Notes: 1) Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73 °F.
2) “ I ” in the model No. indicates a different frequency type.
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) This is the numerical value which the sensor mount onto an insulant plate. When mounted onto a steel or stainless steel plate, insert the optional
aluminum sheet between the sensor and the plate.
5) This is the numerical value which the sensor mount onto an insulant plate. When mounted onto a metallic plate, max. response frequency will decrease.

1 Immerse at 0 m below 0 °C +32 °F water surface and leave for 30 min. Then, immerse at 0 m below +70 °C +158 °F water surface and leave for 30 min.
2 Regard the heat shock test in 1 as one cycle and perform 20 cycles.
3 Leave in water at a depth of 1 m 3.281 ft in water for 500 hours.
4 After tests 1 to 3 , insulation resistance, voltage withstandability, current consumption, and sensing range must meet the standard values.
7) If using the sensor in an environment where cutting oil droplets splatter, the sensor may be deteriorated due to added substances in the oil.
