Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD35PKTI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD35PKTI is an industrial M30 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor with a 0–10 V analogue output and configurable PNP switching output, designed for continuous non-contact distance measurement, level monitoring and object detection. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD series, it combines analogue measurement and discrete switching functionality within one compact cylindrical sensor.
With a rated operating distance of 250–3500 mm and a resolution of 2 mm, the UA30CAD35PKTI provides proportional measurement feedback through its 0–10 V analogue output. The additional PNP output can be configured for NO or NC switching, providing flexible integration into PLCs, machine controls and automated process equipment.
The sensor operates from a 15–30 V DC supply and features teach-in configuration, temperature compensation and an industrial PBT housing with IP67 protection. This cable version is supplied with an integral 2 m PVC cable, making it suitable for permanent installations in machinery, material handling equipment and process-monitoring systems.

Reliable Analogue and Digital Ultrasonic Measurement
Ultrasonic sensing determines distance by transmitting high-frequency sound towards a target and evaluating the returning echo. Because measurement does not depend on visible light, this technology is particularly useful for detecting targets where colour, transparency or surface appearance can make conventional optical sensing difficult.
The UA30CAD35PKTI combines its 0–10 V analogue measurement output with a configurable PNP switching output, enabling both continuous measurement and discrete control from the same sensing point. Its teach-in functionality can be used to configure the measurement and switching behaviour for applications such as level measurement, distance monitoring, diameter measurement and loop control.
Typical Applications
- Continuous industrial distance measurement.
- Tank, hopper and container level monitoring.
- Material handling and conveyor systems.
- Object presence and position detection.
- Roll diameter measurement.
- Web and loop control systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- PLC-based analogue measurement and switching applications.
