Fit and function at a glance
The XS118B3NAL2: 18 mm barrel, 8 mm flush sensing range, NPN NO output, 12 to 24 VDC supply — this is a standard 3-wire DC proximity for control panels. The 200 mA load current covers direct drives for small relays or PLC inputs. Switching at 1000 Hz keeps up with moderate line speeds. IP65/67 and nickel-plated brass body make it suitable for washdown and moderate dust; PPS sensing face resists chemical splash. Flush mounting lets it sit flush in metal without losing range.

Installation notes
Threaded barrel, 18 mm, flush mount. Cable is 2 meters, 3-wire PVC. Operating temperature -13 to 158 °F. Wire to NPN sinking input: brown to +VDC, blue to common, black to PLC input. Off-state leakage is well under the 200 mA rated load; no external pull-up needed.
