Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD35PGTI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD35PGTI 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 PBT housing with a PNP switching output and 4–20 mA analogue output.
This sensor provides a wide sensing range of 250–3500 mm, allowing objects and surfaces to be monitored at distances of up to 3.5 m. Ultrasonic sensing enables reliable detection without depending primarily on the target's colour or optical contrast, while integrated teach-in functionality provides convenient configuration for the required application.
With a 12–30 V DC supply, PNP NO/NC switching output, 4–20 mA analogue output and a 2 m pre-wired cable, the UA30CAD35PGTI provides both discrete switching and continuous measurement capabilities. Its IP67-rated M30 construction makes it suitable for industrial machinery, level monitoring, material handling and automated production equipment.

Reliable Ultrasonic Detection and Distance Measurement
Ultrasonic sensors detect targets by transmitting high-frequency acoustic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. This non-contact sensing principle enables dependable object detection and distance measurement across many industrial applications, including situations involving transparent objects or targets whose colour and optical characteristics can make conventional optical sensing difficult.
The UA30CAD35PGTI combines a PNP switching output with a 4–20 mA analogue measurement signal, enabling one sensor to provide both discrete presence information and proportional distance data. Its wide sensing range, teach-in configuration and pre-wired cable make it particularly suitable for machine automation, positioning and level-monitoring applications.
Typical Applications
- Tank, hopper and container level monitoring.
- Industrial object and presence detection.
- Distance and position measurement.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Detection of transparent and difficult-to-detect objects.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- PLC-based process measurement and control systems.
