Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PE12CNT15POC2 Through-Beam Photoelectric Receiver?
The Carlo Gavazzi PE12CNT15POC2 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 to provide dependable optical detection across openings and controlled access points.
The PE12CNT15POC2 provides a PNP normally open (NO) transistor output, allowing straightforward connection to compatible PLC inputs, door controllers and industrial control equipment. Its compact approximately 12 mm diameter housing makes the PE12 platform particularly useful for applications where available mounting space is restricted.
Designed for a rated operating distance of up to 15 m, the PE12CNT15POC2 combines long-range through-beam detection with a 10–30 V DC operating supply. The C2 connection variant provides a detachable connector arrangement, supporting convenient installation and servicing in machinery and entrance-control systems.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Doors and Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses a separate emitter and receiver positioned on opposite sides of the detection area. The receiver monitors the infrared beam transmitted by the emitter, enabling the connected control system to recognise when a person, object or component interrupts the optical path.
The Carlo Gavazzi PE12 series combines this dependable sensing principle with a particularly compact housing. The PE12CNT15POC2 adds a PNP normally open electronic output and detachable connection, making it suitable for modern control systems where compact installation, convenient servicing and reliable long-range detection are required.
Typical Applications
- Automatic door and gate systems.
- Lift and entrance-control equipment.
- Doorway presence and obstruction detection.
- Industrial access-control systems.
- Packaging and material-handling machinery.
- Long-range object and position detection.
