The Banner DF-G3-PS-Q5 is a high-performance fiber optic amplifier designed for industrial automation applications that demand precision and flexibility. As part of Banner’s DF-G3 amplifier series, this model delivers advanced sensing capabilities, high sensitivity, and reliable operation, making it ideal for detecting small or low-contrast targets in fast-paced production environments.

At its core, the DF-G3-PS-Q5 is engineered for high-sensitivity performance, enabling it to detect challenging targets such as small components, low-reflectivity surfaces, or transparent materials. This makes it particularly well-suited for industries such as packaging, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and assembly, where precision is vital to maintain product quality and operational efficiency. The amplifier ensures stable detection, reducing false triggers and enhancing productivity.

The unit is designed to work with unterminated plastic fibers or T5-terminated fibers, providing flexibility for a broad range of applications. Unterminated fibers can be trimmed to custom lengths, allowing integration into tight or complex machine layouts. T5-terminated fibers, meanwhile, offer a factory-prepared, ready-to-use option for quick installation and dependable performance. This dual compatibility allows facilities to standardize fiber optic sensing while still adapting to varied machine requirements.

Housed in a compact DIN-rail enclosure, the DF-G3-PS-Q5 is easy to install within control panels and enclosures. Its slim profile conserves valuable cabinet space while maintaining easy access for adjustments and connections. The integrated 0.15 m pigtail quick-disconnect (QD) cable streamlines wiring and enables fast connection or replacement, reducing setup and maintenance times.

The amplifier carries an IP50 rating along with NEMA 1 certification, making it suitable for use in clean, protected indoor industrial environments. While not designed for washdown or outdoor use, its durable housing ensures consistent performance in controlled factory conditions. This makes the DF-G3-PS-Q5 an ideal choice for electronics assembly, light manufacturing, and packaging facilities where reliability and precision matter most.

Operating on DC power, the DF-G3-PS-Q5 integrates seamlessly into standard automation systems. Its straightforward configuration options and compatibility with Banner’s advanced fiber optics provide engineers and technicians with the flexibility to tailor detection to their application needs.

In daily operation, the DF-G3-PS-Q5 enhances accuracy, efficiency, and ease of integration. Its sensitivity ensures reliable detection even with difficult targets, while its quick-disconnect design simplifies installation and maintenance. By combining high-performance sensing with flexible fiber compatibility, the amplifier helps facilities reduce downtime, improve throughput, and maintain consistent product quality.

In summary, the Banner DF-G3-PS-Q5 is a compact, high-sensitivity fiber optic amplifier designed for precise detection in industrial automation. With its support for unterminated and T5-terminated plastic fibers, rugged DIN-rail housing, IP50/NEMA 1 protection, and convenient quick-disconnect connection, it delivers the performance and reliability needed to optimize productivity in today’s demanding automation environments.
