T-GAGE M18T infrared temperature sensor with analog output

October 2006 Temperature Measurement

Banner Engineering announces the addition of the M18T analog output model to its line of T-GAGE infrared temperature gauging sensors. The M18T senses whether the object is warmer or colder than its surrounding - even when the difference is only 3°C and even if the object is stationary. The self-contained sensor requires no controller to operate, and its TEACH function allows the user to program two distinct temperature switchpoints for an output that automatically scales over a positive or negative slope.

The M18T features an 18 mm stainless-steel barrel construction with fully encapsulated electronics rated IP67 for reliable operation, even in harsh sensing environments. It is ideal for a variety of applications such as monitoring surface temperature, forewarning of overheating parts, and verifying cooking, curing and surface temperatures.

Features of the M18T are:

* Delivers fast response time of 75 milliseconds.

* Features a detection spot size of 7 to 167 mm.

* Available with static and dynamic remote TEACH.

* Includes two highly visible LEDs for Power ON/OFF, TEACH and Alarm output status.

* Available with 6:1, 8:1, or 14:1 distance-to-spot size ratio (D:S ratio).

* Includes a 0 to 10 V d.c. analog and PNP alarm output.

* Provides option of changing analog slope direction from positive to negative or negative to positive.

* Offers a choice of integrated lens for general purpose use, enclosed plastic face for food applications and germanium lens for narrow field of view.

* Operates on 12 to 30 V d.c.

* Includes 2 m or 9 m unterminated cable, or 5-pin Euro-style QD.
