Built around an M18 threaded brass housing, this 2-wire sensor operates across a wide supply voltage range of 24 to 240 volts AC or DC, making it compatible with a broad range of control circuits without additional signal conditioning. It delivers a normally open (NO) output with a detection distance of 0.31 inches (8 mm) and a response frequency of 1,000 Hz, supporting high-cycle-rate machine environments. Rated IP68 and IP69K, the sensor withstands washdown, submersion, and high-pressure cleaning common in demanding industrial settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis sensor is used in discrete manufacturing, conveyor systems, packaging machinery, machine tool applications, and process automation where reliable metallic target detection is required. Its 2-wire wiring scheme simplifies integration into existing control panel wiring. The wide AC\/DC voltage range makes it suitable for both legacy relay-based systems and modern PLC input modules. The shielded flush-mount design allows installation in tight clearances or flush-mounted in metal brackets without sacrificing detection performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDetection distance of 0.31 inches (8 mm) for consistent non-contact metallic target sensing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide operating voltage range: 24 to 240 volts AC\/DC supports diverse control systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNormally open (NO) 2-wire output with up to 300 mA load capacity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP68 and IP69K ingress protection ratings for submersion and high-pressure washdown environments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction for high-cycle industrial machinery\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResponse frequency of 1,000 Hz for high-speed detection applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM18x1 threaded brass housing for standard panel and bracket mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style inductive proximity sensor for industrial control and automation systems requiring an M18 cylinder shielded 2-wire sensor with a 24 to 240 volt AC\/DC input range and normally open output.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a qualified electrician or industrial controls technician in accordance with NEC guidelines and the equipment manufacturer's wiring specifications. De-energize the control circuit and verify zero voltage before making or breaking any wiring connections. The M18x1 threaded body mounts using standard hex nuts or a panel bracket; avoid over-tightening against the brass housing. Confirm that the target material and approach angle are consistent with inductive sensor operating requirements before commissioning.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Inductive\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cylinder Shielded\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Mode\u003c\/strong\u003e: Normally Open (NO)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2-Wire\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetection Distance\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.31 inches (8 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage\u003c\/strong\u003e: 24 to 240 volts AC\/DC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum Load Capacity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 300 mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResponse Frequency\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Head Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThread Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: M18x1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 2.44 inches (62 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHousing Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIngress Protection Rating\u003c\/strong\u003e: IP68, IP69K\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMinimum Operating Temperature\u003c\/strong\u003e: -13 degrees F\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eResistance Features\u003c\/strong\u003e: Shock-Resistant, Vibration-Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStandards\u003c\/strong\u003e: CE Listed, CSA Certified, DIN 40050, IEC 60068-2-27, IEC 60068-2-6, IEC 60529, RoHS Compliant, UL Listed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Weight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.27 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: XS618B1MAL2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"SCHNEIDER ELECTRIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51695439741234,"sku":"XS618B1MAL2","price":166.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/8d5524eb679785388438303fbaeed90a.jpg?v=1788335016","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/telemecanique-sensors-xs618b1mal2-proximity-sensor-m18","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
