Bernstein KCN-T18PS 008-KLP2 Proximity Sensor

Bernstein KCN-T18PS/008-KLP2 is a capacitive proximity switch housed in a blue PBT M18 body, designed for non‑contact detection of nearby materials with a nominal sensing distance of 8 mm and an adjustable range from 1 to 8 mm. It provides a PNP normally‑open output that switches the positive supply and operates on a wide DC input of 10–60 V (Ue 12–48 V), drawing up to 200 mA under load with no‑load current ≤ 20 mA and an off‑state current ≤ 0.5 mA; voltage drop is ≤ 3 V at 200 mA. The unit includes two LEDs (green for power, yellow for output), features reverse polarity protection, and carries IP67 (NEMA 4) protection suitable for harsh industrial environments, with an operating temperature range of –25°C to 70°C. A 3‑conductor, 0.5 mm2 cable is provided over 2 m, and the sensor footprint is about 81 mm long with non‑flush mounting. Additional performance specs include a response time ≤ 50 ms, a repeat accuracy ≤ 10% of Sr, and a sensing frequency near 25 Hz, making this model a robust choice within Bernstein’s M18 capacitive proximity sensor family for reliable detection in automated systems.
