12 mm inductive proximity sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS212AANAL2 detects metal targets at up to 7 mm without physical contact. It operates on 12 to 24V DC and provides a 3-wire NPN normally-open output. The cylindrical plastic body measures 41 mm in length and carries NEMA 4X plus IP68 and IP69K ratings for harsh environments. It suits automation, packaging and machine-tool applications requiring reliable presence sensing.
Simple two-metre cable installation
The sensor terminates in a 2 m cable for direct wiring into control cabinets or junction boxes. No separate connector or mounting bracket is supplied, so installers must provide their own 12 mm mounting hardware and cable routing. The unshielded design demands clearance around the sensing face; metal too close to the sides will cause false triggers. Operating frequency of 2 500 Hz supports fast cycling but requires clean power to avoid noise-induced switching.
7 mm maximum detecting distance
The single figure that determines fit is the 7 mm sensing range on standard mild steel. Targets smaller than the sensor face or made of non-ferrous metal will reduce the effective distance further. Buyers who need a longer range or a shielded housing for flush mounting cannot use this model. The 200 mA load limit also restricts direct control of larger contactors without an intermediate relay.

Questions about this item
How do I confirm the sensor is detecting correctly after wiring it to a 12 to 24V DC supply?
With power applied, bring a metal target within the 7 mm max detecting distance; the NO output should close and the load (up to 200 mA) will energise, showing the sensor is working.
What comes in the box and do I need a separate mounting bracket or connector?
The sensor is supplied with a 2 m cable already attached; no connector is needed, but a mounting bracket is not included and must be sourced separately.
Which output type should I choose — NPN or PNP — for this XS212AANAL2 model?
This specific model is a 3-wire NPN NO version; if your control input requires PNP logic you would need a different part number.
