▣Sensitivity adjustment
Please turn potentiometer and sequence as below procedure. (A)
Counter

q Without any target in front of the sensing head,
turn the sensitivity potentiometer clockwise until
the proximity sensor turns on.
w With a target in front of the sensing head, turn
the sensitivity counter clock wise from the ON
position stated in 1 until the proximty sensor (B)

▣Mutual-interference & Influence by surrounding metals
When several proximity sensors are mounted close together, malfunction of sensor may be caused due to
mutual interference. Therefore, be sure to provide a minimum distance between the two sensors, as below
charts.

B 54 90
Face to Face

Parallel

When sensors are mounted on metallic panel, you must prevent the sensors from being affected by any
metallic object except target. Therefore, provide minimum distance as shown.

▣Materials
◎Materials of detecting targets
Detecting distance may be different by electrical characteristic of detecting target(Conductivity, Non dielectric
constant)and status of water absorption, size etc.

◎Effect by high frequency electrical field

It may cause malfunction by machinery which generate high frequency electrical field such as a washing
machine etc.

◎Surrounding evironment
There is water or oil on surface of detecting part, it may cause malfunction.
And if the bottle for level detecting is coated by oil etc., it may cause malfunction .
Especially 15mm type has high sensitivity for induced objects, please be sure it is not coated.

◎Oils
Do not let the 18mm sensor touch oils because the case is made of plastic.
