PANTRONIMX-N830DIN Rail / Panel

IMX-N830

The IMX-N830 is an 8-channel manual multiplex amplifier for wide multi-beam installations. It combines manual sensitivity adjustment, selectable light / dark mode, primary/secondary operation, and transistor outputs across eight channels.

Up to 40 m range 8 channels Manual sensitivity NPN / PNP outputs Primary/Secondary Light curtain mode

Key Features

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

Best Fit Applications

Large multi-beam detection zones across conveyors or machine access points.
Light curtain style non-safety monitoring with many parallel beams.
Harsh industrial processes where contamination-resistant infrared sensing is needed over many channels.
OEM equipment requiring high channel density with transistor outputs.

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 show output status for all eight channels plus power, secondary mode, and light curtain mode.
Each channel has its own gain potentiometer; additional controls set switching delay and amplifier mode.
DIP-switches control switching behaviour, basic transmit level, multiplex speed, and light curtain settings.
The IMX-N840 is the relay-output companion on the same 8-channel manual platform.
