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).

WARNING: Not To Be Used for Personnel Protection
Never use this device as a sensing device for personnel protection. Doing so could lead to
serious injury or death. This device does not include the self-checking redundant circuitry necessary
to allow its use in personnel safety applications. A sensor failure or malfunction can cause either an
energized or de-energized sensor output condition.
