug-in, snap-lock
models are available including in-line, right-angle and dual lens versions. With the dual lens model, the passive opposed actuator
is used for lift-off doors and other removable guards. They are made of rugged impact resistant polycarbonate with an
environmental rating of IP65 and NEMA 4/13. Banner PICO-GUARD Safety System is the industry's first system designed to meet Safety
Category 4, per ISO 13849 (EN 954-1)* and IEC 61496-1 Type 4 requirements, using a single switch point for each door. This is
possible due to its patent pending, diverse-redundant, self-checking controller specifically designed to be used with plastic
fiber optic cable. In addition, the hardware and firmware of the controller has been extensively tested via Banner's rigorous
Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) techniques to assure that no single component failure will cause the system to fail into
a dangerous condition.
