Banner K50 Series Pick-to-Light Indicators

The K50 Series Pick-to-Light indicators from Banner Engineering are designed for robust, cost-effective, and easy-to-install error-proofing and part verification applications. These compact, self-contained units require no controller and feature a bright, highly visible green indicator. Some models also include an alternating red light for different operational states.

Features

WARNING: This device is not intended for personnel protection. Misuse or failure of this device could result in a powered (ON) or unpowered (OFF) output state, potentially causing serious injury or death.

Standard Models - Single Color

These models feature a steady indicator light when the input is active and activate the output when a hand is present or a button is pressed.

Model Sensing Mode/LED Housing Range Connection Output Indicator Light
K50APLPGXDQ Polarized retro-reflective, visible red light, 680 nm 2 m (6.5 ft) PNP, normally open PNP, normally open
K50RPLPGXDQ PNP, normally closed PNP, normally closed
K50APFF50GXDQ 50 mm cutoff PNP, normally open PNP, normally open
K50ANFF50GXDQ Fixed field, infrared, 880 nm 50 mm dome, 30 mm polycarbonate base Integral 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect NPN, normally open NPN, normally open

K50RPFF100GXDQ PNP, normally closed PNP, normally closed
K50APPBGXDQ Push button PNP, normally open PNP, normally open
K50ANPBGXDQ NPN, normally open NPN, normally open

Note: Models listed are no longer available for new orders but information remains valid.

Connection Options:

Output Types: N.O. = Normally Open; N.C. = Normally Closed.

Series C - Dual-Color Models (12V DC to 30V DC)

These models feature a green indicator during normal operation. When a hand is detected or a button is pressed, the output activates, and the indicator turns red, overriding the normal operation light. For reflective models, a red signal indicates misalignment for easier setup.

K50APPBGRCQ Push button PNP, normally open PNP, normally open

Note: Models listed are no longer available for new orders but information remains valid.

Series E - Dual-Color Models

These models provide a steady green indicator when the input is active. A hand detection or button press activates the output. If the input is not active, but a hand is detected or a button is pressed, the device will illuminate red to confirm sensor operation.

K50ANPBGREQ NPN, normally open NPN, normally open

Note: Models listed are no longer available for new orders but information remains valid.

Installation

For push-button models, position the sensor for easy access by the operator. For other models, mount the sensor so that an operator's hand will break the beam when reaching for a part. Ensure consistent mounting positions for multiple sensors to prevent optical crosstalk.

Wiring Diagrams

The following diagrams illustrate the wiring for 4-pin M12 quick-disconnect connectors. Pin assignments are consistent for wired models.

4-Pin M12 Male Connector Wiring

NPN Models:

  • Pin 1 (bn): +12-30V DC
  • Pin 2 (wh): Job Light Enable (< 1.0 V DC)
  • Pin 3 (bu): Load
  • Pin 4 (bk): Enable

PNP Models:

  • Pin 1 (bn): +12-30V DC
  • Pin 2 (wh): Job Light Enable (> 7.0 V DC)
  • Pin 3 (bu): Load
  • Pin 4 (bk): Enable

Note: Diagrams shown are for wired models; pin functions are identical for quick-disconnect models.
