What does EDM 2 Error mean on Banner Industrial Equipment and how to fix it?
- J
  Jose BerrySep 1, 2025
  If your Banner Industrial Equipment displays an EDM 2 Error, it could be because the EDM 2 input signal isn't responding quickly enough (within 200 ms of OSSD 2 changing state), the EDM 2 input signal is changing state when OSSD 2 hasn't, or there's too much electrical noise on the EDM 2 input. Verify that the EDM wiring is correct and that the external devices meet the requirements. If the error persists, remove power to the guarded machine, disconnect the OSSD loads and EDM input signals, configure EDM for No Monitoring, and run the Initial Checkout procedure. If the error clears, the issue is likely with the external device contacts or wiring, or the external devices have a response-time problem. If the error continues, check for excessive noise on the EDM inputs.

What causes an EDM 1 Error on Banner Industrial Equipment and how can I fix it?
- M
  Michelle RodriguezAug 31, 2025
  If your Banner Industrial Equipment displays an EDM 1 Error, it could be due to the EDM 1 input signal failing to respond within 200 ms of OSSD 1 changing state (ON or OFF), the EDM 1 input signal changing state when OSSD 1 did not change, or excessive noise on the EDM 1 input. Check that the EDM wiring is correct and that the external devices meet the specified requirements. If the error continues, remove power to the guarded machine, disconnect the OSSD loads and EDM input signals, configure EDM for No Monitoring, and conduct the Initial Checkout procedure. If the error clears, the problem lies in the external device contacts or wiring, or there's a response-time issue with the external devices. If the error persists, check for excessive noise on the EDM inputs.

How to resolve a DIP Switch Error on Banner Industrial Equipment?
- P
  Pamela ThomasAug 30, 2025
  If your Banner Industrial Equipment is showing a DIP Switch Error, it could be due to incorrect DIP switch settings or changes made to these settings while the system is running. First, check that the DIP switch settings are correct. Make any necessary corrections and then reset the receiver. If the error was caused by changing the DIP switch settings while the system was in RUN mode, verify the switch settings and perform a receiver reset to resume operation with the new settings and modified system configuration. If the error persists, you may need to replace the receiver.

What to do if Banner Industrial Equipment displays a Reset Input Error?
- T
  Timothy SchneiderAug 29, 2025
  A Reset Input Error on Banner Industrial Equipment happens if the Reset switch is closed (or the wiring is shorted to +24V) during power-up. To fix this, make sure the Reset switch is open. Reset the receiver. If the error persists, disconnect the reset wire at terminal 5; remove and reapply input power. If the error then clears, the problem is in the Reset switch or its wiring. If the error continues even with the reset wire disconnected, replace the receiver.

Why does my Banner Industrial Equipment display a Receiver Error and how do I fix it?
- A
  Adam PerezAug 27, 2025
  If you encounter a Receiver Error with your Banner Industrial Equipment, it might be due to excessive electrical noise or an internal failure. First, try to reset the receiver. If the error disappears, perform a Daily Checkout procedure and resume operation if it passes. If the system fails the checkout, replace the receiver. If the error continues, check the ground connection (terminal 1). If the sensor has a good earth ground connection, perform the Initial Checkout procedure. If the error clears, check the external connections and configuration settings. If the error still occurs, replace the receiver.

What to do if Banner Industrial Equipment shows an Output Error?
- K
  Karen JohnsonAug 26, 2025
  An Output Error in Banner Industrial Equipment can occur if one or both outputs are shorted to a power supply (high or low), by shorting OSSD 1 to OSSD 2, or by an overload (greater than 0.5A). To resolve this, disconnect the OSSD loads and reset the receiver. If the error clears, the problem lies in the OSSD load(s) or load wiring. If the error persists without any load connected, consider replacing the receiver.

Why do Banner Security Sensors display an Excessive Noise Error?
- A
  Anthony MiddletonAug 26, 2025
  An Excessive Noise Error on Banner Security Sensors usually indicates excessive electrical noise. To resolve this, first, reset the emitter by cycling the power. If the error clears, perform the daily checkout procedure. If the system checks out, you can resume operation; otherwise, replace the emitter. If the error persists, check the ground connection. If the sensor has a good earth ground connection, check for electrical noise. If the error continues, replace the emitter.

How to fix an Emitter Error on Banner Security Sensors?
- A
  Amanda EdwardsAug 25, 2025
  If your Banner Security Sensors are showing an Emitter Error, it might be due to excessive electrical noise or an internal failure. Try resetting the emitter by cycling the power. If the error clears, proceed with the daily checkout procedure. If the system passes the checkout, resume normal operation. If it fails, replace the emitter. If the error remains, inspect the ground connection. If a good earth ground connection is confirmed and electrical noise is present, address the noise issue. If the problem continues after these steps, replace the emitter.
