Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PB10C2T20 Through-Beam Photoelectric Emitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi PB10C2T20 is a compact through-beam photoelectric emitter designed for reliable object and presence detection in industrial automation and powered access applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PB10 series, this Code 2 transmitter uses modulated infrared light and operates together with a compatible receiver to create a dependable photoelectric detection beam.
With a nominal sensing range of up to 20 m, the PB10C2T20 is suitable for applications requiring detection across relatively long distances while maintaining a very compact sensor profile. The emitter uses an 880 nm infrared LED, and its cylindrical smooth-barrel housing measures just Ø10 mm, making it particularly useful where installation space is limited.
The PB10C2T20 operates from a 10–30 V DC supply and is supplied with a 5 m cable for straightforward machine wiring. Its durable plastic housing provides IP67 protection, while the emitter incorporates a mute control input and is designed as part of an ESPE Type 2 photoelectric sensing system.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Systems
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses a separate emitter and receiver positioned opposite one another. The PB10C2T20 generates a modulated infrared beam that is detected by the corresponding receiver, allowing the control system to identify when an object interrupts the beam path.
The combination of a compact Ø10 mm housing, long sensing range and IP67 protection makes the PB10C2T20 suitable for installations where reliable detection must be achieved without bulky sensor hardware. The emitter and receiver are ordered separately, allowing the required output configuration to be selected on the matching receiver.
Typical Applications
- Industrial doors and powered gates.
- Conveyor object and presence detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and automated equipment.
- Access-control and entrance systems.
- Machine position and product detection.
- Long-range through-beam photoelectric sensing.
