Telemecanique Sensors XUB5BNANL2 Photoelectric Sensor

Product Description

The TELEMECANIQUE SENSORS XUB5BNANL2 is a diffused photoelectric sensor with a 0.6-meter nominal sensing distance, designed for reliable object detection in industrial and light commercial automation environments. The cylindrical body is constructed from nickel-plated brass and carries IP65 and IP67 ingress protection ratings, making it suitable for wet, dusty, or washdown-prone locations. The sensor operates on 12 to 24 volts DC and delivers an NPN output signal at switching frequencies up to 500 Hz. Connection is made via a 2.0-meter cable. Licensed electricians and automation technicians are the typical installers for this class of sensor.

This sensor fits inline machine guarding, conveyor presence detection, parts counting, and similar discrete-automation applications where a compact cylindrical form factor is required. The diffused sensing mode eliminates the need for a separate reflector or receiver, simplifying mounting. The shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction suits installations on vibrating machinery, production lines, and mobile equipment where standard sensors may fail prematurely. Operating temperature range spans -13 degrees F to 131 degrees F, covering most indoor industrial environments.

Key Features

• Diffused sensing mode with 0.6-meter nominal detection distance — no separate reflector required
• NPN output circuit compatible with standard PLC discrete input cards
• Nickel-plated brass cylindrical housing rated IP65 and IP67 for dust and water ingress protection
• 500 Hz switching frequency supports high-speed counting and detection applications
• Shock-resistant and vibration-resistant construction per IEC 60068-2-27 and IEC 60068-2-6
• Pre-wired with a 2.0-meter cable for direct panel or junction box termination

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install cylindrical diffused photoelectric sensor for industrial automation systems requiring a 12 to 24 volt DC NPN discrete output in a standard cylindrical housing form factor.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or qualified automation technician following applicable NEC guidelines for low-voltage control wiring. De-energize the control panel and verify zero voltage before making wiring connections. The cylindrical body should be mounted in a threaded barrel bracket or standard M18 mounting hardware to ensure alignment with the target surface. Avoid exposing the cable to sharp edges or excessive bend radius that could damage the conductors over time.
