Product identity
The Telemecanique Sensors XS212SANAL2 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with a 12 mm barrel diameter. It provides non-contact detection of metal targets at a maximum sensing distance of 7 mm. The unit operates on a 12 to 24V DC supply and delivers a 3-wire NPN normally-open output. It is suited for automation and machine-shop environments requiring reliable presence sensing.
Installation checks
Verify that the control system accepts a 12 to 24V DC NPN normally-open signal and can handle a 200mA load. Confirm the 2 m integral cable length reaches the termination point without splicing. Ensure the mounting location accommodates the 41 mm body length and the unshielded sensing face, which requires clearance from surrounding metal to avoid false triggers. The 2,500 Hz switching frequency suits high-speed counting or positioning tasks.
Build and daily use
The housing is machined from 316L stainless steel and carries NEMA 4X, IP68 and IP69K ratings, so it withstands wash-down, immersion and high-pressure cleaning. The sealed 2 m cable exits the body without a separate connector, reducing leak paths but fixing the cable length permanently. Operating temperature spans -13 to 185 degrees F, covering cold storage and hot-process zones alike.

Questions about this item
What comes with the XS212SANAL2 sensor and what must I buy separately?
The sensor includes a 2 m cable for power and signal. You will need a 12 to 24 V DC power supply and a suitable mounting bracket, which are not included.
How do I choose between the available output types for this 12 mm sensor?
This model has a fixed 3-wire NPN normally-open output. If your controller requires PNP or normally-closed logic, select a different part number from the same series.
What does the 7 mm detecting distance mean when the sensor is mounted in a steel fixture?
The 7 mm figure applies to a standard mild-steel target. Because the sensor is unshielded, keep surrounding metal at least one diameter clear to avoid reducing the effective range.
