Telemecanique XS800NJ Inductive Proximity Sensor Product Description

Overview

Telemecanique XS800NJ is a legacy rectangular inductive proximity sensor from the Telemecanique OsiSense XS series (Schneider Sensors). This XS8 large square sensor is designed for non‑contact metal target detection, widely used for position feedback, limit detection and object presence monitoring on conveyors, machine tools and automated production lines. XS800NJ is an old catalog part number, already discontinued, a common spare for retrofitting and replacement of old Telemecanique sensor loops.

Features

Telemecanique XS800NJ adopts large rectangular PBT plastic housing and long sensing distance design for metal detection. This Telemecanique proximity sensor is 3‑wire DC type, NJ represents NPN normally open output. XS800NJ integrates reverse polarity, short‑circuit and overload protection circuits. The sensor is fully resin encapsulated, IP67 protection grade, suitable for workshop environments with dust, coolant splash and vibration. It has fast switching response and stable repeat accuracy for continuous cyclic detection.

Principle

Telemecanique XS800NJ inductive proximity sensor works by high‑frequency oscillating electromagnetic field. When a metal object enters the sensing zone, the oscillation attenuates; the internal detection circuit triggers the NPN output to switch state and send signal to PLC or relay. If short circuit, reverse polarity or overcurrent occurs, the built‑in protection circuit suppresses output to avoid damage.

Applications

Telemecanique XS800NJ is deployed in material handling conveyors, packaging machinery, machine tool travel limit stations and automated assembly lines. This Telemecanique sensor detects metal pallet, workpiece and carriage position. XS800NJ fits equipment maintenance and spare replacement of legacy XS series NPN proximity sensors.

Installation & Maintenance Notes

Follow official Telemecanique XS sensor manual during installation of XS800NJ. Confirm 24VDC polarity and wiring definition, NPN output wiring must match PLC sink input. Keep proper gap between sensor and metal target, and reserve side clearance from other metal structures to prevent false triggering. Check cable insulation and connector tightness regularly in splash and dust environments. Confirm exact part number XS800NJ before spare‑part swap‑out to verify NPN NO function, voltage and sensing distance compatibility.
