Notes:
1) HL-C201F, HL-C203F, HL-C211F, HL-C211F5 fall under the Japanese Export Control. These products are introduced to limited countries only.
2) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were as follows: supply voltage 24 V DC, ambient temperature +20 ℃ +68 ℉, sampling rate 40 μs, average number of samples: 256, measurement center distance, object measured is made of white ceramic [an aluminum vapor deposition surface reflection mirror was used HL-C201F(E)] and digital measurement values.
3) Measuring range at sampling periods of 20 μs and 10 μs is as follows.

4) The P-P value for the deviation in the digital measurement values at the measurement center range has been converted for the measurement center distance.
5) Indicates error with respect to the ideal linear values for digital displacement output when standard objects were measured by SUNX. It may vary depending on the types of objects being measured.
6) This beam diameter is the size at the measurement center distance. These values were defined by using 1/e2 (13.5 %) of the center light intensity. If there is a slight leakage of light outside the normal spot diameter and if the periphery surrounding the sensing point has a higher reflectivity than the sensing point itself, then the results may be affected.
