* With standard sensing object
Variation at the maximum operation distance is within ±8 %
Temperature characteristics vary within ±8 %
Thorough adjustment and control of sensing sensitivity
greatly reduces individual sensor differences and
variations.
The work of adjusting sensor positions when using
multiple sensors and when sensors have been replaced
is much easier.
Components such as the sensor coil and core and
product design have been totally revised to provide
excellent temperature characteristics.
Stable sensing can be obtained regardless of the time of
day or the yearly season.
