The sensing face is unshielded on an M30 thread, with the nominal sensing distance running from 15 mm at the minimum to 40 mm at the maximum — wide enough that a single SKU covers most tank-level and conveyor-presence layouts a panel builder hits on a hygienic line. ## Supply, load and what the 2-wire loop actually means The supply envelope is 24-240V AC and 24-240V DC on the same two conductors, so the same part drops onto an AC control transformer tap or a DC logic supply without rewiring — useful when a retrofit inherits mixed rails. Load current is rated to 300 mA maximum, which is the ceiling a sourcing buyer has to plan the input card or contactor coil against, not the typical draw — verify the downstream device's inrush against that figure before specifying. ## Washdown envelope Sealing is IP68 and IP69K with a NEMA 4X enclosure rating, and the 316L stainless body is rated for an operating span of -13 °F to 185 °F — comfortable headroom for daily hot-caustic washdown at elevated temperatures and outdoor unheated cabinets down to a Midwest winter floor. Approvals on the nameplate are CCC, CE, CSA, RoHS and UL Listed, so the part carries the compliance paper trail a food-and-bev skid or export-bound machine build typically asks for at goods-in. ## On the panel — cable, indicator and mounting The 5 m prewired bare-wire pigtail is the practical difference from the shorter cable variant — route through the gland plate to the terminal block without intermediate connectors in the splash zone, and budget the slack for a service loop at the sensor mount. An integrated indicator light is included on the body, so commissioning and fault isolation on the line read the status without a meter on the loop. Overall height is 63 mm on the M30 thread — standard for this frame, and matching the same XS2-series mounting footprint so existing brackets and clamp hardware stay common across the line. ## Where the class is used Cylindrical inductive proximity sensors in this class are the workhorse presence detectors on conveyors, fillers and capping stations — non-contact detection of metal targets through a stainless housing that survives the washdown regime, with a 2-wire AC/DC output that lands directly on a PLC input or contactor coil without an intermediate relay. Lifecycle stage is current production, so the BOM line stays specified-into-active and orders move against an RFQ rather than a last-time-buy or broker channel.","metaTitle":"XS230SAMAL5 Telemecanique XS2 M30 Inductive Sensor, 5 m","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XS230SAMAL5 XS2 M30 inductive proximity sensor, 24-240V AC/DC 2-wire NO, IP68/IP69K, 5 m prewired cable.
