Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi S142BPPT924 Photoelectric Amplifier?
The Carlo Gavazzi S142BPPT924 is a single-channel photoelectric sensor amplifier with adjustable timer functionality designed for use with compatible through-beam photoelectric sensor heads. Part of the established Carlo Gavazzi S142 Series, it combines sensor signal processing, adjustable sensing distance, diagnostic functions and PNP switching outputs in a compact industrial module.
The S142BPPT924 supports compatible through-beam sensor systems with sensing distances of up to 50 m. Adjustable sensitivity and alignment assistance simplify commissioning and help establish a reliable optical path, while diagnostic functionality, a test input and selectable light-on or dark-on operation provide additional flexibility for industrial automation applications.
Designed for a 24 V AC/DC nominal supply, the S142BPPT924 provides two PNP transistor outputs with a transistor load capability of up to 100 mA at 40 V DC. Its adjustable 0.1–10 s timer, 11-pole plug connection and compact 35 × 80 × 81.5 mm housing make it particularly suitable for control cabinets, machinery and automated production systems requiring timed photoelectric detection.

Reliable Timed Photoelectric Control for Industrial Automation
Through-beam photoelectric systems use separate transmitter and receiver sensor heads positioned across the detection area. An object is detected when it interrupts the optical path between them, allowing reliable non-contact sensing over considerably greater distances than many diffuse-reflection arrangements. The S142BPPT924 processes this sensor signal and converts it into PNP switching outputs for industrial control equipment.
The integrated adjustable timer extends the amplifier's functionality by allowing the switching response to be delayed according to the application. Combined with adjustable sensitivity, diagnostics, alignment assistance and a test input, this makes the S142BPPT924 suitable for automated machinery where both dependable long-range detection and controlled timing are required.
Typical Applications
- Long-range through-beam object detection.
- Industrial conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and production machinery.
- Timed product presence and position detection.
- Automatic doors and access-control equipment.
- Warehouse and logistics automation.
- Machine entry and exit monitoring.
- OEM machinery and industrial control systems.
