Lanbao PSE-TM20 DC Through-Beam Photoelectric Sensor
Lanbao PSE-TM20 Series is a compact little-square through-beam photoelectric sensor for DC automation systems that need longer sensing distance in a small sensor body. It uses a separate emitter and receiver across the detection path, helping deliver stable beam-interruption detection with less dependence on target color, reflectivity, or surface finish.
This listing covers PSE-TM20DNB, PSE-TM20DPB, and their E3 M8 connector versions. The series supports 20m through-beam sensing, NPN or PNP receiver output, NO/NC output logic, 10-30V DC supply, IP67 protection, and either a 2m PVC cable or M8 4-pin connector depending on the selected variant.

Integration Notes & Hardware Guidance
- Beam alignment: Through-beam sensing requires the emitter and receiver to be aligned across the detection path before commissioning.
- Output selection: Choose DNB variants for NPN receiver output or DPB variants for PNP receiver output, matching the controller input type.
- Connection selection: Choose fixed 2m cable versions for direct wiring or E3 M8 connector versions when detachable wiring and easier replacement are preferred.
- Distance setup: Confirm the 20m sensing path, stable indicator behavior, and receiver switching state after installation.
- Installation check: Verify optical-axis alignment, mounting rigidity, beam path clearance, and receiver output behavior before final use.

FAQ
What detection mode does the PSE-TM20 Series use?
It uses through-beam detection, with a separate emitter and receiver mounted opposite each other.
What sensing distance does this series support?
The official rated sensing distance reference is 20m.
How do I choose between DNB and DPB variants?
Choose DNB variants for NPN receiver output or DPB variants for PNP receiver output, depending on your controller input wiring.
How do I choose between cable and E3 versions?
Cable versions use a fixed 2m PVC cable, while E3 versions use an M8 4-pin connector for detachable wiring and easier sensor replacement.
Does this sensor require a reflector?
No. Through-beam sensing uses a separate emitter and receiver pair, so it does not require a reflector.
