Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.
2) To mount the long sensing range GXL-15FLU/15HLU type on a magnetic body, such as iron, the enclosed aluminum sheet, or any other aluminum sheet having a minimum size of 30 x 39.5 x t 0.3 mm 1.181 x 1.555 x t 0.012 in (GXL-15HLU type: 30 x 30 x t 0.3 mm 1.181 x 1.181 x t 0.012 in), should be inserted between the sensor and the magnetic body.
However, it is not necessary to use the aluminum sheet when mounting on a non-magnetic body, such as, aluminum or an insulator.
3) The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation.
4) It is the leakage current when the output is in the OFF state.
5) The maximum load current varies with the ambient temperature.
6) When the cable is extended, the residual voltage becomes larger according to the resistance of the cable.
The residual voltage of 5 m 16.404 ft cable length type increases by +0.1 V.
7) The flexible cable type (model No. with suffix "-R") has a 0.15 mm2 (GXL-15 type: 0.2 mm2) flexible, oil, heat and cold resistant cabtyre cable, 1 m 3.281 ft long.
