ISM-153x amplifier series
PANTRONISM-1530 / ISM-1535DIN Rail

ISM-153x

1-channel amplifier series with selectable light / dark mode and adjustable switching delay. The ISM-153x family builds on the configurable ISM platform with selectable light / dark switching, two basic transmit levels, and an adjustable switching-on / switching-off delay. Both models are designed for DIN-rail installation in harsh industrial environments; the ISM-1530 uses a floating relay output and the ISM-1535 uses a floating semiconductor relay output.

Up to 70 m range24 VAC / VDC0 ... 10 s delayHigh / low transmit levelLight / dark selectable

Key Features

  • Detection range up to 70 m, depending on selected transmitter / receiver pair.
  • Sensitivity adjustable with front potentiometer.
  • Basic transmit level switchable between low and high.
  • Switching behaviour selectable between light and dark.
  • Adjustable switching-on and switching-off delay from 0 to 10 s.
  • Floating distance switching output; relay on ISM-1530 and semiconductor relay on ISM-1535.

Best Fit Applications

  • Industrial sensing tasks that benefit from delay filtering to prevent nuisance switching.
  • Long-range optical detection in dirty, wet, or contamination-heavy environments.
  • Material handling and access control applications with configurable output behavior.
  • Retrofits where relay or semiconductor relay output choice is required in the same device family.

This page consolidates the grouped models shown together so the shared electrical and optical platform can be reviewed in one place.
