3. Safety Instructions

Always adhere to the following safety guidelines to prevent injury and damage to the equipment:

• Disconnect power before installation, wiring, or maintenance.
• Ensure proper grounding to prevent electrical shock.
• Do not exceed the specified supply voltage (12-24 V DC).
• Avoid exposing the sensor to corrosive substances or extreme mechanical stress beyond its ratings.
• Installation and wiring should be performed by qualified personnel only.
• Verify all connections are secure before applying power.
• This device features double insulation for enhanced protection against electric shocks.

4. Installation

The XS130B3PAL2 sensor is designed for flush mounting and can be installed directly onto a metallic surface or support.

Mounting Steps:

1. Identify the desired mounting location. Ensure sufficient clearance for the sensor body and cable.
2. Drill a hole of appropriate diameter (Ø 30 mm) for the M30 x 1.5 thread.
3. Insert the sensor into the drilled hole.
4. Secure the sensor using the two provided nuts on the external thread. Tighten firmly but do not overtighten to avoid damaging the housing.
5. Ensure the sensing face is flush with the mounting surface for optimal performance.

Note: For non-flush mounting applications, consult the product datasheet for specific mounting distances and considerations to prevent mutual interference between sensors or with metallic objects.

5. Wiring

The XS130B3PAL2 is a 3-wire, PNP, Normally Open (NO) sensor with a 2-meter pre-wired cable. Follow the wiring diagram below:

• Brown Wire: Connect to +12-24 V DC (Power Supply Positive)
• Blue Wire: Connect to 0 V DC (Power Supply Negative / Ground)
• Black Wire: Connect to Load (Output Signal)

Ensure all connections are correct and secure before applying power. Incorrect wiring can damage the sensor or connected equipment.

6. Operation

Once properly installed and wired, the sensor is ready for operation. When a metallic object enters the sensing range (15 mm), the sensor's output will switch states.

Sensing Indication:

The sensor features an annular LED indicator. This LED illuminates when a target object is detected within the sensing range, providing visual confirmation of operation and aiding in configuration and troubleshooting.

Sensing Principle:

Inductive proximity sensors generate an electromagnetic field. When a metallic object enters this field, it causes a change in the field, which the sensor detects, triggering its output. The nickel-plated brass housing provides magnetic shielding, enhancing precision and immunity to external magnetic disturbances.

7. Maintenance

The Schneider Electric Osisense XS130B3PAL2 sensor is designed for minimal maintenance. Regular inspection can help ensure long-term reliable operation.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the sensing face to remove dust, dirt, or debris that may accumulate and affect performance. Use a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Cable Inspection: Check the cable for any signs of damage, such as cuts, abrasions, or kinks. Replace the sensor if the cable is damaged.
• Mounting Security: Ensure the sensor remains securely mounted. Vibrations or impacts can loosen mounting nuts over time.
• Environmental Conditions: Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature range (-25°C to +70°C) and that the IP protection ratings are not compromised.
