Telemecanique Sensors XS230AAPAM12 30 mm Inductive Proximity Sensor

SKU CH-M27A-ZEMQ4

30 mm unshielded inductive sensor detects metal up to 22 mm, runs on 12–24 V DC with PNP NO output via M12 connector, rated IP67/IP69K for harsh environments

  • Detects metal up to 22 mm away
  • Operates on 12 to 24 V DC supply
  • Switches at 500 Hz for fast response
  • IP67 and IP69K rated for harsh environments
  • Works from -13 °F to 185 °F temperature range

30 mm Inductive Proximity Sensor

The Telemecanique Sensors XS230AAPAM12 is a cylindrical inductive proximity sensor designed for industrial automation tasks. It detects metal objects without physical contact at a maximum distance of 22 mm. The unit operates on a 12 to 24V DC supply and provides a 3-wire PNP normally open output. Its unshielded design suits applications where flush mounting is not required.

IP67 and IP69K Sealed Housing

The plastic case carries NEMA 4X, IP67 and IP69K ratings for resistance to dust, water jets and high-pressure washdown. Operating temperature spans -13 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit for use in harsh environments. The sensor draws a maximum load current of 200 mA and switches at an operating frequency of 500 Hz. A 4-pin M12 connector ensures a secure electrical connection with minimal wiring effort.

41 mm Length with M12 Connector

The compact 41 mm body length allows installation in confined machine frames. The integrated 4-pin M12 connector simplifies cable routing and reduces installation time compared to flying-lead models. No separate mounting hardware or configuration software is included in the package. The sensor is ready for immediate integration into existing 12 to 24V DC control systems.

Questions about this item

How do I wire the 4-pin M12 connector on this 30 mm inductive sensor?

Connect the brown wire to 12 to 24V DC, the blue wire to ground, and the black wire to the load for the 3-wire PNP NO output. Tighten the M12 connector to IP67 or IP69K torque specs to maintain the seal.

What maintenance does the plastic-cased XS230AAPAM12 need over time?

Periodically wipe the unshielded sensing face clean of metal chips, coolant, or debris that could reduce the 22 mm detecting distance. Inspect the M12 connector and cable for cracks or ingress, especially after high-pressure washdowns at IP69K.

At what point does the 500 Hz switching limit affect continuous operation?

The 500 Hz operating frequency caps the maximum detection rate; targets passing faster than one every 2 ms will be missed. Ensure the load current stays at or below 200 mA and the supply remains within 12 to 24V DC to avoid thermal derating up to 185 °F.
