SENSING CHARACTERISTICS (TYPICAL)
GX-8 type
As the sensing object size becomes smaller than
the standard size (iron sheet 15 × 15 × t 1 mm
0.591 × 0.591 × t 0.039 in), the sensing range
shortens as shown in the left gure.
As the sensing object size becomes smaller than
the standard size (iron sheet 12 × 12 × t 1 mm
0.472 × 0.472 × t 0.039 in), the sensing range
shortens as shown in the left gure.
