Cautions and Warnings
SET-UP DISTANCE ADJUSTMENT:
As a general rule, the sensor should be fixed at a 15° to 20° angle from directly perpendicular to the
target surface. This will prevent direct reflected signal from glossy surfaces.
To obtain maximum tolerance to distance variation, place the target at the greatest distance it is likely
to be in the application, for example, flat against a guide surface. Carefully adjust the sensor distance
to obtain the highest reading on the white background and note the reading. Now move it slightly
further away, to get approximately 5% lower reading and fix sensor at that distance. This will allow the
target to move closer, back to the highest reading, then closer still down to 5% lower. The result
should be a minimum of 2mm of allowable flutter with <5% change in reading.
CAUTION:
The discrete output must not be connected to outputs from other sensors (i.e. outputs
from multiple sensors must not be connected in parallel). Parallel connections may
damage sensor output circuitry.
CAUTION:
Sensor is not suitable for wash down or hazardous environments; a separate enclosure
with the appropriate ratings is recommended for these applications"
