P10 Sensor

The P10 family is a compact transmitter and receiver platform designed for Pantron infrared photoelectric systems in installations where space is limited but dependable signal performance is essential. The round 10 mm plastic housing is resistant to petrol, oil, and many solvents, while the receiver design incorporates a built-in preamplifier and daylight compensation to support stable detection in challenging environments.

Series Overview

The P10 range includes transmitter and receiver heads for use with Pantron amplifier families, excluding ISL. Each active channel requires one transmitter and one receiver. Transmitters are available in standard, high-power, and ITA versions, while receiver variants are offered with either cable or M8 plug connection to support flexible machine integration.

The combination of broad application compatibility, compact construction, and strong resistance to dirt makes the P10 family a practical choice for packaging systems, harsh industrial automation, wash environments, and other installations where conventional sensor heads are more difficult to protect.

Highlights

  • Round plastic sensor head housing with 10 mm diameter.
  • Available as standard, high-power, and ITA transmitter variants.
  • Receiver with built-in preamplifier and daylight compensation.
  • 2-pin PVC cable or 3-pin circular M8 plug connection options.
  • Resistant to petrol, oil, and many industrial solvents.
  • Suitable for all Pantron amplifier series except ISL.
