Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi S142ANNT230 Photoelectric Amplifier?
The Carlo Gavazzi S142ANNT230 is a single-channel photoelectric sensor amplifier designed for use with compatible through-beam photoelectric sensors in industrial automation and machine control systems. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi S142 Series, it provides reliable signal processing, adjustable sensitivity and diagnostic functionality for demanding object and presence detection applications.
The S142ANNT230 supports compatible through-beam sensor heads with sensing distances of up to 50 m. It provides two NPN outputs with selectable light-on and dark-on operating modes, enabling straightforward integration with PLCs and other industrial control equipment. Adjustable sensitivity, diagnostic functions and alignment assistance help simplify sensor commissioning and optimise detection reliability.
Designed for a nominal 230 V AC supply, the S142ANNT230 operates across a 195–265 V AC supply range. Its compact 35 × 80 × 81.5 mm housing, 11-pole plug arrangement and socket-mounted format provide a practical installation solution for control cabinets and automated machinery.

Reliable Photoelectric Signal Processing for Industrial Automation
Photoelectric amplifier systems separate the optical sensing heads from the signal-processing electronics. With a through-beam arrangement, a transmitter projects light towards a receiver and an object is detected when it interrupts the optical path. This configuration provides reliable detection over considerably longer distances than many self-contained diffuse-reflection sensing arrangements.
The Carlo Gavazzi S142ANNT230 processes the sensor signal and provides dual NPN switching outputs for industrial automation equipment. Its adjustable sensitivity, light-on or dark-on operation, diagnostic functionality and alignment assistance make it particularly useful where reliable commissioning and ongoing monitoring of a long-range photoelectric sensing system are required.
Typical Applications
- Long-range through-beam object detection.
- Industrial conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Automatic doors, gates and access equipment.
- Product counting and presence detection.
- Warehouse and logistics automation.
- Machine entry and exit monitoring.
- OEM machinery and industrial control systems.
