Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD70CNT12ML Through-Beam Photoelectric Emitter?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD70CNT12ML is a compact through-beam photoelectric emitter designed for reliable presence detection and safety-related monitoring applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD70 series, it operates with a corresponding PD70 receiver to provide a sensing range of up to 12 m, making it suitable for industrial doors, gates and automated machinery.
The PD70CNT12ML uses a modulated 850 nm infrared LED and provides a wide ±5° optical angle while maintaining reliable operation across its rated sensing distance. This model features a Mute Low emitter input and is designed as an ESPE Type 2 device for applications requiring dependable photoelectric monitoring.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the PD70CNT12ML is supplied with a 5 m fixed cable and features an IP67-rated compact polycarbonate housing. Its narrow 11.5 × 11.5 × 70 mm format, green power indication and robust industrial construction make it particularly suitable for installation in confined profiles and door or gate systems.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Doors and Automation
Through-beam photoelectric systems use separate emitter and receiver units positioned opposite each other. The emitter continuously transmits an optical beam towards the receiver, allowing the system to detect when a person or object interrupts the beam. This arrangement provides long sensing distances and dependable detection across entrances, machine openings and automated access points.
The Carlo Gavazzi PD70 series is particularly suited to industrial door and gate applications, combining a slim housing with a long 12 m operating range. The PD70CNT12ML provides the infrared transmitting element of the system and incorporates the Mute Low function required for compatible installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automatic doors and gates.
- Garage and access-control door systems.
- Doorway presence and obstruction detection.
- Industrial machine openings and access points.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Automated entrance and closing systems.
- OEM machinery requiring long-range through-beam detection.
