- Connects quickly via 4-pin M12 connector at 2000 Hz switching
Industrial Proximity Sensor 18 mm
The Telemecanique Sensors XS518B1PAM12 is an 18 mm cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for automated machinery. It detects metal targets at distances up to 5 mm and provides a 3-wire PNP normally-open output. The housing is nickel-plated brass rated IP67 and IP69K for harsh environments.
Suited For Factory Automation
This sensor suits production lines that need reliable metal detection at 2,000 Hz switching frequency with 12 to 24 V DC supply. It is not for applications requiring non-metallic target detection, analog output signals, or sensing ranges beyond the specified 5 mm limit.
Simple M12 Connector Installation
A 4-pin M12 connector allows quick wiring without soldering. The shielded design permits flush mounting in metal brackets. Installers must observe the 200 mA maximum load current and the -13 to 158 °F operating temperature range to avoid premature failure.

Questions about this item
What supply voltage must my machine provide for the 12 to 24V DC sensor?
The sensor operates on any DC supply between 12 V and 24 V, so your existing 12 V or 24 V rail can power it directly without an extra converter.
Will the 200 mA PNP output work with my current PLC input cards?
Yes, the 3-wire PNP output delivers up to 200 mA at 24 V DC, matching standard PLC sinking inputs rated for that current.
How do I confirm the 5 mm sensing range is detecting correctly after wiring the M12 connector?
Bring a steel target to 5 mm from the 18 mm face; the NO output should close and the indicator LED (if fitted) will light, proving the 2 000 Hz switching is active.
