Schneider Electric XX518A3NAM12 Ultrasonic Proximity Sensor

The Schneider Electric XX518A3NAM12 ultrasonic proximity sensor delivers 1 m non‑contact distance sensing in a rugged M18 cylindrical package, part of the OsiSense XX family, with a 4–20 mA analog output for precise process control. Designed for diffuse ultrasonic detection and position monitoring, it excels in conveyor systems, packaging equipment, and material handling lines where reliable distance measurement is required without contact. It operates from 12–24 V DC via a 5‑wire wiring scheme using a male M12 5‑pin connector, with IP67 protection, a PBT plastic housing, and a front composed of epoxy resin and rubber to withstand industrial environments. Status is shown by green and yellow LEDs, and it meets IEC 60947-5-2 with CE, UL, and CSA certifications. Operating temperature ranges from 0 °C to +60 °C, making it suitable for a variety of production floors. Common replacements include XX518A1KAM12, XX630A1KAM12, and XXS18P1AM12.
