Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05NPM1TR Ultrasonic Sensor?

The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05NPM1TR is a versatile diffuse-reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection, position sensing and level-control applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD series, it combines an M18 cylindrical housing with two configurable NPN switching outputs and remote Teach-in functionality for flexible industrial automation.

The UA18CLD05NPM1TR provides an adjustable sensing distance of 60–500 mm and features two NPN open-collector switching outputs. Each output can be configured for NO or NC operation, while the sensor supports normal switching, window and adjustable-hysteresis functions, enabling one sensor to handle a variety of detection and level-monitoring requirements.

Designed for industrial control systems, the sensor operates from a 12–30 V DC supply and features a compact M18 × 93 mm housing, 5-pin M12 connector and IP67 protection rating. Remote Teach-in by wire allows switching points and operating modes to be configured without conventional mechanical adjustment, supporting efficient integration into machinery and automated processes.

Flexible Dual-Output Ultrasonic Detection

Ultrasonic sensors detect targets by transmitting high-frequency acoustic pulses and measuring the returning echo. Because sensing is based on sound rather than visible light, the technology can detect many objects independently of colour, transparency or optical surface characteristics, making it useful for applications where photoelectric sensing may be more challenging.

The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD05NPM1TR combines true distance measurement with two independently useful NPN switching outputs. Remote Teach-in enables set-point configuration, while selectable normal, window and adjustable-hysteresis modes allow the sensor to perform functions such as presence detection, upper and lower level control or monitoring within a defined distance window.

Typical Applications

• Tank and vessel level control.
• Object presence and position detection.
• Upper and lower level monitoring.
• Packaging and production machinery.
• Conveyor and material handling systems.
• Container and product detection.
• Automated assembly equipment.
• Machine-building applications requiring dual switching points.
