XUB1ANANL2 is a cylindrical M18 retroreflective photoelectric sensor from the Telemecanique XU series, built for object detection at distances up to 5.5 m. It runs on 12-24V DC, switches at 500 Hz, and gives a 1 ms response — fast enough for packaging lines or conveyor gates that need a clean NPN signal back to a PLC input card. The 2 m prewired cable saves time during install — no connector to source or crimp. IP65 and IP67 mean it can handle washdown zones as long as the cable entry stays sealed. It's a current-production item, so lead times are predictable when you send an RFQ with quantity.
Ratings that matter for fit
Sensing range is 5.5 m. The NPN output sinks up to 100 mA. Switching at 500 Hz with 1 ms response handles fast-moving parts. The selectable Light On/Dark On mode covers both presence and absence detection without a physical jumper — just the teach sequence. Built-in reverse polarity, short-circuit, and surge protection reduce field failures from miswiring or transients.
Compliance and documentation
Carries CE, CSA, UL Listed, and RoHS marks. The UL listing is specifically for the US and Canada. IEC 60529 covers the IP rating. For your quality file, the manufacturer's declaration and a copy of the UL certificate are available with the order.
