The Schneider XS8E1A1PAM8 is a high-performance inductive proximity sensor from the XS8 Series, designed to offer reliable detection in a compact block form factor. This sensor is engineered to operate with a nominal sensing distance of 10 mm and can accommodate non-flush mounting with a sensing range of up to 15 mm. It is suitable for a variety of applications where precision detection of metal objects is required.
Crafted with a robust PBT (polybutylene terephthalate) enclosure, the XS8E1A1PAM8 ensures durability and resistance to environmental factors, making it an ideal choice for industrial settings. The sensor operates on a supply voltage of 12 to 24 V dc and is equipped with a PNP normally open (NO) discrete output, which allows for straightforward integration into control systems.
The device features a 3-wire electrical connection with an M8 male connector, ensuring a secure and easy installation process. With an IP67 rating, the sensor is protected against dust and water immersion, further enhancing its suitability for challenging environments.
The XS8E1A1PAM8 is designed with attention to detail, offering features such as a fine adjustment zone and differential travel to ensure precise operation and to minimise false triggering. Its switching capacity is rated at less than or equal to 100 mA dc, with overload and short-circuit protection to safeguard the sensor's longevity.
This inductive proximity sensor is a testament to Schneider's commitment to quality and innovation, providing a reliable and efficient solution for industrial sensing needs.
