The refractive index needs to be corrected in the controller for an exact distance or thickness measurement. Only
air may be present between the sensor face and the measuring object (
Material Infront
); other media such as
water or alcohol are not permissible.

peaks, but the controller does not evaluate them. For the sake of clarity, thickness peaks are marked with letters.
