WARNING . . .
Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use these products as sensing devices for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to serious injury or death.
These sensors do NOT include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary to allow their use in personnel safety
applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an energized or de-energized sensor output condition. Consult your
current Banner Safety Products catalog for safety products which meet OSHA, ANSI and IEC standards for personnel protection.
!
* For selectable NPN/PNP models, other cable/connector options are available:
• 9 m cable: add suffix “W/30” to the model number (e.g., TM18BM6D W/30)
• 4-pin Euro-style integral QD: add suffix “Q” to the model number (e.g., TM18BM6DQ)
(1) Retroreflective range is specified using one model BRT-84 reflector. Actual sensing range may be more or less than specified, depending
upon efficiency and reflective area of the reflector(s) in use. For example, using a BRT-92x92C reflector will increase range to 5 m.
Features
• Robust die-cast nickel-plated housing with sealed membrane switch is designed to
meet IEC IP67 requirements
• Excellent immunity to noise, including high-speed-switching fluorescent lamps and
EMI (electromagnetic interference)
• Simple single-button setup procedure
• Selectable light operate/dark operate (push-button toggle)
• Models with selectable NPN or PNP operation (see hookups) or dedicated single
NPN or PNP output; 300mA current rating
• Enhanced optical crosstalk avoidance
