Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PB10C2T20NC Through-Beam Photoelectric Receiver?
The Carlo Gavazzi PB10C2T20NC is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable presence and object detection in industrial automation, powered doors and access-control systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PB10 series, this Code 2 receiver operates with a compatible transmitter and provides an NPN normally closed output for straightforward integration with industrial control equipment.
The PB10C2T20NC provides a sensing range of up to 20 m and uses infrared light for dependable through-beam detection. Its dark-switching operating mode changes the receiver output when the transmitted light beam is interrupted, making it suitable for applications where reliable obstruction and presence monitoring are required.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the PB10C2T20NC features an NPN normally closed (NC) output with a load capacity of up to 100 mA. Its compact 10 mm cylindrical smooth-barrel plastic housing, integral 5 m cable and IP67 protection make it suitable for demanding machine and access-system installations.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Systems
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses separate transmitter and receiver units positioned opposite one another. The PB10C2T20NC monitors the infrared beam generated by its compatible Code 2 transmitter and changes its NPN normally closed output state when an object interrupts that beam, enabling dependable presence and obstruction detection.
The combination of long-range sensing, dark-switching operation and a compact 10 mm housing makes the PB10C2T20NC particularly useful where reliable detection must be achieved with minimal installation space. Short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection further support dependable integration into industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial doors and powered gate systems.
- Conveyor object and presence detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and sorting equipment.
- Access-control and entrance systems.
- Machine position and obstruction monitoring.
- Long-range through-beam photoelectric sensing.
