Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi ET5505NPAP-1 Through-Beam Photoelectric Receiver?
The Carlo Gavazzi ET5505NPAP-1 is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation, conveying and material-handling applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi E.55 flat-pack photoelectric range, it operates with a separate ET5505-1 emitter to create a precise through-beam sensing system.
The ET5505NPAP-1 provides an adjustable operating distance of up to 5 m and features complementary NPN NO+NC switching outputs. With a typical operating frequency of 100 Hz and separate make-and-break switching functions, it is suitable for presence detection, counting and position-monitoring duties on automated machinery.
Designed for common industrial DC control systems, the receiver operates from 10–30 V DC and can switch loads up to 200 mA. The -1 plug version uses an M12 connector and is housed in a compact 35 × 55 × 15 mm polycarbonate flat-pack enclosure with IP67 protection.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection with NPN NO+NC Outputs
A through-beam photoelectric system uses separate emitter and receiver units positioned opposite one another. The compatible emitter directs a modulated infrared beam towards the ET5505NPAP-1 receiver, and an object passing between the two units interrupts the optical path to produce a switching response. The separate optical arrangement provides precise non-contact detection for automated machinery and material-handling equipment.
The ET5505NPAP-1 provides complementary NPN normally open and normally closed outputs, allowing control equipment to use either make or break switching logic. Its 5 m adjustable operating distance, M12 connection, IP67 enclosure and compact flat-pack construction make it particularly suitable for conveyor, packaging and production-line installations.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor object detection.
- Material-handling systems.
- Packaging machinery.
- Production and assembly lines.
- Presence and absence detection.
- Part counting systems.
- Position and passage monitoring.
- Industrial automation machinery.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of sensor is the Carlo Gavazzi ET5505NPAP-1?
The ET5505NPAP-1 is a through-beam photoelectric receiver designed to operate with a separate compatible emitter for non-contact object detection.
What is the sensing range of the ET5505NPAP-1?
The receiver supports an adjustable rated operating distance of up to 5 m when correctly paired and aligned with the corresponding through-beam emitter.
What outputs does the ET5505NPAP-1 provide?
The ET5505NPAP-1 provides complementary NPN NO+NC outputs, giving both normally open and normally closed switching functions.
What supply voltage does the ET5505NPAP-1 require?
The receiver operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and supports a continuous output current of up to 200 mA.
Does the ET5505NPAP-1 require a separate emitter?
Yes. The ET5505NPAP-1 is the receiver and must be used with a compatible ET5505 through-beam emitter. Carlo Gavazzi specifies that the emitter and receiver are ordered separately.
What connection does the ET5505NPAP-1 use?
The -1 version uses an M12 plug connection. The corresponding ET5505NPAP receiver without the -1 suffix is the cable-connected version.
How quickly does the ET5505NPAP-1 respond?
The receiver has a typical operating frequency of 100 Hz, with a specified OFF-to-ON response time of 4 ms and ON-to-OFF response time of 6 ms.
What protection rating does the ET5505NPAP-1 have?
The ET5505NPAP-1 has an IP67 degree of protection and includes electrical protection against reverse polarity, short circuits and transients.
