ua18cld15po – ult prox lp m18 diff pnp no cable
Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15PO is an M18 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor with an adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range, PNP normally open output, 18–30 V DC supply, 2 m cable and IP67 protection for industrial object detection.
Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15PO Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15PO is an M18 ultrasonic diffuse-reflective proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection in industrial automation and machine control applications. Its ultrasonic sensing principle enables dependable detection of many materials without relying on target colour, transparency or optical contrast.
The UA18CLD15PO provides an adjustable sensing range of 200–1500 mm and features a PNP normally open switching output. With an operating frequency of 8 Hz and load current capability below 500 mA, it provides a practical switching solution for object presence, positioning, material handling and level-related applications.
Designed for an 18–30 V DC supply, the UA18CLD15PO combines a compact threaded M18 plastic housing with a 2 m cable connection for direct wiring into machinery and control systems. Its IP67 protection rating, yellow LED indication and integrated short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection support dependable operation in industrial environments.

Reliable Medium-Range Non-Contact Detection
Ultrasonic proximity sensors such as the Carlo Gavazzi UA18CLD15PO transmit high-frequency sound waves towards a target and evaluate the returning echo to determine whether an object is present within the configured sensing range. Because this technology uses reflected sound rather than visible light, detection is largely independent of the target's colour and optical contrast.
The adjustable 200–1500 mm sensing range gives the UA18CLD15PO useful reach for industrial automation applications where shorter-range proximity sensors may not be suitable. Its PNP normally open output provides a straightforward switching signal for compatible PLCs and control equipment, while the 2 m cable supports direct installation into machinery, junction boxes and control systems.
Typical Applications
- Object presence and position detection.
- Industrial machinery and automation systems.
- Conveyor and material handling equipment.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Level and fill-state detection.
- Component detection on production lines.
- PLC-controlled automation systems.
- Medium-range non-contact detection.
- OEM machinery requiring PNP proximity sensing.
