Surface Mounting
Surface mounting will not affect a sensor’s calibration assuming there is
nothing conductive in the sensor’s “viewing range” other than the target.
When surface mounting in a conductive fixture, the sensor face of an
unshielded sensor should be 2.5 to 3 times its diameter away from the
fixture. The factor for shielded sensors is 0.25 to 0.5 times the diameter.
