The Telemecanique XS8C4A1PCG13 is a rectangular inductive proximity sensor from the XS8 series, built with a PBT body and rated IP65, IP67 and IP69K — meaning it takes washdown cycles and caustic CIP without issue. Shielded face, 20 mm sensing distance, and a PNP output that switches up to 200 mA on 12-48V DC supply.
Mounting and wiring
Rectangular housing, 40×40×117 mm, with screw clamp terminals for the four wires. PNP output, NO/NC programmable via internal wiring. Supply voltage 12-48V DC — matches common 24V panel busses. Indicator light included for fast line-down fault isolation.
What the ratings mean for fit
IP65, IP67, and IP69K mean the XS8C4A1PCG13 survives high-pressure, hot-water washdown typical in food, beverage, and pharma lines — not just dust and immersion. The 20 mm shielded sensing distance works reliably through metallic targets without needing a non-metallic window. PNP output is standard for sinking PLC inputs; 200 mA load capacity covers most direct valve or indicator loads without an interposing relay.
