5. หมายเหตุ
6. BT23S is a fiber assembly and requires a compatible fiber optic amplifier for proper operation.
7. Glass fiber is more fragile than plastic fiber; avoid excessive bending or mechanical damage during installation and use.
8. Maximum operating temperature is 249°C; exceeding this temperature may degrade or damage fiber performance.
9. Although the stainless steel sheath provides good protection, impact or cutting by sharp objects should still be avoided.

8. Model Selection Guide

When selecting Banner fiber optic sensors, decisions can be made based on the following key factors:

1. สภาพแวดล้อม: For high temperatures (>100องศาเซลเซียส) and corrosive environments, stainless-steel sheathed glass fiber is preferred.
2. Detection Mode:

Diffuse mode (เช่น, BT23S): suitable for single-end installation with relatively short detection range

Opposed mode (เช่น, IT23S): long detection range, ความแม่นยำสูง, requires two-end installation

3. พื้นที่ติดตั้ง: For confined spaces, choose right-angle models (เช่น, BTA23S) to save space.
4. Fiber Configuration:

Bifurcated (เช่น, BT23S): integrated transmitter and receiver, easier installation

Individual (เช่น, IT23S): separate transmitter or receiver, suitable for long-range opposed applications

5. Sensing Tip: Threaded for precise positioning; flat-end for general applications
