5. Opsætning og installation
Proper installation is crucial for the accurate and reliable operation of the M18TUP14 sensor.
5.1 Montering
The M18TUP14 sensor features an M18 threaded barrel for easy mounting. Use appropriate mounting hardware (not included) to secure the sensor in the desired location. Ensure the sensor's lens is unobstructed and has a clear line of sight to the target area for temperature measurement. The IP67 rating ensures protection against dust and temporary immersion in water, making it suitable for harsh industrial environments.

5.2 Ledningsføring
Connect the sensor to your control system according to the following general guidelines. Refer to the specific wiring diagram provided with your sensor for detailed connections. Ensure power is OFF before wiring.
- Strømforsyning: Connect the sensor to a stable 12V to 30V DC power source. Observe correct polarity.
- Analog Output (0-10V): Connect the analog output wire to the corresponding analog input on your PLC, data acquisition system, or controller. This output provides a continuous voltage signal proportional to the measured temperature.
- PNP Alarm Output: Connect the PNP alarm output wire to a digital input on your controller. This output will switch high (to supply voltage) when the temperature exceeds a configured threshold.
- Jord: Ensure a proper ground connection for stable operation and safety.
6. Betjening
Once installed and wired, the M18TUP14 sensor is ready for operation.
6.1 Power-Up and Indicators
Upon applying power, the PWR (Power) indicator LED on the sensor will illuminate, typically green, indicating that the sensor is receiving power. The UD (Output) indicator LED will illuminate when the PNP alarm output is active (i.e., when the measured temperature exceeds the set alarm threshold).
6.2 Analog Output Reading
The 0-10V analog output provides a continuous representation of the measured temperature. You will need to scale this voltage reading in your control system (PLC, HMI, etc.) to convert it into a temperature value (e.g., degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit) based on the sensor's specified temperature range (-20°C to +300°C).
F.eksample, 0V might correspond to -20°C and 10V to +300°C. Consult the sensor's data sheet for the exact scaling factor if not provided here.
6.3 Setting Alarm Threshold (TEACH Function)
The 'TEACH' button on the sensor is used to set the PNP alarm threshold. The exact procedure may vary slightly, but typically involves:
- Place the sensor in the environment or at the temperature you wish to set as the alarm threshold.
- Press and hold the 'TEACH' button for a specified duration (e.g., 2-5 seconds) until the OUT indicator flashes, indicating it has learned the new threshold.
- Release the button. The sensor is now configured, and the PNP alarm will activate when the temperature exceeds this newly taught value.
Refer to the detailed programming instructions in the full Banner Engineering product manual for advanced teaching modes or specific timing requirements.
7. Vedligeholdelse
The M18TUP14 sensor is designed for minimal maintenance. However, periodic checks can ensure optimal performance and longevity.
- Rensning: Keep the sensor lens clean and free from dust, dirt, or debris. Use a soft, lint-free cloth and, if necessary, a mild cleaning solution. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens or housing.
- Inspektion: Periodically inspect the sensor and its wiring for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or loose connections. Ensure mounting is secure.
- Miljøforhold: Kontroller, at driftsmiljøet holder sig inden for de angivne temperatur- og fugtighedsgrænser.
8. Fejlfinding
If you encounter issues with your M18TUP14 sensor, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Mulig årsag | Løsning |
|---|---|---|
| Ingen strøm (PWR-LED slukket) | Ingen strømforsyning; Forkert ledningsføring; Defekt strømforsyning. | Kontroller strømtilslutninger og volumentage (12-30V DC). Verify wiring polarity. Test power supply. |
| Incorrect Analog Output Reading | Sensor lens obstructed/dirty; Incorrect scaling in controller; Sensor outside temperature range. | Clean sensor lens. Verify scaling parameters in your control system. Ensure target temperature is within -20°C to +300°C. |
| PNP Alarm Not Triggering | Incorrect alarm threshold set; Wiring issue; Temperature not reaching threshold. | Re-teach the alarm threshold using the 'TEACH' button. Check PNP output wiring. Verify actual temperature. |
| Intermitterende aflæsninger | Loose wiring connections; Electrical interference; Unstable power supply. | Secure all wiring connections. Ensure proper grounding. Use shielded cables if interference is suspected. |
If the problem persists after attempting these steps, contact Banner Engineering technical support or your authorized distributor for further assistance.
