Overview
The T-GAGE analog sensor is a passive, non-contacting, temperature-based device. It is used to detect object temperature within a sensing window and output a proportional voltage or current.
Product Description
Although it looks and operates just like an Expert™ photoelectric sensor, the T-GAGE detects the infrared light energy emitted by objects instead of its own emitted light. The sensor uses a thermopile detector, made up of multiple infrared-sensitive elements (thermocouples) to detect this infrared energy within its field of view.
Potential Applications:
- Hot part detection (baked goods, metals, bottles, rubber)
- Ejection verification of injection-molded parts
- Flame process verification
- Hot glue detection (packaging equipment, book binding)
- Cold part detection (frozen foods, ice, dairy)
- Roller monitoring
Sensor Features:
1. Power LED
2. Alarm Output LED
3. Push Button

Sensing Field of View
Sensing range is determined by the sensor's field of view or viewing angle, combined with the size of the object(s) being detected. The sensor's distance-to-spot size ratio (D:S ratio) is inversely related to the viewing angle; a sensor with a small viewing angle will have a large D:S ratio. The T-GAGE M18T sensors have D:S ratios of 6:1, 8:1 or 14:1. For a sensor with an 8:1 D:S ratio, the sensor spot size is a 1" diameter circle at a distance of 8"; farther from the sensor face the spot size will be larger.
Description of diagram: A cone shape representing the sensor's field of view, showing the spot size increasing with distance from the sensor. The X-axis is labeled "Distance (mm)" from 200 to 1000. The Y-axis is not explicitly labeled but represents spot size.
Distance from Sensor Face Versus Spot Size
| Sensor D:S Ratio | 100 | 200 | 300 | 400 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 800 | 900 | 1000 | Distance (mm) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 6:1 | 17 | 33 | 50 | 67 | 83 | 100 | 117 | 133 | 150 | 167 | |
| 8:1 | 13 | 25 | 38 | 50 | 63 | 75 | 88 | 100 | 113 | 125 | |
| 14:1 | 7 | 14 | 21 | 29 | 36 | 43 | 50 | 57 | 64 | 71 |
Apparent Temperature
Two factors that have an 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. Many references are available with tables of emissivity coefficients for common materials. In general, shiny unpainted metals have low emissivity, while non-glossy surfaces have high emissivity.
Shiny Surfaces
A mirror or shiny surface can redirect an object's emitted energy to an undesired location, or even bring additional unintended thermal energy into the sensor's field of view. See "Application Note" on page 7.
Object Size
If the object being detected does not fill the sensor's field of view, then the sensor averages the temperature of that object and whatever else is in the sensing field of view. For the sensor to collect the maximum amount of energy, the object should completely fill the sensor's field of view. In some applications, when the object is too small, this may not be possible. In such cases, if the object is hot enough, the thermal contrast may still be adequate to trigger the sensor output.
Alarm Output
The alarm output activates when the analog output is at 10 V or 20 mA, depending on the model (see "Figure: Analog/Alarm outputs as a function of taught conditions" on page 3).
Analog Output
The T-GAGE analog sensor can be programmed for either positive or negative output slope, based on the teach order (see "Figure: Analog/Alarm outputs as a function of taught conditions" on page 3). If the cold limit is taught first, the slope will be positive; if the hot limit is taught first, the slope will be negative. Banner's scalable output automatically distributes the output signal over the width of the programmed sensing window.
Description of graph: "Analog/Alarm outputs as a function of taught conditions". X-axis labeled "Cold" to "Hot". Y-axis on left is "Analog Output (Vdc)" from 0 to 10. Y-axis on right is "Analog Output (mA)" from 4 to 20. Two lines are shown: "Positive Slope" (taught cold first) and "Negative Slope" (taught hot first).
Installation
Installation Note
Align the sensor toward the object to be detected. Visually align if possible, or use the alignment device accessory listed in "M18T Additional Accessories" on page 9.
Wiring
Description of wiring diagram: Shows connections for a cabled sensor. Vcc (1) is connected to +12-30 V DC. Vout (2) is connected to a load for 0-10V DC or 4-20 mA output. GND (3) is connected to DC common. TEACH (4) is connected to Remote TEACH input. Shield is connected to shield. A note indicates cabled wiring diagrams are functionally identical.
?️ NOTE: Connect the shield wire to earth ground or DC common. Shielded cordsets are recommended for all quick disconnect models.
M18T Sensor Configuration
Configure the sensor using one of two TEACH methods:
- Two-Point Static TEACH
- Dynamic TEACH
Use the push button or remote input to configure the sensor.
?️ NOTE: The duration of each remote line pulse (corresponding to a push button "click"), and the period between multiple pulses, are defined as "T": 0.04 seconds < T < 0.8 seconds.
Push Button Enable/Disable
The push button can be disabled using the remote input wire (gray) to prevent unauthorized adjustment. To disable the push button, connect a normally open switch between the remote input wire and dc common or connect the remote input wire to a digital output on a Programable Logic Controller (PLC). Perform the procedure below to enable or disable the push button, where 0.04 s < T < 0.8 s.
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Remote Input | Pulse the remote line four times. ???? | The push button is enabled or disabled, depending on the previous condition. |
2-Point Static TEACH
Use 2-Point Static TEACH configuration method for applications where both ON and OFF target conditions can be presented to the sensor statically by the operator. The sensor establishes the Null (0 V or 4 mA) output condition with the first configured condition and the Span (10V or 20mA) output condition with the second configured condition, and it scales between these points.
?️ NOTE: The sensor returns to RUN mode if the first 2-Point Static TEACH condition is not configured within 60 seconds.
?️ NOTE: After the first condition is configured, the sensor remains in 2-Point Static TEACH configuration until the second condition is configured.
1. Access 2-Point Static TEACH configuration.
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Push Button | Press and hold the button for 2 seconds. ?? | Power LED turns Red ? Alarm LED turns ON ? |
| Remote Input (0.04 s < T < 0.8 s) |
No action required. |
2. Present the condition for Null output.
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Push Button | Press the button one time. ? | Alarm LED turns OFF ? |
| Remote Input | Pulse the remote line one time. ? |
3. Present the condition for Span output.
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Push Button | Press the button one time. ? | TEACH Accepted ✅ Power LED turns Green ? The sensor configures analog range and returns to Run mode |
| Remote Input | Pulse the remote line one time. ? | 2-Point Static TEACH Not Accepted ❌ The sensor returns to the beginning of the TEACH configuration. |
?️ NOTE: To exit 2-Point Static TEACH configuration without saving a configuration, press and hold the push button for 2 seconds or hold the remote line for 2 seconds. The sensor will return to Run mode without saving a configuration.
Dynamic TEACH
Use Dynamic TEACH configuration method for applications where both the ON and OFF target conditions can not be presented to the sensor dynamically by the operator. After the configuration has been completed, the analog range is optimized by the sensor halfway between the average signals presented during the Dynamic TEACH configuration. The output slope will remain in the direction of the most recently taught Two-Point Static TEACH or default to positive. The duration of each button click or remote input pulse is defined as T, where T is: 0.04 s < T < 0.8 s.
1. Access Dynamic TEACH configuration.
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Push Button | Press and hold the button for 2 seconds. ?? | Power LED turns Red ? Alarm LED turns OFF ? |
| Remote Input | No action required. |
2. Present the sensing conditions.
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Push Button | Press the button two times. ?? | Sensor begins Dynamic TEACH configuration ? Alarm LED flashes Amber at 2 Hz ?? |
| Remote Input | Pulse the remote line two times. ?? |
3. End Dynamic TEACH configuration.
| Method | Action | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Push Button | Press the button one time. ? | The sensor ends data collection; configures Null and Span limits ✅ Power LED turns Green ? The sensor returns to Run mode |
| Remote Input | Pulse the remote line one time. ? |
Changing Direction of Output Slope
The following procedure changes the direction of the analog output slope from negative to positive or from positive to negative. See "M18T Analog Output" on page 3 for an explanation of the analog output slope.
| Method | Action | Result |
