Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.
2) The stable sensing range represents the sensing range for which the sensor can satisfy all the given specifications with the standard sensing object. The maximum operation distance represents the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object at +20 ℃ +68 ℉ constant ambient temperature.
Usage within the stable sensing range is recommended for accurate sensing applications.
3) The hysteresis and the repeatability are specified for the standard sensing object within the stable sensing range.
4) The value represents the variation in the operation distance, that has been set within the stable sensing range at +20 ℃ +68 ℉, for an ambient temperature drift from 0 to +55 ℃ +32 to +131 ℉. (Values are for sensor head only.)
5) The length of the sensor head cable cannot be changed.
