Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi PMR10RGT Retro-Reflective Photoelectric Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi PMR10RGT is an industrial retro-reflective photoelectric sensor with adjustable timer functionality, designed for reliable non-contact object detection in automation and machine-control applications. Its 10 m rated operating distance makes it well suited to conveyors, packaging machinery, material-handling equipment and automatic systems requiring dependable long-range detection.
The PMR10RGT uses 880 nm modulated infrared light and operates with a suitable retro-reflector positioned opposite the sensor. It supports light-on and dark-on switching, allowing the sensing response to be configured according to the requirements of the application.
A wide-range 10.8–264 V DC / 21.6–264 V AC supply enables the PMR10RGT to integrate into a broad range of industrial electrical systems. Its SPDT change-over relay output provides NO and NC contact functions, while the integrated adjustable timer, screw-terminal connection and IP67 rectangular housing provide a versatile solution for demanding machinery.

Reliable Timed Retro-Reflective Detection for Industrial Machinery
Retro-reflective sensing places the optical transmitter and receiver in the same sensor housing and uses a reflector on the opposite side of the detection path. When an object interrupts the returned infrared beam, the PMR10RGT changes the state of its SPDT relay contact, providing reliable non-contact detection while requiring electrical wiring on only one side of the installation.
The integrated timer adds flexibility for processes where an immediate output change is not desirable. Combined with selectable light/dark operation, a wide AC/DC supply range and a 10 m sensing distance, the Carlo Gavazzi PMR10RGT is particularly useful for industrial control systems requiring reliable detection and configurable timing from a single sensor.
Typical Applications
- Conveyor object and package detection.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Material-handling and logistics systems.
- Automatic doors and access equipment.
- Timed product detection sequences.
- Component presence and position monitoring.
- Assembly and manufacturing equipment.
- PLC, relay and contactor-based industrial control systems.
