WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

Never use this product as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury

or death. This product does NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow its use in

personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-ener-

gized sensor output condition.

M18T T-Gage Sensor Overview The T-GAGE analog sensor is a passive, non-contacting, temperature-based device. It is used to detect object(s) that are either hotter or colder than the ambient condition, and then activate an output. While it looks and operates just like an Expert™ photoelectric sensor, the TGAGE detects the infrared light energy emitted by objects, instead of its own emitted light.
PAGE 3
M18T T-Gage Sensor Apparent Temperature Two factors that have a large influence on apparent temperature are the object’s emissivity and whether or not the object fills the sensor’s field of view. Object Emissivity: A “blackbody” is a “perfect” emitter, with an emissivity of 1.0 at all temperatures and wavelengths. Most surfaces emit only a fraction of the amount of thermal energy that a blackbody would. Typical T-GAGE applications will be sensing objects with emissivities ranging from 0.5 to 0.95.

M18T T-Gage Sensor Teaching Limits Using Two-Point Static TEACH Two-Point TEACH is the traditional setup method, used when two conditions can be presented individually by the user. The sensor establishes a single sensing threshold (the switchpoint) midway between the two taught conditions, with the Output ON condition on one side and the Output OFF condition on the other.
PAGE 5
M18T T-Gage Sensor Teaching Limits Using Dynamic TEACH Dynamic TEACH is a method of setting the sensor’s threshold while the application is active. Dynamic TEACH will sense the high and low temperature limits of the process and automatically set the threshold at the midpoint between these limits. Dynamic TEACH Procedure Remote Line (0.04 sec < T < 0.
