What is the sensing distance of the BI5U-MT18-AP6X-H1141?

This M18 inductive sensor has a 5 mm sensing distance for ferrous metals (iron and steel). Non-ferrous metals may reduce the effective range.

Does this sensor work with 24V DC?

Yes. The BI5U-MT18-AP6X-H1141 accepts 10–30 V DC supply voltage, making it compatible with standard industrial 24 V control logic.

What is the output type?

The AP6X variant outputs PNP (sourcing) logic, suitable for sinking inputs on PLCs and relay modules.

Is this sensor food-safe or hygienic?

While the stainless steel housing is corrosion-resistant, this is not a hygienic-design sensor. For washdown or food-industry applications, consult Turck's hygienic sensor line.

How do I mount the BI5U-MT18-AP6X-H1141?

The M18 form factor uses a threaded mounting collar. Standard M18 mounting hardware is widely available; typical installations use panel-mount flanges or sensor brackets.

Can I daisy-chain multiple BI5U sensors?

No. Each sensor is a discrete switch. However, multiple sensors can be wired in parallel or series in your PLC input module as needed for your logic.

What cable length comes with the AP6X variant?

The 6X designation indicates a standard cable variant. Turck offers several cable lengths; verify your specific PN suffix for exact length.

Is this sensor certified for Ex / hazardous areas?

The BI5U-MT18-AP6X-H1141 is not Ex-certified. For explosive atmospheres, consult Turck's certified Ex-sensor portfolio.
