18 mm Inductive Proximity Sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS618B1MAL5 is an 18 mm inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation. It detects metal targets at up to 8 mm with a normally open, two-wire output. The unit operates on 24 to 240 V AC or DC and is rated IP68 and IP69K for harsh environments.
Straightforward Cable Installation
A 5 m pre-wired cable removes the need for separate connectors and simplifies wiring in the field. The nickel-plated brass barrel threads into standard 18 mm mounting points. Ensure the supply voltage stays within the 24 to 240 V range and that load current does not exceed 200 mA to avoid damage.
For Machine Builders Needing Wash-Down Resistance
This sensor suits packaging, food-processing and outdoor equipment where high-pressure cleaning occurs. Buyers who require a normally closed output, a shorter cable or a different sensing distance should look at other models.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the sensor is detecting metal at the rated 8 mm distance after installation?
Power the sensor within the 24 to 240 V AC/DC range, bring a metal target to within 8 mm of the 18 mm sensing face, and verify the load (up to 200 mA) switches on; the two-wire output will close the circuit when the target is present.
What is included in the box and what must be purchased separately?
The sensor comes with a 5 m pre-wired cable and a nickel-plated brass body rated IP68 and IP69K; mounting brackets, lock nuts, or a separate power supply are not included and must be sourced separately.
Which output configuration should I choose for a simple on/off control circuit?
The XS618B1MAL5 is a normally open (NO) two-wire model, so it completes the circuit only when metal is detected — ideal for direct series connection with a relay or PLC input without needing a separate signal wire.
