* Position of the target body in the upper surface detection models.
- When there is metal around the proximity sensor, the operating distance changes and makes operation unstable. Therefore, place the surrounding metal as remotely as possible from the proximity sensor.
- Since the D dimension (mm) is the minimum value from the proximity sensor's detector surface to the surrounding metal body, place the metal more remotely than the numeric values shown in the table above.
