Why Choose the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60PKTI Ultrasonic Sensor?
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60PKTI is a long-range M30 diffuse-reflective ultrasonic sensor designed for continuous distance measurement and object detection in industrial automation applications. Part of the Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD series, it combines a 0–10 V analogue output with a configurable PNP digital switching output, allowing measurement and discrete control functions to be provided by a single sensor.
The UA30CAD60PKTI provides a wide 350–6000 mm sensing range with a blind zone of up to 350 mm. Its ultrasonic operating principle measures targets using reflected sound waves, making it suitable for applications where target colour, contrast or optical appearance may vary.
Operating from a 15–30 V DC supply, this cable-connected version features a durable M30 PBT housing with Ø40 mm front and an integral 2 m cable. Teach-in configuration, IP67 protection and an operating temperature range of -20 to +70 °C make it a robust solution for industrial level, distance and position-monitoring applications.

Reliable Long-Range Ultrasonic Measurement
The Carlo Gavazzi UA30CAD60PKTI measures target distance by transmitting ultrasonic pulses and evaluating the returning echo. Because the sensing principle uses sound rather than visible light, it is suitable for detecting many materials where differences in colour, contrast or optical appearance could make conventional optical sensing more difficult.
Its 0–10 V analogue output supplies continuous distance information to compatible PLC analogue inputs and controllers, while the PNP digital output provides an additional switching signal. Teach-in functionality allows the sensor to be configured for the application, making it particularly useful where both continuous measurement and a discrete control point are required.
Typical Applications
- Tank, hopper and vessel level measurement.
- Continuous distance and position monitoring.
- Roll and reel diameter measurement.
- Loop and sag control applications.
- Packaging and material handling machinery.
- Conveyor and automated production systems.
- Industrial process-control applications.
- PLC systems requiring both 0–10 V measurement and PNP switching.
