Clamping torque
•
Be sure to use the supplied toothed lock
washer when mounting the sensor.
•
Do not tighten the sensor’s mounting
screw with a clamping torque higher than
the following values.
Wiring
•
Separate the wirings of the sensor cable
from power lines and high-tension lines;
Otherwise, the sensor may be caused to
malfunction by noise.
•
To extend the wiring, use a cable whose
diameter is almost the same as that of
the sensor cord.
Mutual interference
To install plural proximity sensors of the
same model face to face or side by side,
provide the minimum distance indicated in
this table between the sensors.

Do not use this product for
the purpose of protecting the
human body.
