Industrial inductive proximity sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS212BLPAL2 is an inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation tasks. Its 12 mm nickel-plated brass housing and IP67 rating suit harsh environments where reliable metal detection is required. The sensor operates on 12 to 24V DC and provides a PNP normally open output for direct PLC integration. A 2 m cable simplifies wiring in control cabinets or on machine frames.
4 mm sensing range and 100 mA load limit
The unshielded design delivers a maximum detecting distance of 4 mm, adequate for close-range presence sensing of ferrous and non-ferrous targets. An operating frequency of 1 000 Hz supports fast repetitive detection on conveyors or indexing tables. The 3-wire PNP output handles up to 100 mA, sufficient for small relays, indicator lights or direct PLC inputs. Heavier loads such as contactor coils or solenoid valves will exceed this limit and require an interposing relay.
Temperature and cable constraints
The unit functions from -13 °F to 158 °F, covering most indoor and sheltered outdoor installations. The fixed 2 m cable length determines mounting distance from the termination point; extensions need appropriate junction boxes to maintain the IP67 seal. NEMA 4X rating adds corrosion resistance for wash-down areas, yet the sensor is not suited for applications requiring longer reach, higher switching current or shielded mounting in metal surrounds.

Questions about this item
Will the 12 mm diameter and 4 mm sensing range fit the same mounting holes as my existing 12 mm sensors?
Yes, the housing is 12 mm in diameter with a 4 mm unshielded sensing distance, so it matches standard M12 mounting dimensions.
How can I verify the PNP output is switching correctly once the sensor is powered?
Apply 12 to 24 V DC, bring a metal target within 4 mm, and measure the output wire — it should rise to the supply voltage when the target is present.
Does the 2 m cable come pre-wired or do I need a separate connector?
The sensor includes a 2 m cable permanently attached; no separate connector is required.
