The displayed value is a reference value obtained by converting the distance between the workpiece and the de-
tection surface into a digital numerical value, it is not displayed in units.
For details, refer to “Relationship between Displayed Value and Distance” on page 7.
Rated detection distance range: Detection distance within which the product meets the specifications.
Displayable/Settable range: It is possible to display or set values, but it is not guaranteed to meet the specifications.

Response Time
Response time is the elapsed time between the pressure supply and the turning ON of the switch output.
The response time varies depending on the piping length from the OUT port to the detection nozzle, and the seating condition of the workpiece.
The graphs below show the response time when the workpiece is approached at 90% distance and 0% distance (close contact). (∗: The switch
point is 100% distance.)
(Example: When the switch point is set to 0.1 mm, the response time when the workpiece is at 0.09 mm and 0 mm are measured.)
