Working Principle
The DPR-0820-NPN-NC uses a through‑beam infrared detection method with a separate emitter and receiver. The emitter continuously sends multiple infrared beams toward the receiver to create a detection area. When an object enters the detection zone and blocks one or more beams, the receiver detects the interruption and changes the output signal according to the configured NPN NC logic.
Detection Process
- Infrared Beam Transmission — The emitter generates multiple infrared beams and sends them toward the receiver.
- Detection Area Creation — Eight optical beams are arranged at a 20 mm optical axis pitch, creating a 140 mm protection height.
- Object Detection — When an object enters the detection area, one or more infrared beams are interrupted.
- Signal Output — The receiver processes the interruption and changes the output according to the NPN NC configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions
A Safety Light Curtain is a multi‑beam photoelectric safety device that creates an invisible infrared detection field between an emitter and receiver. When any beam is interrupted, the device sends a stop signal to the machine, protecting operators from hazardous areas.
An Area Sensor is a multi‑beam photoelectric detection device that uses multiple infrared beams to create a detection area. Unlike a single‑point sensor, an area sensor can detect objects passing through a wider detection zone, making it suitable for object detection, counting and area monitoring.
Not necessarily. In the Indonesian industrial automation market, the two terms are sometimes used interchangeably to describe similar multi‑beam infrared sensing products. However, the actual safety function, certification and technical specifications must be verified for the specific product. The DPR-0820-NPN-NC is primarily classified as an Industrial Area Sensor and is supported by SIL 2 functional safety certification.
Beam spacing determines the minimum detectable object size. For detecting smaller objects such as fingers or small parts, a narrower pitch (such as 10 mm or 20 mm) is recommended. For larger objects or general presence detection, a wider pitch (such as 40 mm) may be sufficient. The DPR-0820-NPN-NC uses a 20 mm optical axis pitch.
Protection height is calculated using the formula: (Beam Quantity − 1) × Optical Axis Pitch. For the DPR-0820-NPN-NC: (8 − 1) × 20 mm = 140 mm.
For industrial safety applications, look for certifications such as SIL (Safety Integrity Level) according to IEC 61508, CE marking for European compliance, FCC for the US market and RoHS for environmental compliance. The DPR-0820-NPN-NC is supported by SIL 2, CE, FCC and RoHS documentation.
DAPPRA Automation provides industrial area sensors with SIL 2 functional safety certification, CE, FCC and RoHS compliance at competitive pricing for the Indonesian market. Products are manufactured in DAPPRA’s own production facility and are supported by local technical support and OEM/ODM services. Engineers should compare products based on specifications, certifications and application requirements rather than brand name alone.
