Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PE12CNT15PCC2 Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PE12CNT15PCC2 is a compact through-beam photoelectric receiver designed for reliable non-contact detection in elevators, escalators, automatic doors, access-control systems and industrial automation equipment. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi PE12 photoelectric sensor series, it uses a compact Ø12 mm snap-on housing suited to applications where installation space is limited.
The PE12CNT15PCC2 operates as the receiver in a separate emitter-and-receiver sensing system and provides a sensing range of up to 15 m. It detects modulated infrared light and provides a PNP normally closed (NC) output with dark-switching operation, allowing straightforward integration with compatible industrial control circuits.
With a 10–30 V DC supply, IP67 protection and a 5 m cable with connector, the PE12CNT15PCC2 combines flexible installation with dependable industrial performance. Its through-beam operating principle makes it particularly suitable for long-range presence and passage detection where reliable beam interruption sensing is required.

Reliable Through-Beam Detection for Doors and Automation
Through-beam photoelectric systems use separate emitter and receiver units positioned opposite one another. The emitter projects a modulated infrared beam towards the receiver, and an object passing through the beam changes the receiver output state. This arrangement provides dependable long-range detection for applications where accurate monitoring of an opening or passage is required.
The Carlo Gavazzi PE12 series combines through-beam sensing with a compact snap-on format developed for applications such as elevators, escalators and automatic entrances. The PE12CNT15PCC2 adds a PNP NC output and cable-with-connector arrangement, providing a convenient solution for installation and servicing in modern access-control and automation systems.
Typical Applications
- Elevator and lift door detection systems.
- Escalator monitoring applications.
- Automatic doors and entrance-control systems.
- Industrial gates and access systems.
- Long-range object and passage detection.
- Industrial machinery and automation equipment.
