Telemecanique 18 mm Inductive Sensor
The Telemecanique Sensors XS618B1NAM12 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor with an 18 mm diameter barrel. It operates on 12 to 48V DC supply voltage and provides a 3-wire NPN normally open output. The sensor detects metal targets at a maximum distance of 8 mm with a switching frequency of 1,000 Hz.
Suited For Automated Machine Monitoring
This sensor suits industrial automation tasks requiring non-contact metal detection in harsh environments. Its IP67 and IP69K ratings alongside NEMA 4X protection resist water ingress and high-pressure washdown. The nickel-plated brass housing withstands operating temperatures from -13 to 158 degrees F. Buyers needing longer sensing ranges or AC voltage compatibility should consider alternative sensor types.
M12 Connector Simplifies Field Wiring
The integrated 4-pin M12 connector allows quick plug-and-play installation without cable glands or terminal blocks. This reduces wiring errors and speeds up sensor replacement during maintenance. The shielded construction permits flush mounting in metal brackets without affecting the 8 mm detection zone. No additional mounting hardware or configuration software is included in the package.

Questions about this item
What voltage supply must I already have to power the 12 to 48V DC sensor?
Provide a stable DC source between 12 and 48 volts; the sensor draws up to 200 mA so the supply must deliver at least that current.
Will the 4-pin M12 connector mate with the M12 cables I already use on older machines?
Yes, the 4-pin M12 connector follows the standard pin-out, so existing M12 patch cords will plug straight in.
How can I confirm the 1 kHz switching output is working after installation?
With a metal target at 8 mm the amber LED lights and the NPN output pulls low; an oscilloscope or PLC input should show a clean square wave at 1 000 Hz.
