2)  The sensing range and the sensing object of the retroreflective type sensor are specified for the 

RF-230

 reflector. The sensing range represents the 

actual sensing range of the sensor. The sensing range : A of the table below may vary depending on the shape of sensing object. Be sure to check the 

operation with the actual sensing object.
