PANTRONIMX-A2033DIN Rail / Panel

IMX-A2033

The IMX-A2033 adds adjustable switching delay to Pantron's automatic 2-channel multiplex platform. It combines automatic transmit power adjustment, test function, selectable light / dark switching, and per-channel operating control for difficult industrial sensing tasks.

Key Features

Detection range up to 40 m in through-beam use.
Automatic transmit power adjustment for changing operating conditions.
Selectable switching delay from 0 to 10 seconds.
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

Applications that need automatic compensation plus timing delay on beam transitions.
Two-channel detection in contaminated or variable environments.
OEM systems requiring compact multiplex control with automatic alignment margin management.
Installations where nuisance switching must be filtered by adjustable on/off timing.

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 controls include automatic adjustment indication, output status display, and dedicated switching-delay potentiometers.
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.
