Re: Banner Optical Sensors?

Black and white wires are the signal wires

When using the black wire as your signal pin, your default value is normally closed (0 when unblocked). If using the white wire as your signal, it is normally open (1 when unblocked).

Hope this helps,
I'm pretty sure they are 10-18v, not 5. We have them hooked up to a 20A fuse, and they are working fine off 12v. You *really* need to go find the spec sheet though.
