Schneider Electric XU8M18MA230K

The XU series of photoelectric sensors is a comprehensive offering from our range. This specific model, the XU8, is designed in a cylindrical M18 form factor. It employs a diffuse detection system with advanced background suppression technology. The sensor boasts a nominal sensing distance of 0.12 meters with background suppression, and it outputs a discrete type signal. Electrical connection is facilitated through a 3-pin 1/2-20 UNF male connector.

The XU8 is rated for an IP67 level of protection, making it suitable for challenging environments. It supports a wide range of supply voltages from 24V to 240V AC/DC, with a maximum residual current of 1.5mA and a switching frequency of up to 25Hz. The sensor employs an infrared diffuse emission with background suppression and includes an LED for output state indication.

The enclosure is crafted from nickel-plated brass, featuring a PMMA lens. Its dimensions are 18mm in diameter and 95mm in length, weighing approximately 0.075kg. This sensor is ideal for applications in material handling, packaging, labelling, assembly, lift, escalators, or the food and beverage industry.

The XU8 photoelectric sensor is certified by CSA, CE, and UL, ensuring its reliability and compliance with international standards.
