PANTRONIMX-N440DIN Rail / Panel

IMX-N440

The IMX-N440 uses the same 4-channel manual multiplex platform as the IMX-N430, but with relay outputs. It adds primary/secondary operation, selectable light curtain mode, and adjustable switching delay for channel 1.

Up to 40 m range 4 channels Manual sensitivity Relay outputs Primary/Secondary Light curtain mode

Key Features

Detection range up to 40 m in through-beam use.
Sensitivity adjustable for each channel with individual potentiometers.
Basic transmit level selectable low / high.
Switching behaviour selectable light / dark.
Selectable multiplex speed and light curtain mode.
Primary/Secondary operation for expanded systems.

Best Fit Applications

Four-beam relay-based detection systems and machine monitoring.
Light curtain style non-safety sensing across wider machine openings.
Harsh environments needing multiple contamination-resistant infrared channels.
Retrofit panels preferring relay outputs for multi-channel beam 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 LEDs provide power, output status, light-curtain indication, secondary indication, and intensity display.
Each channel has its own gain potentiometer, while delay is set by dedicated front controls.
DIP-switches set switching behaviour, basic transmit level, multiplex speed, and light curtain mode.
The same 4-channel platform is available as IMX-N430 with transistor outputs.
