It provides two short-circuit protected PNP safety outputs plus a diagnostic output, with an LED indicator for on‑board diagnostics and the ability to monitor health across the safety network. This variant supports series-wiring up to 16 sensors and a maximum sensor‑chain length of 200 m, enabling scalable safety architectures. The pre-wired version includes a 7‑pole cable and is offered in 5 m and 10 m lengths (examples: 5 m variants 101189302 and 101190269; 10 m variant 103011483), suitable for compact integration wherever explosion protection is required. In explosion-protection terms, the device carries markings appropriate for Ex zones 2 and 22, with gas- and dust-environment approvals (Ex nA IIB T6 Gc X \/ Ex nA IIC T6 Gc X \/ Ex tc IIIC T70°C Dc X, as applicable to the configuration), reflecting compliance with prevailing EN\/IEC standards. As an inductive safety sensor, it delivers reliable switching points with high repeatability, supports a safe, coded communication scheme, and is designed to be integrated into safety circuits where robust performance and diagnostics are essential in challenging environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Schmersal","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46284001345770,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0716\/8039\/3450\/files\/GTG-STOCK-021.png?v=1788727428","url":"https:\/\/gtghardware.com\/products\/schmersal-ex-css-8-180-2pd-m-l-3g-inductive-safety-sensor","provider":"GTG Hardware","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
