Banner Engineering Introduces Infrared Temperature Sensor

—April 19, 2006—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.
