M18 Inductive Sensor for Hazardous Areas

The Turck BI5-EM18-Y1X-H1141 is a flush-mount inductive sensor with an M18 × 1 threaded barrel. It operates on a nominal 8.2 VDC two-wire DC circuit and provides a NAMUR output compliant with DIN EN 60947-5-6. The stainless steel 1.4301 housing carries ATEX approvals for gas and dust zones plus SIL2 and PLc ratings for safety-related systems.

M12 Connector Simplifies Wiring

A male M12 × 1 connector on the sensor body allows quick, tool-free connection to a matching cordset. The flush mounting design lets the barrel sit level with the surrounding metal, but the installer must maintain the required clearance from adjacent metal to avoid false triggering. No special tools are needed beyond standard wrenches for the M18 thread.

Rated Switching Distance of 5 mm

The sensor detects ferrous targets at a rated switching distance of 5 mm under standard test conditions. This figure determines whether the unit suits the intended application; if a longer sensing range is required, this model will not meet that need.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the BI5-EM18-Y1X-H1141 is operating correctly after wiring it to my NAMUR input module?

The sensor delivers a NAMUR current signal to the connected input module; the module's indicator or diagnostic display will confirm the signal changes when a metal target enters the 5 mm switching zone.

What does the box contain and what must I source separately for installation?

The package includes one inductive sensor with an M12 × 1 male connector; you will need to provide an M12 female cordset and a NAMUR-compatible power supply or input module rated for 8.2 VDC.

Which version of this M18 sensor should I choose for a flush-mount, hazardous-area application?

Select the BI5-EM18-Y1X-H1141 (order number 4015202) — it has a stainless-steel 1.4301 housing, flush mounting, M12 connector and ATEX II 1G/2G/3G and 1D/2D/3D approvals plus SIL2/PLc ratings.
