Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi PH18CNR65PAM1SA is a retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for industrial automation with a sensing range of 6500mm using infrared modulated light at 850nm. This M18 sensor operates on a 10-30VDC power supply and features PNP output with both normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) switching options, configurable for light or dark switching via internal DIP switches. The device includes an M12 plug for direct cable connection and achieves IP69K ingress protection, making it suitable for washdown environments and harsh industrial conditions. Certified to ECOLAB standards, it meets stringent hygiene requirements in food processing, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. The sensor’s compact M18 housing and robust construction ensure reliable detection in conveyor systems, packaging lines, and material handling applications where precision and durability are critical. With a response time of 1ms and a supply current of 20mA, it delivers fast detection for high-speed processes while maintaining low power consumption.
