PANTRONIMX-A2023DIN Rail / Panel

IMX-A2023

The IMX-A2023 is a 2-channel automatic multiplex amplifier with automatic transmit power adjustment, selectable basic power level, test function, and selectable light / dark switching. It is designed for harsh environments where beam contamination and changing conditions demand automatic compensation.

Key Features

Detection range up to 40 m in through-beam use.
Automatic transmit power adjustment for changing operating conditions.
Test function and automatic operating status indication.
Basic transmit level selectable in four steps: low1 / low2 / high1 / high2.
Switching behaviour selectable light / dark on both channels.
Transistor switching output platform for two channels.

Best Fit Applications

Harsh applications where lens contamination, ambient variation, or alignment drift can change signal strength.
Two-channel presence detection with automatic compensation.
OEM systems needing compact multiplex control with auto-adjusting infrared performance.
Installations that benefit from diagnostic displays and automatic operating indication.

Pantron's IMX platform is designed for long-range infrared detection in demanding industrial environments where conventional photoelectric sensing can struggle with contamination, distance, or multi-channel coordination.

Device Layout and Wiring Notes

Front indicators include automatic function display, alarm display, output status display, and power display.
The unit uses an 11-pole DIN plug and compact housing with front test/reset and adjust controls.
Selectable settings define basic transmit level and light / dark switching independently per channel.
This page covers the output-specific variant only; the shared platform is published together with its companion model in the catalog.
