◎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.

Face to Face
Parallel
When sensors are mounted on metallic panel, you must prevent sensors from being affected by any
metallic object except target. Therefore, be sure to provide a minimum distance as below chart.
