Telemecanique Sensors XS612B1NAL2 Proximity Sensor M12

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS612B1NAL2 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for non-contact detection of metallic targets in industrial automation and control applications. Built with an M12 threaded brass housing, it delivers a detection distance of 0.16 inches (4 mm) and operates across a supply voltage range of 12 to 48 volts DC. The three-wire NPN output with normally open (NO) switching logic makes it straightforward to wire into standard PLC and control panel inputs. A response frequency of 2,500 Hz supports high-speed detection tasks. Licensed electricians and automation technicians are the primary installers of this sensor.

This sensor is suited for use in industrial machinery, conveyor systems, automated assembly lines, and process control equipment where reliable metal target detection is required. Its M12 x 1 threaded body allows flush panel or bracket mounting, and the IP68 and IP69K ingress protection ratings make it appropriate for wet, washdown, and high-pressure cleaning environments. The 200 mA maximum load capacity accommodates a wide range of control circuit loads in both light manufacturing and heavy industrial settings.

Key Features

• Shielded cylindrical M12 brass housing for flush mounting and EMI resistance
• Detection distance of 0.16 inches (4 mm) for precise short-range metallic target sensing
• IP68 and IP69K rated for submersion and high-pressure washdown environments
• NPN normally open output with 2,500 Hz response frequency for high-cycle applications
• Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction for harsh machine environments
• Wide supply voltage range of 12 to 48 volts DC for flexible installation

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inductive proximity sensor for use in industrial automation and control systems requiring an M12 shielded cylindrical NPN sensor with cable output.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or automation technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements and machine safety lockout/tagout procedures. De-energize all control circuits before wiring. Ensure the three-wire cable connections are routed away from high-voltage conductors to prevent signal interference. Do not exceed the 200 mA maximum load rating on the output circuit.
