Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60NKTI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60NKTI 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 a robust M30 PBT housing with an NPN digital switching output and 0–10 V analogue output.
This sensor provides a 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 technology enables targets to be detected without relying primarily on their colour or optical contrast, while integrated teach-in functionality allows the operating points to be configured for the application.
With a 15–30 V DC supply, configurable NPN NO/NC switching output, 0–10 V analogue output and a 2 m fixed cable, the UA30CAD60NKTI provides both discrete detection and proportional distance information. Its IP67-rated construction makes it well suited to level monitoring, material handling, packaging machinery and automated production systems.

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 a wide range of industrial applications, including situations where variations in target colour or optical contrast can make conventional optical sensing difficult.
The UA30CAD60NKTI combines an 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 sensing range, teach-in configuration and fixed cable connection make it particularly suitable for level measurement, positioning, material handling and automated process control.
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.
