Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PB10C1T20PO Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PB10C1T20PO is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable object detection in industrial automation and powered-door applications. Configured as a Code 1 / Channel 1 receiver, it provides a long 20 m sensing range when used with the corresponding through-beam transmitter.
The PB10C1T20PO features a PNP normally open (NO) output with light switching and operates from a 10–30 V DC supply. Its infrared optical system provides dependable beam-interruption detection, while the slim Ø10 mm smooth cylindrical housing enables installation where mounting space is restricted.
Supplied with an integral 5 m cable, the PB10C1T20PO combines compact dimensions with IP67 protection and a maximum output current of 100 mA. It is also specified as ESPE Type 2 and is suitable for applications associated with EN 12445, EN 12453, EN 12978 and UL 325.

Reliable Long-Range Through-Beam Detection for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses separate transmitter and receiver units positioned opposite one another. The corresponding transmitter directs an infrared beam towards the PB10C1T20PO receiver, and interruption of that beam changes the receiver output. This arrangement provides reliable detection without depending on light being reflected from the target itself.
The PB10C1T20PO combines a 20 m range with a slim 10 mm housing, making it suitable for installations requiring both long-range detection and compact sensor dimensions. Its PNP normally open output, 5 m cable and IP67 construction support straightforward integration into industrial control and powered-door systems.
Typical Applications
- Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Long-range object presence detection.
- Product counting and position monitoring.
- Automated doors, gates and access systems.
- Machine sequencing and production equipment.
- Applications requiring compact through-beam sensors in restricted mounting spaces.
