XUM2APXBL2 is the XUM miniature thru-beam kit in Telemecanique Sensors’ XU family, consisting of the XUM2AKXBL2T transmitter and the XUM2APXBL2R receiver. With a red LED it offers a 20 m nominal and 30 m maximum sensing distance; its 10 × 33 × 20 mm (W × H × D) PBT body fits in tight machine and conveyor spaces. Sensitivity is set by potentiometer.
The receiver output is PNP, programmable as 1 NO or 1 NC; it switches up to 100 mA with overload and short-circuit protection. Response and recovery delays are 0.5 ms and switching frequency is up to 1000 Hz. It operates at −30…+55 °C with IP67/IP65 protection, is immune to ambient light up to 40,000 lx sunlight, and withstands 100 gn shock and 9 gn vibration on every axis. Connection is by 2 m cable; certified cULus, CE and UKCA.
