Photoelectric sensor APC XUK1ARCNL2H61 — blue plastic housing, 0–7 m range, 24–240 V AC input, 250 V output, 50×50×18 mm

APC XUK1ARCNL2H61 is a compact photoelectric sensor in a blue plastic housing designed for presence and access detection in industrial and tertiary applications. The sensor uses an infrared reflex detection system with a nominal sensing distance up to 7 m when used with a 50×50 mm reflector. Its compact footprint of 50×50×18 mm and a 2 m five‑wire cable make the unit suitable for installation in constrained spaces and on conveyor frames, doors or access points. The device accepts AC supply in a wide range and provides a switching output suitable for control or monitoring circuits.

Advantages

The sensor combines a compact plastic housing and infrared reflex detection to deliver reliable object and presence detection in small form factor installations. Wide AC input range allows compatibility with varied supply systems without additional converters, while the 250 V-capable switching output supports direct interfacing with higher-voltage control devices. A pre-attached 2 m cable and 5-wire wiring simplify installation and integration into existing systems. The 50×50×18 mm design facilitates mounting where space is limited and supports standard reflector geometry for consistent performance up to the nominal range.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the sensor facing the reflector or the target area so that reflected infrared emission reaches the detector within the nominal range. Use the 50×50 mm reflector recommended for reaching the full 7 m sensing distance. Connect the five wires according to the control circuit requirements and the AC supply specifications, ensuring correct polarity and protective grounding where applicable. Secure the sensor mechanically using appropriate brackets or mounting holes to maintain alignment with the reflector and avoid vibration or accidental movement that could affect detection.

Recommendations

For reliable long-range performance, align the sensor and reflector carefully and keep the optical surfaces clean from dust, oil or condensation. Choose mounting positions that minimize exposure to direct sunlight or strong ambient infrared sources. Verify wiring and insulation for AC installations and use protective devices as required by local electrical standards.
