It outputs PNP (sourcing) and works from 12 to 24 VDC. The sensing ranges cover four common modes: 30 cm diffuse, 12 cm with background suppression, 2 m polarized retroreflective, and 15 m through-beam — all using the same unit via the light/dark operating mode selection. Response is 2 milliseconds on/off, switching at 250 Hz, so it keeps up with fast-moving parts on a conveyor or packaging machine. ## Signal integrity in a noisy plant The 2-meter cable is unshielded PVC — fine for runs away from VFDs and welders. If you're mounting near a variable-frequency drive or high-current bus, run the cable in a separate metal conduit, or switch to a shielded version. The sensor itself switches clean at 250 Hz, but noise on the output can false-trigger a PLC input. Check the shield ground first if you see spurious counts. The 100 mA max load is plenty for a PLC input or a small relay, but don't drive a solenoid directly.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XUB0APSNL2 Photoelectric Sensor, 18mm PNP, IP6","metaDescription":"Active 18mm PNP photoelectric sensor from Telemecanique – plastic housing, 2m cable, 2ms response, 12-24VDC.

Functionally it has the same sensing distances, response time, and voltage range, but the output polarity differs. They are not drop-in interchangeable without rewiring the load side. For PNP systems, the XUB0BPSNL2 (metal, PNP) is a closer form/fit match except for housing material."},{"question":"What is the UPC for the XUB0APSNL2?","answer":"The UPC is 78590179172."},{"question":"Will the XUB0APSNL2 drop into a panel that was specified around XUB0BNSNL2 without rewiring?","answer":"No. The XUB0APSNL2 is PNP (sourcing) while XUB0BNSNL2 is NPN (sinking). The physical mount and cable are identical, but the output wiring must change to match the PLC or load input type.
