Datasheet

•

Heavy duty metal housing with 18 mm threaded barrel mount and integral

metal QD prevents sensor damage during machine assembly, transport,

maintenance, and operation

•

Right angle "T" mounting fits in tight places, prevents sensor damage, and

avoids personnel catch points

•

Models with dedicated 3-wire output NPN or PNP for OEM machine builders —

designed to work with I/O block splitters for reduced wiring costs

•

Models with 4-wire complementary NPN or PNP outputs available

•

Featuring EZ-BEAM technology provides reliable sensing without adjustments

•

Visible red LED models available in opposed, polarized retroreflective, diffuse,

and fixed-field (background suppression) modes

•

Infrared models available in fixed-field (background suppression) mode

•

Completely epoxy encapsulated electronics to provide superior durability,

especially in harsh sensing environments

•

Sensors rated IP69K for resistance to intermittent high pressure washdown

•

Innovative dual indicator systems takes the guess work out of sensor

performance monitoring

•

Enhanced immunity to fluorescent lights on fixed field and diffuse sensors

•

Cross talk avoidance allows two sensors to be used in close proximity on

polarized retro, diffuse, and fixed field sensors

To order the 9 m (30 ft) cable models, add the suffix "W/30" to the cabled model number. For example, "TM186E W/30".

To order the 4-pin Euro M12 integral QD models, add suffix Q8 (for example, TM186EQ8). To order the 4-pin Euro M12

pigtail QD models: add suffix Q5 (for example, TM186EQ5).
