Up to 50 m range 2 channels Manual sensitivity NPN / PNP outputs 0...15 s delay 8 / 16 ms multiplex

Key Features

Detection range up to 50 m in through-beam use.
Sensitivity adjustable by front potentiometers.
Basic transmit level selectable low / high.
Switching behaviour selectable light / dark.
Adjustable switching delay for each channel.
Two transistor outputs configurable for NPN / PNP wiring.

Best Fit Applications

Applications needing stable timing on beam break / restore events.
Conveyor or transport systems where nuisance switching must be filtered.
Harsh industrial detection with two independently delayed channels.
Compact OEM panels needing transistor outputs with timing control.

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 separate gain setting and on/off delay potentiometers for both channels.
LEDs indicate power, output status, and gain-control condition.
Amplifier mode switches set channel switching behaviour, basic transmit level, and multiplex speed.
The paired IMX-N34 uses the same delayed platform with relay outputs.
