Banner Sensors – What are the common faults of pressure sensors?
The first is that the pressure rises and the transmitter cannot convey. In this case, the first thing to do is to check the pressure connection for air leaks or blockages. If not, check the wiring method and power supply. If the power supply is normal, simply pressurize and see if the output changes, or if the sensor part outputs. As...

Banner Sensors - Precautions for the use of linear displacement sensors
1. If the electronic ruler has been used for a long time, and the seal has been aged, and there are many impurities mixed with it, and the water mixture and oil will seriously affect the contact resistance of the brush, which will make the displayed numbers keep jumping. At this time, it can be said that the electronic ...

What problems do Banner laser distance sensors have that need to be solved?
(1) When the target to be measured is not perpendicular to the transducer of the sensor. This is because the target of the ultrasonic test must be within an angle of no more than 10° perpendicular to the sensor.
(2) When a small beam diameter is required. Because the diameter of the general ultrasonic beam is ...

Banner Sensor – A calibration method for temperature sensors
The most common method of calibrating a temperature sensor, like that of most other sensors, is to place the sensor in an environment with a known temperature that can be accurately determined for a period of time, and then record and check whether the output of the sensor is consistent with the known ambient temperature, and calculate the transmission rate.
