Self-contained dc-operated photoelectric sensors in a robust metal housing
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

* 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.

Self-Contained Photoelectric Sensors in a Metal Housing
Sensor Configuration
Configuring the TM18 sensor is easy, using one push-button switch on the sensor
housing. Set the sensor for application sensing conditions using Dark SET, or toggle
between Light Operate or Dark Operate sensing with the same button.
Dark SET allows the sensor to maximize the signal-to-noise ratio without setting
multiple targets. With Dark SET, the sensor learns the darkest condition. For diffuse
models, this is typically the area behind the object to be sensed. For LP models, this is
typically the object to be sensed.

Dark SET Procedure
• Diffuse mode: Remove object to be sensed from sensor’s field of view.
Retroreflective mode: Place object to be sensed between the retroreflector and the
sensor.
• Press push button approximately 2 seconds; Signal LED flashes yellow/green.
• Release button; LED stops flashing when programming is complete.
Light Operate/Dark Operate Select
Select Light Operate (output conducts when object is present) or Dark Operate (output
conducts when object is absent) using the push button to toggle between the
selections. Toggling the sensing mode does not affect the sensor’s gain.
• Press push button approximately 10 seconds; release push button.
• Signal LED flashes yellow/green, followed by 5 flashes of 1 color to designate current
selection:
5 green flashes = Light Operate
5 yellow flashes = Dark Operate
