It runs from a DC-only 12-24V supply, which is the first wiring decision to lock in — a panel wired for AC/DC will not back-feed this head without a separate DC rail. The optical envelope is set at 0 to 11 m maximum sensing distance, with the multimode programming letting the integrator pick the operating mode without swapping hardware. Output is NPN and PNP on the same head with 1NO/1NC contact form, sinking or sourcing up to 100 mA per channel — that 100 mA figure is the package ceiling, so paralleling two loads against one sensor has to stay under the combined number, not the per-pin. Sealing to IP65 and IP67 means the body tolerates washdown and temporary immersion at the cable entry, but the installer still has to land the M16 gland correctly — a loose gland defeats the rating faster than anything else on the panel. Operating window of -13 °F to 131 °F covers most unheated enclosures and most outdoor cabinet interiors without derating; outside that band the sensor needs a climate-controlled housing. ## Where the class is used Compact multimode XU heads sit on packaging lines, assembly conveyors, and material-handling cells where one sensor type has to cover diffuse, retro-reflective, and polarized retro-reflective targets without rewiring the panel. Programmable light-on/dark-on switching plus a visible indicator lets a commissioning engineer walk a line and re-pole each station without pulling the head off the bracket. ## Sourcing posture Compliance documentation on file covers CE, CSA, RoHS, and UL Listed alongside IEC 60529, which is what most panel builders and OEMs ask to see before sign-off. With the multimode head and the DC-only supply locked, this sensor is the right pick for a new BOM line that already runs DC rails; for an AC/DC cabinet or a relay-output retrofit, the AKSAM12 or ARCTT16 sibling line is the cross-shop candidate instead.","metaTitle":"XUX0AKSAT16 Telemecanique XU Photoelectric Sensor, 12-24V DC","metaDescription":"Telemecanique XUX0AKSAT16 compact photoelectric sensor, Series XU, multimode 12-24V DC, NPN/PNP, 100 mA, 11 m, IP65/IP67.
