Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD35PGM1TI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD35PGM1TI is a versatile diffuse reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection and distance measurement in industrial automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD ultrasonic sensor series, it combines a rugged M30 plastic housing with a configurable PNP switching output and 4–20 mA analogue output.
This sensor provides a wide rated sensing range of 250–3500 mm, enabling detection and measurement of objects over distances of up to 3.5 m. Ultrasonic technology allows targets to be detected without relying on their colour, contrast or transparency, while integrated teach-in functionality enables the switching point and measurement range to be configured for the application.
With a 12–30 V DC supply, configurable PNP output, 4–20 mA analogue signal, M12 connector and IP67 protection, the UA30CAD35PGM1TI is ideal for level measurement, material handling, packaging equipment, production machinery and automated systems requiring both discrete switching and continuous distance information.

Reliable Ultrasonic Detection and Distance Measurement
Ultrasonic sensors detect targets by transmitting high-frequency acoustic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. This non-contact principle enables reliable detection of many materials and is particularly useful where variations in colour, optical contrast or transparency can make conventional photoelectric sensing difficult.
The UA30CAD35PGM1TI combines a configurable PNP switching output with a 4–20 mA analogue measurement signal, allowing one sensor to provide both presence detection and proportional distance information. Its wide measurement range and teach-in functionality make it particularly useful for level monitoring, positioning and automated material handling applications.
Typical Applications
- Tank, hopper and container level measurement.
- Industrial object and presence detection.
- Distance and position monitoring.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Detection of transparent or difficult-to-detect objects.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- PLC-based process measurement and control systems.
