Inductive Sensor for Hazardous Areas
The Turck BI5-P18-Y1X/S97 is an inductive proximity sensor built for use in explosive atmospheres. It carries ATEX approvals for gas and dust zones plus SIL2 and PLc functional-safety ratings. Electricians and plant engineers specify it for safety-critical position detection in harsh industrial environments.
5 mm Switching Distance with 8.2 V NAMUR Output
The sensor detects metal targets at a rated 5 mm distance when mounted flush in an M18 × 1 threaded barrel. It operates on a nominal 8.2 V DC two-wire NAMUR circuit compliant with DIN EN 60947-5-6. The low-voltage output suits intrinsic-safety barriers but cannot drive loads directly without an approved switching amplifier.
PA12-GF30 Housing Rated to -40 °C
The threaded barrel is moulded from PA12-GF30-V0 plastic weighing 107 g and retains mechanical integrity down to -40 °C. The material resists many chemicals and impacts common in process plants. Buyers needing a metal housing, a larger sensing range or a standard PNP/NPN output must select a different sensor family.

Questions about this item
Will the M18×1 threaded barrel and 5 mm switching distance work with my existing flush-mount brackets?
The sensor has an M18×1 threaded barrel and a rated switching distance of 5 mm, designed for flush mounting in standard brackets.
How can I confirm the NAMUR output at 8.2 VDC is functioning correctly after installation?
Measure the current loop on the two-wire DC cable; a proper NAMUR signal shifts between low and high current states at the 8.2 VDC nominal voltage.
Does the package include the cable and are any mounting nuts or connectors sold separately?
The unit comes with an integrated cable connection in a single box; mounting hardware and separate connectors are not included.
