Banner introduces the SureCross® Q45, the world's first self-contained, wireless standard photoelectric sensor solution designed for control and monitoring applications. When traditional solutions are significantly more costly due to infrastructure requirements—complexities of cables, conduits and installation—operators can quickly integrate a scalable, wireless sensor network to improve efficiency by monitoring and coordinating multiple machines and processes.

As an established leader in photoelectric sensors and wireless technology, Banner Engineering is the first and only company to develop a 100 percent self-contained wireless sensing solution. The SureCross Q45 improves efficiency in control and monitoring applications through the following performance features:

* Turnkey photoelectric wireless photoelectric solution
* Proprietary power management delivers extended battery life up to five years on two replaceable AA * Lithium batteries, depending on sensor and application
* Long range communication of up to 3,000 ft./1 km line-of-sight minimum
* Multiple I/O with support of a wireless network of up to 47 Q45 sensors per gateway
* Deterministic PLC-level reliability
* Built-in site survey capabilities
* Robust, IP67/NEMA 6P protection against liquids and debris common to industrial environments

The SureCross Q45 is ideal for many applications, including cable replacement, moving applications, remote applications and productivity solutions. To meet diverse application requirements, models are available in Polarized Retroreflective, Convergent Visible, Remote Device Interface and Fiber Optic.
