Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD98CNT30QMU320 Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD98CNT30QMU320 is a robust through-beam photoelectric sensor set designed for reliable presence and obstruction detection in door-control and industrial automation applications. Based on the Carlo Gavazzi PD98 series, the system uses separate emitter and receiver units to provide dependable long-range optical detection.
The PD98 platform uses modulated infrared light and provides a change-over relay output (NO/NC), allowing straightforward integration with door controllers, safety-related control equipment and automation systems. The separate transmitter and receiver arrangement provides a strong optical sensing principle for applications requiring dependable detection across relatively large openings.
With a sensing distance of up to 30 m, 12–24 V AC/DC supply and screw-terminal electrical connections, the PD98CNT30QMU320 is particularly suited to industrial and automatic door installations. Its compact plastic enclosure enables convenient surface mounting, while infrared operation and integrated output indication support reliable commissioning and operation.

Reliable Long-Range Detection for Door and Automation Systems
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses a dedicated emitter positioned opposite a receiver. An object is detected when it interrupts the optical beam between the two devices, providing a reliable sensing method for wide openings and applications where long detection distances are required.
The Carlo Gavazzi PD98 series was developed particularly for domestic and industrial door-control applications. The PD98CNT30QMU320 combines long-range infrared detection with a versatile relay output and AC/DC supply capability, allowing straightforward integration into automatic doors, gates and industrial control systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automatic doors.
- Garage door control systems.
- Doorway obstruction and presence detection.
- Automatic gates and access-control equipment.
- Industrial entrances and loading areas.
- Long-range object detection in automation systems.
