The Telemecanique XS8C2A4PCM12 is a rectangular inductive proximity sensor from the XS8 series, delivering a 40 mm unshielded sensing distance with a PNP output circuit configurable as NO/NC. It operates on a 12-48V DC supply and draws a maximum load current of 200 mA through a 4-pin M12 connector.
Rated IP65, IP67, and IP69K, the PBT body withstands high-pressure washdown and high-temperature steam cleaning — suitable for food-and-bev or heavy washdown lines where standard IP67 sensors fail. The IP69K rating means the sensor body and optics survive 80–100 bar water jets at 80°C, typical in hygienic zones. Built-in overload, reverse polarity, and short circuit protection reduce the risk of field-side damage from wiring errors or a stalled output. The sensor includes an LED indicator for local status confirmation.
