Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PMT20RIT Through-Beam Photoelectric Receiver with Timer?
The Carlo Gavazzi PMT20RIT is a robust through-beam photoelectric receiver with integrated timing functionality, designed for reliable long-range object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi PMT series, it provides a sensing distance of up to 20 m when paired and correctly aligned with the corresponding through-beam transmitter.
The PMT20RIT uses modulated infrared light and provides an SPDT relay change-over output, giving both normally open and normally closed contacts for flexible control integration. Its adjustable sensing arrangement and integrated timer allow the switching response to be adapted to the requirements of automated machinery, material handling systems and process sequences.
Designed for industrial installations, the PMT20RIT combines long-range through-beam detection with a wide AC/DC supply range. Field-wired electrical connections, rugged rectangular construction and IP67 environmental protection make it a practical choice for conveyors, packaging equipment, production machinery and other applications requiring dependable detection with timed relay control.

Reliable Long-Range Detection with Integrated Timing Control
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses separate transmitter and receiver units installed opposite one another. The transmitter directs a modulated infrared beam towards the PMT20RIT receiver, and an object is detected when it interrupts the optical path. Because detection does not depend on light reflected from the target, through-beam technology provides dependable sensing across long distances and with objects of different colours, finishes and reflectivity.
The Carlo Gavazzi PMT20RIT adds integrated timing control to this dependable sensing principle. Combined with its 20 m sensing capability, adjustable sensitivity and SPDT relay output, the timer allows the sensor response to be adapted to machine sequences where controlled switching delays or extended output periods are required.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Timed object-detection sequences.
- Long-range object presence detection.
- Pallet, container and load detection.
- Warehouse and logistics automation.
