It provides a 15 m sensing range between separate emitter and receiver, aimed and aligned frontally. Operating on 12 to 24 VDC with a 3-wire, NPN normally-closed output, it switches a maximum load current of 100 mA. On/off response time is 1 millisecond, with a switching frequency of 500 Hz — fast enough for part counting or web break detection. The housing is PBT with a PMMA lens, rated NEMA 4X/12 and IP67 — suited for washdown and dusty environments. A mounting nut is included. Approvals UL, CSA, and CE cover most industrial and commercial installations. ## Field wiring and integration Connected via a 2-meter PVC cable, three conductors: standard brown/blue/black for V+, V-, and NPN NC output. The NC (normally-closed) configuration means the output transistor is on when the beam is uninterrupted, and switches off when the beam is blocked. Verify the sink current from the input card — 100 mA maximum load means this can drive most PLC digital inputs or small relays directly. ## Not a drop-in for the XU2 series A common cross-reference to check is the XU2M18MB230. That part operates on 24 to 240 VAC/VDC, uses a 2-wire connection, and has a 20 ms response time — too slow and the wrong voltage for a DC NPN system. The XUB2ANBNL2R requires 12-24 VDC and a 3-wire NPN sinking input. No rewiring shortcut exists between the two.","metaTitle":"Telemecanique XUB2ANBNL2R Tubular Photoelectric Sensor, 15m,","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XUB2ANBNL2R through-beam tubular photoelectric sensor: 15m range, 12-24 VDC, NPN NC output, 1ms response, IP67.
