Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PD140FNT60QMU-02C Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PD140FNT60QMU-02C is a robust through-beam photoelectric sensor set comprising a matched emitter and receiver for reliable long-range object detection in industrial automation, door control and access applications. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PD140 series, it combines a substantial 60 m sensing range with modulated infrared technology and a durable aluminium rectangular housing.
The sensor uses a separate emitter and receiver positioned opposite each other, creating a photoelectric beam across the monitored area. Interruption of this beam provides reliable object detection, while the receiver's SPDT relay output with NO and NC contacts enables straightforward integration with industrial controllers, relays and control circuits.
With a rated 12–24 V AC/DC supply, 850 nm infrared light and selectable light/dark switching, the PD140FNT60QMU-02C provides flexible operation across demanding installations. Both sensor units use screw-terminal connections, and the 51 × 46 × 140 mm aluminium housings provide a rugged platform for industrial use.

Reliable Long-Range Through-Beam Detection
Through-beam photoelectric sensing uses separate transmitter and receiver units mounted on opposite sides of the detection area. The emitter generates an infrared beam towards the receiver, and an object is detected when it interrupts that beam. This arrangement provides excellent sensing distance and dependable detection for large openings, access points and industrial machinery.
The Carlo Gavazzi PD140 series is designed for applications requiring robust long-range photoelectric detection. The PD140FNT60QMU-02C combines its 60 m sensing capability with relay switching, AC/DC supply compatibility and an aluminium enclosure, providing a versatile sensing solution for industrial and access-control installations.
Typical Applications
- Industrial door and gate monitoring systems.
- Long-range conveyor object detection.
- Warehouse and material handling systems.
- Access and entrance control applications.
- Large machinery and production-line monitoring.
- Object presence detection across wide openings.
- Industrial automation and process-control systems.
