Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PC50CNR10RP-5M Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PC50CNR10RP-5M is a versatile retro-reflective photoelectric sensor designed for reliable long-distance object detection in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PC50 photoelectric sensor series, it combines a 10 m sensing range with adjustable sensitivity, a relay change-over output and a wide AC/DC operating voltage range.
The PC50CNR10RP-5M uses 880 nm modulated infrared light directed towards a separate reflector, allowing objects to be detected when they interrupt the optical path. The long sensing distance and adjustable sensitivity provide flexibility for applications including conveyors, packaging equipment, material handling systems and automatic machinery.
With a 10.8–264 V DC / 21.6–264 V AC supply, SPDT relay output with NO+NC contacts, selectable light/dark switching and a 5 m cable, the PC50CNR10RP-5M is suitable for integration into a wide variety of industrial control circuits.

Reliable Long-Range Detection for Industrial Automation
Retro-reflective photoelectric sensors incorporate the light emitter and receiver within the same housing and direct the emitted beam towards a separate reflector. When an object interrupts the returning beam, the sensor changes its output state. This arrangement enables long sensing distances while requiring electrical wiring at only one side of the detection area.
The PC50CNR10RP-5M combines a 10 m sensing range, adjustable sensitivity and selectable light/dark operation with a versatile SPDT relay output. Its wide AC/DC supply range, extended cable and compact IP67 housing make it particularly useful for machine builders and automation engineers requiring dependable long-range object detection.

- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Long-range product presence detection.
- Counting and position monitoring systems.
- Automatic doors and access equipment.
- Warehouse and logistics automation.
- OEM machinery and industrial automation systems.
