Compatibility and replacement
Order with the complete Panasonic part number CX-483; suffixes such as -P (PNP output), -C5 (5 m cable), -J (connector) or -R (rear sensing) change the version, so check the label of the old part.
The values in the table come from the official Panasonic Industry product data; if your old unit shows different values, send us a photo of its label and we will check it.
What to check first
- Sensing mode (thru-beam, retroreflective, diffuse)
- Sensing range
- NPN or PNP output
