- 8 mm sensing range detects metal targets reliably
- 5 mm maximum detecting distance for precise positioning
- 12 to 24 V DC supply fits common industrial power rails
- IP67 and NEMA 4X ratings resist water and dust ingress
- 4 kHz switching frequency supports high-speed automation cycles
Product identity and intended use
The Telemecanique Sensors XS508B1DAM12 is an 8 mm cylindrical inductive proximity sensor built for industrial automation. It suits engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable non-contact detection of metal targets in machinery, conveyors or process equipment.
Detection range and electrical headroom
The shielded design gives a maximum detecting distance of 1.5 mm, so it handles close-range presence sensing where space is tight. It operates on 12 to 24V DC with a 2-wire output circuit and a 100 mA maximum current load, running out of headroom if the load exceeds that limit or the supply falls outside the stated window.
Environmental resilience and power characteristics
A 303 stainless-steel case rated IP67 and NEMA 4X resists water ingress, dust and corrosion in harsh plant environments. The sensor functions across a -13 °F to 158 °F temperature range, draws minimal power within its 100 mA ceiling, and produces no audible noise during its 4 000 Hz switching cycles.

Questions about this item
Will the 12 to 24 V DC supply on my existing machine work with this sensor?
Yes, the sensor operates on any supply between 12 and 24 V DC, so it matches common industrial control voltages without modification.
How can I confirm the 4 000 Hz switching speed is active after wiring?
Apply a repeating metal target at speed; the NO output will toggle cleanly at up to 4 000 Hz, which can be verified with an oscilloscope or PLC counter.
Does the box include the mating 4-pin M12 cable or must I order it separately?
Only the sensor with its integral 4-pin M12 connector is supplied; a compatible M12 cable must be purchased separately.
