As the sensing object size becomes smaller than
the standard size (iron sheet 30 × 30 × t 1 mm
1.181 × 1.181 × t 0.039 in), the sensing range
shortens as shown in the left figure.

UNITS
• Never use this product as a sensing device
for personnel protection.
• In case of using sensing devices for
personnel protection, use products which
meet laws and standards, such as OSHA,
ANSI or IEC etc., for personnel protection
applicable in each region or country.
Mounting
GX-8 type
• Make sure to use a M3
(length: 12 mm 0.472 in or
more) truss head screw.
The tightening torque
should be 0.7 N·m or less.
Do not use a flat head
screw or a pan head
screw.

or stainless steel plate, put
the optional aluminum sheet
in between the sensor and
the plate.
