------Question for LE250UQ Please Put your question below------

I have a couple questions about the functionality of the Banner L-GAGE LE250 Sensor:

  1. For my specific application, there may be a layer of water between the sensor and the surface I want to be detected. Will this layer of water affect the sensor performance/accuracy of the displacement reading?
  2. How is this sensor powered?

Hello @jzkhaw,

This is a challenging application. We don’t know if the water will reflect, absorb, or scatter the beam. I suspect the answer depends on the water depth, flow, cleanliness, and presence of bubbles. Sensor angle may also impact the distance measurements.

Recommend you contact Banner directly starting here. Application engineers love a challenge. Also, they may be able to explore related technologies such as radar.

As for power, the Banner L-GAGE LE250 uses 24 VDC which is standard for industrial automation. Select a power supply appropriate for you application ranging from a laptop like “brick” to DIN rail mounted supply. We can help you select a power supply and M12 cabling for the sensor.

Please let us know if you were successful.

Sincerely,

Aaron
