Note: Mount such that the nuts do not protrude from the threaded portion.
• The root truncation of the threads is shallow owing to
strengthening of the sensors against tightening.
When tapping holes on equipment to fix the sensors, the
prepared holes must be value in the table below.

Embedding of the sensor in metal
• Sensing range may decrease if the sensor is completely
embedded in metal. Especially for the non-threaded type
and the non-shielded type, keep the minimum distance
specified in the table below.
