The Banner K50ANLPGRCQ is a rugged, multi-functional indicator and sensor solution that combines retroreflective sensing with high-visibility LED indication. Designed for industrial environments where both reliable detection and clear operator feedback are essential, this device delivers durability, flexibility, and performance in one compact package.

At its core, the K50ANLPGRCQ employs a retroreflective sensing mode, which uses a reflector to detect objects that break the light beam. This method is highly reliable and offers stable detection across varying surface types, including shiny or irregular objects that can challenge other sensing technologies. By utilising retroreflective sensing, the device simplifies installation while maintaining dependable accuracy in busy production environments.

Complementing its sensing capability, the device features multi-colour LED indication in green, red, and clear illumination. These indicators provide immediate and easily understood visual signals to operators, guiding workflows and supporting error-proofing initiatives. Green can signify a ready state, red can alert to faults or errors, and clear can indicate standby or neutral conditions. This dual-functionality of sensing and signalling helps streamline operations and reduces the need for multiple devices at a single station.

The K50ANLPGRCQ is engineered for harsh industrial conditions, carrying IP67 and IP69K ratings along with UL Type 4X and 13 certifications. These ratings confirm that the device is dust-tight, resistant to immersion in water, and capable of withstanding high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. The UL 4X and 13 certifications further ensure corrosion resistance and suitability for indoor and outdoor use in demanding applications. This makes the unit a dependable choice for industries such as food and beverage processing, pharmaceuticals, packaging, and general manufacturing, where rigorous cleaning and tough environmental conditions are common.

The device operates on a 12–30 V DC supply voltage, offering wide compatibility with standard industrial power systems. This flexibility allows easy integration into existing infrastructures without requiring additional power conditioning. Its quick-disconnect (M12 QD) connection further enhances practicality, enabling fast installation and simple replacement to minimise downtime.

Applications for the K50ANLPGRCQ are diverse. In assembly operations, it can act as both a detector and a visual status guide, ensuring parts are correctly placed. In packaging systems, it provides both detection and operator feedback for quality assurance. In warehouse or logistics environments, it supports pick-to-light and verification systems, where its retroreflective sensing ensures correct item detection while LEDs guide the operator.

In summary, the Banner K50ANLPGRCQ delivers a unique combination of retroreflective sensing, multi-colour LED indication, rugged IP67/IP69K and UL-rated protection, and wide voltage compatibility. By integrating reliable detection with high-visibility operator guidance in a single device, it simplifies system design while ensuring dependable performance in even the harshest industrial environments.
