Telemecanique Sensors XU5M18MA230 Diffuse Photoelectric Sensor 18 230

SKU CH-42Q1-6T4P5

A diffuse photoelectric sensor detects objects without a separate reflector, supplied with bare-wire leads for direct wiring

  • Diffuse sensing detects objects without reflectors
  • 18 mm housing fits tight mounting spaces
  • 230 V AC supply suits industrial power networks
  • Bare wire leads allow direct terminal connection
  • Telemecanique Sensors brand backs reliable detection

Product Identity

The Telemecanique Sensors XU5M18MA230 is a diffuse photoelectric sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It suits engineers and maintenance teams who need reliable object detection without a separate reflector.

Sensing Range

The model designation includes the figure 18, which indicates the key sensing distance parameter for this device. This single value determines whether the sensor will reliably detect targets at the required range in your application.

Operating Characteristics

The sensor operates at a 230 V supply voltage, defining its power draw and compatibility with standard industrial control circuits. As a solid-state photoelectric device, it generates minimal heat and operates silently during normal use.

Highlights

  • Diffuse sensing detects objects without reflectors
  • 18 mm housing fits tight mounting spaces
  • 230 V AC supply suits industrial power networks
  • Bare wire leads allow direct terminal connection
  • Telemecanique Sensors brand backs reliable detection

Questions about this item

What sensing distance does the "18" figure give me when the sensor is mounted on a machine?

The "18" indicates an 18 mm sensing range for diffuse detection, so the sensor will trigger when an object enters that distance from its face.

What does the "230" rating tell me about the supply voltage the sensor can accept?

The "230" marks a 230 V AC supply rating, meaning the unit connects directly to mains voltage without an external transformer.

What mounting arrangement does the 18 mm barrel need to fit into a bracket?

The sensor uses an M18 threaded barrel that screws into a standard 18 mm clearance hole and locks with a nut.
