Overview

The Carlo Gavazzi PMP12RIM is a polarized retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for long-distance object detection in industrial automation. It uses modulated red light at 660nm to achieve a 12-meter detection range with a 0.15m blind zone. The sensor operates on 24V DC or 24V AC power and provides an SPDT relay output with switch-selectable make/break switching and mute functions. The compact 25x65x81mm design includes a 1/2" NPT cable gland and mounting bracket for easy integration into conveyor systems, packaging machinery, and material handling applications.
