Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PE12CNT15PO Through-Beam Photoelectric Receiver?
The Carlo Gavazzi PE12CNT15PO is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable presence and obstruction detection in automatic doors, gates and industrial automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PE12 photoelectric sensor series, it operates with a compatible through-beam emitter and provides a rated operating distance of up to 15 m.
The PE12CNT15PO uses 880 nm modulated infrared light and provides a PNP normally open (NO) output with light-switching operation. Its compact special-construction housing has a diameter of approximately 12 mm, making the sensor particularly useful where installation space is restricted.
Operating from a 10–30 V DC supply, the PE12CNT15PO is supplied with a 5 m cable for straightforward connection to control equipment. Its IP67 protection rating, polycarbonate housing and short-circuit, reverse-polarity and transient protection support dependable operation in demanding industrial and entrance-control environments.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Doors and Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses a separate emitter and receiver positioned opposite one another. The receiver monitors the infrared beam transmitted across the detection area and changes its output when the beam condition changes, providing dependable detection across relatively large openings.
The Carlo Gavazzi PE12CNT15PO combines this sensing principle with a compact housing, PNP output and industrial 10–30 V DC supply. Its long sensing distance and door-safety approvals make it particularly suitable for automatic entrance systems as well as industrial machinery requiring reliable through-beam presence detection.
Typical Applications
- Automatic door and gate systems.
- Industrial entrance and access-control equipment.
- Doorway presence and obstruction detection.
- Lift and entrance monitoring systems.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
- Long-range object and position detection.
