Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD30CNT15PAM5SA Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD30CNT15PAM5SA is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable long-range object detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD30 series, it provides a rated operating distance of up to 15 m when paired with the corresponding PD30 through-beam emitter.
The PD30CNT15PAM5SA uses 850 nm modulated infrared light and provides a preset PNP transistor output with complementary NO + NC switching. Light and dark switching functionality, together with adjustable sensitivity, allows the receiver to be configured for a wide range of conveyors, packaging machines and automated handling systems.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, 500 Hz operating frequency and compact approximately 10.8 × 30 × 20 mm housing, the PD30CNT15PAM5SA combines long sensing distance with a miniature footprint. This version features an M8 connector, ABS housing and IP67 protection for convenient installation in industrial equipment.

Reliable Long-Range Through-Beam Detection
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses separate emitter and receiver units mounted opposite each other. The emitter sends an infrared beam directly to the receiver, and an object is detected when it interrupts this optical path. This arrangement provides long sensing distances and dependable detection because the receiver monitors a dedicated transmitted beam rather than light reflected directly from the target.
The Carlo Gavazzi PD30 series combines this through-beam sensing principle with compact construction and adjustable sensitivity. When paired with the corresponding emitter, the PD30CNT15PAM5SA provides detection across distances up to 15 m, making it particularly suitable for conveyors, packaging lines and material handling systems requiring reliable detection over large gaps.
Typical Applications
- Long-range conveyor object detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and logistics systems.
- Component presence and position monitoring.
- Automated counting and inspection equipment.
- Detection across machine openings and large gaps.
- PLC-controlled machinery and factory automation.
