Telemecanique Sensors XS612B1PBL2 Proximity Sensor M12

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XS612B1PBL2 is a shielded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial detection applications. It operates on 12 to 48 volts DC and provides a detection distance of 0.16 inches (4 mm) with a PNP, normally closed output across 3 wires. The M12 threaded brass housing measures 2.09 inches in overall length and carries an IP68 and IP69K ingress protection rating, making it suitable for wet, washdown, and high-pressure cleaning environments. Licensed electricians and industrial maintenance technicians typically install this sensor in automated machinery, conveyor systems, and position-detection circuits.

This sensor is suited for use in manufacturing, material handling, and process automation environments where reliable non-contact metal detection is required. Its shielded cylinder body allows flush mounting in metal brackets without sacrificing sensing range. The M12x1 threaded housing makes it a direct fit into standard sensor mounting blocks and brackets common in both light and heavy industrial installations. The cable-type connector integrates directly into control panel wiring without an intermediate connector body.

Key Features

• Detection distance of 0.16 inches (4 mm) with shielded cylinder body for flush-mount installation
• PNP, normally closed output across 3 wires for compatibility with standard PLC input modules
• 12 to 48 volts DC operating range with a maximum load capacity of 200 mA
• High response frequency of 2,500 Hz for fast-moving target detection
• IP68 and IP69K rated brass housing resists immersion and high-pressure washdown
• Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction rated to IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6
• Certified to CE, CSA, UL, and RoHS requirements with DIN 40050 and IEC 60529 compliance

Compatibility

Designed as a standard M12x1 threaded cylindrical inductive proximity sensor for use in industrial automation and control systems requiring a PNP normally closed 3-wire DC sensor with flush-mount shielded installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or industrial controls technician. De-energize and lock out the circuit before wiring. The 3-wire cable should be routed away from high-voltage lines to prevent signal interference. Verify PLC or controller input module compatibility with PNP normally closed logic before commissioning.
