Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi PA18CLD02TO is a M18 diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for industrial detection tasks. Operating on a 20-250VAC power supply via a 2-wire connection, it eliminates the need for additional controllers in many applications. The sensor uses infrared modulated light at 880nm, providing reliable detection up to 200mm with a normally open (NO) output. Its compact M18 housing and 2-meter integrated cable simplify installation in tight spaces or conveyor systems. Ideal for packaging, material handling, and automation, this sensor detects opaque and semi-transparent objects without requiring reflectors. The 2-wire design reduces wiring complexity while maintaining robust performance in industrial environments. Compatible with standard AC power systems, it offers a cost-effective solution for presence detection, positioning, and counting tasks.
  • M18 diffuse-reflective photoelectric sensor with 200mm detection range
  • Infrared modulated light at 880nm for reliable object detection
  • 20-250VAC power supply with 2-wire connection for simplified wiring
  • Normally open (NO) output for direct control of loads or PLCs
  • 2-meter integrated cable for easy installation and reduced downtime
