Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60NKM1TI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60NKM1TI is a long-range diffuse reflective ultrasonic proximity sensor designed for reliable non-contact object detection and distance measurement in industrial automation systems. As part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD ultrasonic sensor series, it combines an M30 PBT housing with an NPN digital switching output and 0–10 V analogue output.
This sensor provides an adjustable sensing range of 350–6000 mm with a blind zone of up to 350 mm, making it suitable for applications requiring detection or measurement over distances of up to 6 m. Ultrasonic sensing enables dependable operation without relying primarily on the target's colour or optical contrast, while integrated teach-in functionality simplifies configuration of the required sensing points.
With a 15–30 V DC supply, configurable NPN NO/NC switching output, 0–10 V analogue output, M12 connector and IP67 protection, the UA30CAD60NKM1TI provides both discrete detection and proportional distance information for machinery, level monitoring, material handling and automated process applications.

Reliable Long-Range Ultrasonic Detection and Measurement
Ultrasonic sensors detect targets by transmitting high-frequency acoustic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. This non-contact sensing principle provides dependable object detection and distance measurement across many industrial applications, including situations where target colour, contrast or visual appearance can make conventional optical sensing difficult.
The UA30CAD60NKM1TI combines an adjustable NPN switching output with a 0–10 V analogue measurement signal, enabling a single sensor to provide both discrete presence information and proportional distance data. Its long 6 m maximum sensing distance, teach-in functionality and industrial M12 connection make it particularly suitable for level measurement, positioning and automated material handling systems.
Typical Applications
- Tank, hopper and container level monitoring.
- Long-range industrial object detection.
- Distance and position measurement.
- Conveyor and material handling systems.
- Packaging and processing machinery.
- Detection applications where target colour or optical contrast varies.
- Automated production and assembly equipment.
- PLC-based process measurement and control systems.
