Notes: 1)
Where measurement conditions have not been specied precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 °C +73.4 °F.
2) “I” in the model No. indicates a different frequency type.
3)
The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if
there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage uctuation.
4) SUNX’s IP68 test method
1
Immerse at 0 m below 0 °C +32 °F water surface and leave for 30 min. Then, immerse at 0 m
below +70 °C +158 °F water surface and leave for 30 min.
2
Regard the heat shock test in
1
as one cycle and perform 20 cycles.
3
Leave in water at a depth of 1 m 3.281 ft in water for 500 hours.
4
After tests
1
to
3
, insulation resistance, voltage withstandability, current consumption, and
sensing range must meet the standard values.
5)
If using the sensor in an environment where cutting oil droplets splatter, the sensor may be deteriorated due to added substances in the oil.
