Working Principle
The DPR-2440-NPN-NC uses Multiple Parallel Beam Through-Beam Detection Technology. When an object or person enters the sensing field and interrupts one or more optical beams, the receiver detects the interruption and changes the output according to the configured NPN NC logic.
24-Beam Detection Configuration
The protection height is determined by the beam arrangement: (24 − 1) × 40 mm = 920 mm. The 1006 mm dimension represents the complete sensor height.
Model Number Explanation
| Model Code | Meaning | Description |
|---|---|---|
| DPR | Product Series | DAPPRA DPR Industrial Area Sensor Series |
| 24 | Beam Quantity | 24 optical beams |
| 40 | Optical Axis Pitch | 40 mm beam spacing |
| NPN | Output Type | NPN transistor output |
| NC | Signal Logic | Normally Closed |
NPN NC Output & Wiring
The DPR-2440-NPN-NC uses an NPN transistor output with Normally Closed (NC) signal logic. For the specified NC configuration, normal beam transmission produces a 0V output and beam interruption results in no output.

The number of beams depends on the required protection height and the optical axis pitch. More beams provide a taller protection field. The DPR-2440-NPN-NC uses 24 beams with a 40 mm pitch, providing a 920 mm protection height suitable for large machine openings and monitored areas.
Beam spacing should be selected based on the smallest object or body part that must be detected: 10 mm for finger/hand detection, 20 mm for hand detection, and 40 mm for body/arm detection and area sensing. The DPR-2440-NPN-NC uses a 40 mm optical axis pitch, suitable for body detection and general area sensing.
The sensing distance must match the physical distance between the transmitter and receiver. The DPR-2440-NPN-NC supports a detection distance of 0.2–3 m, providing flexibility for most industrial installations.
The protection height should cover the full machine opening that must be monitored. The DPR-2440-NPN-NC provides a 920 mm protection height with a 1006 mm total height, suitable for large machine openings and access points.
NPN (sinking) output switches the load to 0V when active, while PNP (sourcing) output switches the load to +24V. The choice depends on your PLC input type. The DPR-2440-NPN-NC uses an NPN output, suitable for NPN PLC inputs.
