Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi PA18CAD10NASA is a diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for general-purpose DC applications. This M18 sensor features a robust plastic housing with an IP69K rating, making it suitable for harsh environments and washdown applications, further validated by ECOLAB approval. It operates on a wide supply voltage range of 10-30 VDC and provides both Normally Open (NO) and Normally Closed (NC) NPN outputs, offering flexibility in system integration. The sensor utilizes red modulated light (625nm) for detection and has a sensing range of up to 1000 mm. Connection is facilitated by a durable 2-meter PVC cable. The PA18CAD10NASA is part of Carlo Gavazzi's cost-effective M18 family of sensors, known for their reliability and performance in material handling, packaging machinery, and automatic door systems.
