SE-26B
MI 1-928 1 B
Basic safety
information
Proper use
The line guiding sensor is intended to be used on machines
or systems to sense the position of a line or an edge of a
moving web and give this signal to a guding controller.
Indoor operation, see environmental specifications.
Improper use
Operation outside the technical specifications
Operation in an Ex-area or intrinsically safe area
Outdoor operation
Any other use than the proper use shall be deemed
inappropriate
Installation and commissioning
Any line guiding sensor which is damaged must not be
installed or put into operation.
Only perform installation, maintenance or repair tasks on the
line guiding sensor when the machine into which the SE-26B
is installed has been stopped and is secured from being
turned on.
Only perform installation, maintenance or repair tasks on the
line guiding sensor when there is no electrical power in the
system.
The line guiding sensor must be securely mounted before
being placed in operation.
Only replacement parts obtained from Maxcess may be used.
No modifications may be made to the line guiding sensor.
Do not place electrical cables under mechanical strain.

Basic safety information
(continued)
Operation
None, as tasks performed by the operator are generally not
required.
Maintenance and repair
WARNING –Death or injury can result from unexpected
movement of the machine into which the SE-26B is installed.
Protect against unexpected movement by removing electrical
power from the line guiding sensor and the machine into
which the line guiding sensor is installed.
Decommissioning
The line guiding sensor must be disposed of in accordance
with all the applicable national, state and local regulations.

Mechanical installation
WARNING –Death or injury can result from
unexpected movement of the machine into which the
SE-26B is installed.
Protect against unexpected movement by removing
electrical power from the SE-26B and the machine
into which the sensor is installed.
WARNING –Danger of injury from crushing.
Maintenance and repair tasks on the SE-26B must be
performed only when the machine into which the SE-
26B is installed has been stopped and has been
secured from being turned on again.
Guiding types supported
Line guiding
Edge of line or material
Figure 3. Guiding types
Install the SE-26B
1. Center the edge or line on the web in the sensor's
light spot.
2. Install the sensor using two M5 bolts.
The web surface at the guide point must be
supported.
The web surface must be 10 [ 0.394] from the
front surface of the sensor lens; see Figure 2.
No web plane change can be tolerated by the
sensor.
To change the sensing orientation:
Unscrew the lens and hole cover components
and interchange them. Note that each part has
a corresponding o-ring. See Figure 4.

INSTALLATION
www.maxcessintl.com
SE-26B
MI 1-928 1 B
Using the M20 mounting
bracket
The M20 fine adjustment mounting bracket clamps onto a
25.4 [1.0] square bar. Dimensions from the centerline of the
square bar to the web surface permit plus and minus
adjustments of the system. See Figure 2 on page 3-1.
When the M20 tilt feature is used, the sensor must be
readjusted.
Different material types
FLAT non-reflective materials
Mount the SE-26B sensor perpendicular to the web so that all
of the light from the sensor is reflected back into the lens.
GLOSSY reflective materials
(Example: glossy laminates, metallic materials, shiny Mylar®)
Mount the SE-26B sensor at a 15° angle from perpendicular by
tilting the mounting bracket. This causes a portion of the
sensor light to be reflected away from the lens. See Figure 5.
For glossy materials
For flat materials
Figure 5. Guiding different material types
Electrical installation
CAUTION –Never place electrical cables under mechanical
strain. Always provide mechanical support of wiring with either
clamps or flexible or rigid conduit.
All wiring must comply with the essential requirements of the
appropriate standard(s) and is the responsibility of the installer.

OPERATION
www.maxcessintl.com
SE-26B
MI 1-928 1 B
Modes of operation
There are two modes of operation: line guiding and edge
guiding. See Figure 3.
Line guiding
LINE mode is for guiding to the center of a printed line
1.27 [0.050] to 2.54 [0.100] wide with a minimum of
2.54 [0.100] of plain background on both sides of the line.
Lines as small as 0.25 [0.010] with good contrast are
possible to guide from. The line may be continuous or
broken.
Edge guiding
EDGE mode is for guiding to the edge of a material on a
roller or backup plate, to the edge of a continuous printed
pattern, or to the edge of line wider than 2.54 [0.100] on a
solid background.
Select the mode
Select the mode in the Fife guiding controller that is
connected to the sensor; edge guiding on Sensor 1 and line
guiding on Sensor 2.
ASC mode
ASC mode prevents large guide movements when the line or
edge of the material is lost by the sensor. When guiding to a
non-continuous line or edge, enable ASC mode in the Fife
guiding controller.
