* For 9 m (30') cable, add suffix "W/30" to the model number of any cabled model (e.g., M18TUP8 W/30). A model with a QD connector

requires an accessory mating cable. See Quick-Disconnect Cables on page 8 for more information.

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection

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

ous 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 ener-

gized or de-energized sensor output condition.

T-GAGE™ M18T Series Infrared Temperature Sensors Overview The T-GAGE analog sensor is a passive, non-contacting, temperature-based device. It is used to detect object(s) temperature within a sensing window and output a proportional voltage or current. 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
T-GAGE™ M18T Series Infrared Temperature Sensors 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.

T-GAGE™ M18T Series Infrared Temperature Sensors Teaching Limits Using Dynamic TEACH Dynamic TEACH is a method of setting the sensor’s limits while the application is active. Dynamic TEACH will sense the high and low temperature limits of the process and automatically set the analog range between these limits. The output slope will remain in the direction of the most recently taught Two-Point Static TEACH or default to positive. Dynamic TEACH Procedure Remote Line (0.04 sec < T < 0.
