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.

To order the 9 m (30 ft) PVC cable model, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, M18TUP8 W/30. Models with a quick disconnect
require a mating cordset. See
"Cordsets - MQDEC2 Series" on page 8

  • Page 2 M18T Series Infrared T-GAGE™ Temperature Sensor with Analog Output 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 (see "M18T Sensing Field of View"...
