When using DC or AC 2-wire type proximity sensor, the load must be connected, otherwise internal components may be
damaged. The load can be connected to either wire.

Mutual-interference & Influence by surrounding metals

When several proximity sensors are mounted close to one another a malfunction of the may be caused due to mutual
interference. Therefore, be sure to keep a minimum distance between the two sensors as below chart indicates.

A
Face to Face

When sensors are mounted on metallic panel, it is required to protect the sensors from being affected by any metallic
object except target. Therefore, be sure to provide a minimum distance as below chart indicates.
