The Telemecanique XUM0AKSAL2T is a miniature rectangular through-beam photoelectric transmitter from the XUM series, built for a 10 m sensing distance at 12 to 24 VDC. The IP67 and NEMA 1/3/4/6/6P/12/13 enclosure means this sensor body and optics handle washdown environments — suited for food-and-bev lines or outdoor conveyor systems where hose-down cleaning is routine. The 2 m PVR cable connection keeps field wiring simple; no separate connector body to seal. The PBT housing and PMMA lens material give it the chemical resistance needed around mild cleaning agents, though PMMA can craze with strong solvents — something to check against your line's sanitation protocol.
The 10 m sensing distance is the through-beam range between the XUM0AKSAL2T transmitter and its companion receiver. Through-beam gives you the longest reach and highest immunity to dirt or steam compared to retroreflective or diffuse modes — good for part-present detection across a conveyor gap or through a dust-laden atmosphere. The 12 to 24 VDC operating voltage is standard for industrial sensor bus supplies; verify your DC supply stays within that window, especially under brownout conditions. The NEMA 6P rating means it withstands prolonged submersion — not just splash. That is rare in a miniature rectangular package and makes it a candidate for washdown zones where many sensors fail from moisture ingress through the cable entry or case seams.
