Light On / Dark On is selectable on the body, and the on-board indicator plus integrated display make alignment and SAT loop-checks a one-person job. ## Wiring fit — M12 4-pin direct connector The XUX0AKSAM12 is a Direct Connector variant with an M12 4-pin electrical connection, right-angle orientation, and the standard 31 mm × 92 mm × 77 mm rectangular PBT footprint of the XU line. That connector style matters: the XUX0AKSAT16 sibling in the same family uses a screw-terminal electrical connection on the identical body, so a panel wired for screw terminations will need a cordset change to accept the M12 plug — same housing, different wiring entry. ## Sensing envelope and environmental envelope Maximum sensing distance is 11 m, with multimode optics programmable for background suppression, diffuse, retro-reflective, and polarized retro-reflective operation across the same window. Enclosure sealing is IP65 and IP67 with an operating range of -13 °F to 131 °F, and the unit carries CE, CSA, IEC 60529, RoHS, and UL Listed compliance for panel-side spec freeze.","metaTitle":"Schneider XUX0AKSAM12 Photoelectric Sensor, XU, 11 m","metaDescription":"Schneider XUX0AKSAM12 XU-series multimode photoelectric sensor, 24-240V AC & 12-24V DC, M12 4-pin, IP65/IP67, current production.
