What it does and where it fits
The XS4P18MA230L2 is an inductive cylindrical proximity sensor from Telemecanique's XS4 series, designed for non-contact detection of metallic objects up to 8 mm away. Its 2-wire normally-open output and wide 24-240 V AC/DC supply voltage make it a flexible spare for mixed-voltage control panels or standalone machine circuits.
Key ratings in plain terms
The 24-240 V AC or DC supply fits both line-voltage and low-voltage circuits without a separate power module. IP68 rating means the sensor is sealed against dust ingress and continuous immersion in water beyond 1 m depth, so it suits washdown zones, food processing, and outdoor installations where condensation or spray is constant. The 10 m prewired cable with bare wire ends eliminates field termination block testing — strip and land directly in the control cabinet. The PPS (polyphenylene sulfide) body resists chemicals and high heat, maintaining sensor integrity in aggressive environments.
Sourcing and lifecycle
This XS4 series 2-wire part can be ordered via RFQ with standard lead times.
