Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F.
2) Please take care that the sensing range of the free-cut type fiber may be reduced by 20 % max. depending upon how the fiber is cut.
3) The sensing range and the hysteresis of reflecfive type are specified for white non-glossy paper (15 x 15 mm 0.591 x 0.591 in) as the object.
4) The minimum sensing object size of reflecfive type is the value for type at maximum sensitivity. Also, note that the corresponding setting distance is different from the rated sensing distance.
5) Two fibers make up one set for the FT-FM2. However, when using it together with the LED sensing type (FX2-A3R-LED), only one fiber is used.
6) The fiber attachment is not used with the FX2 series.

Notes:
1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F.
2) This is the value when the combination fiber has been attached. However, the value is IP65 when combined with the free-cut type fiber.
3) The voltage withstandability and the insulation resistance values given in the above table are for the amplifier only.
