Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PB10CNT15NO Through-Beam Photoelectric Receiver?
The Carlo Gavazzi PB10CNT15NO is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object and presence detection in industrial automation, elevators, escalators and entrance-control systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PB10 series, it works with the corresponding PB10CNT15 emitter to provide dependable long-range photoelectric detection.
The PB10CNT15NO provides a sensing range of up to 15 m and uses an NPN normally open (NO) transistor output for straightforward integration with compatible PLC and machine-control inputs. The through-beam arrangement provides reliable detection because the receiver directly monitors the modulated infrared beam transmitted across the sensing area.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the PB10CNT15NO offers a maximum output current of 100 mA and adjustable sensitivity. Its compact Ø10 mm polycarbonate housing, integral 5 m cable and IP67 protection make it particularly suitable for installations where space is limited and dependable industrial sensing is required.

Reliable Long-Range Through-Beam Detection
Through-beam photoelectric systems use separate emitter and receiver units mounted opposite one another. The PB10CNT15NO monitors the modulated infrared beam produced by the corresponding emitter and changes its NPN normally open switching output when the beam condition changes, allowing objects or obstructions to be detected reliably.
This sensing method is particularly effective where long detection distances and consistent operation are required. The PB10CNT15NO combines a 15 m range with adjustable sensitivity and a compact Ø10 mm housing, making it suitable for both industrial machinery and specialised door and entrance-control applications.
Typical Applications
- Elevator door monitoring systems.
- Escalator sensing and control systems.
- Automatic doors and entrance-control equipment.
- Conveyor object and presence detection.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Material handling and automated equipment.
- Long-range through-beam detection installations.
