Telemecanique Sensors XS608B1NBL2 Proximity Sensor M8

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS608B1NBL2 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial control and automation applications. Built with an M8 stainless steel housing, it operates on 12 to 48 volts DC and delivers a detection distance of 0.1 inches (2.5 mm). Output is NPN normally closed (NC) through a 3-wire cable connection, with a response frequency of 2,500 Hz for fast-cycling detection tasks. Licensed electricians and industrial controls technicians are the typical installers for this class of sensor.

This sensor is suited for residential and light commercial machine control panels, conveyor systems, position detection fixtures, and other environments where reliable metallic target sensing is required. Its compact M8 body and shielded face allow flush mounting in tight installations. The IP67 ingress protection rating makes it appropriate for wet, dusty, or wash-down environments. The 3-wire cable output integrates directly with PLC input cards and relay control circuits operating in the 12 to 48 VDC range.

Key Features

• Shielded M8 cylindrical body allows flush panel or bracket mounting without interference from surrounding metal
• 0.1 inch (2.5 mm) detection distance with 2,500 Hz response frequency for high-cycle applications
• NPN normally closed (NC) output on 3-wire cable for direct PLC integration
• IP67-rated stainless steel housing resists moisture, dust, shock, and vibration
• Operating voltage range of 12 to 48 volts DC with up to 200 mA load capacity
• Rated for operating temperatures from -13 degrees F to 158 degrees F

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation inductive proximity sensor for industrial control systems accepting NPN NC 3-wire sensors with M8x1 threaded cylindrical bodies operating on 12 to 48 volts DC.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or controls technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and the equipment manufacturer guidelines. De-energize and lock out the control circuit before wiring or replacing the sensor. Verify PLC input card polarity and load current rating before connecting, and confirm the sensing face is flush-mounted or positioned per the manufacturer clearance specification to ensure reliable detection.
