ISG-A124

The ISG-A124 uses the same configurable sensing platform as the ISG-A123 but provides a change-over relay output. It combines automatic transmit power adjustment, selectable light / dark mode, selectable transmit frequency, 4-step transmit level selection, and a test input for system checks.

Up to 50 m range3.7 / 4.1 kHzTest input4-level transmit controlLight / DarkRelay change-over

Key Features

  • Automatic transmit power adjustment for harsh environments.
  • 4-step basic transmit level selection.
  • Light / dark switching selection.
  • Selectable transmit frequency at 3.7 kHz or 4.1 kHz.
  • Change-over relay output plus separate PNP alarm output.
  • Test input for system check and validation.

Best Fit Applications

  • Relay-interface systems that need broad setup flexibility.
  • Long-range through-beam detection in contamination-heavy industrial environments.
  • Installations where frequency selection helps avoid interference.
  • Machine retrofits using DIN-plug socket infrastructure.

This model was created from Pantron catalog pages 26-29 within the ISG-series automatic amplifier family. It shares the same through-beam range table and enclosure format as its paired companion model, ISG-A123.
