Detection Area Diagram (Typical Example)

With Default Settings (Mode 1)

Detectable object: Iron

With Default Settings (Mode 1)

Detectable object: Aluminium

With Distance Switching (Mode 2)

Detectable object: Iron

With Distance Switching (Mode 2)

Detectable object: Aluminium

Variation of Detecting Distance According to the Size and Material of the Detectable Object (Typical Example)

With Default Settings (Mode 1)

With Distance Switching (Mode 2)

Effect of Thickness and Material of Detectable Object (Typical Example)

The detecting distance varies according to the detectable object material, size, and thickness. The detecting distance can be checked using a detectable object by multiplying the detecting distance Y (mm inch) in the “Variation of detecting distance according to the size and material of the detectable object” characteristic diagram by the coefficient in the following characteristic diagram.

Quick-Swap Bracket

The detecting distance decreases when using the Quick-Swap Bracket. The detecting distance also changes with flush installations depending on the material of the surrounding metal. Use the following factors multiplied by the detecting distance in the specifications as a guide.

How To Read Detection Area Diagrams

The following shows the position of the ON point when the standard detectable object (specified in the specifications) is moved parallel to the sensor in the direction of the arrow.
