Mutual-Interference
Mutual interference & Influence by surrounding Metals
Mutual-interference
- When several proximity sensors are mounted closely, malfunction of sensor may be caused due to mutual interference.
- Therefore, be sure to provide a minimum distance between the two sensors with referring to the chart below.
Influence by surrounding metals
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.
Setting distance
- Sensing distance can be changed by the shape, size or material of the target.
- Therefore please check the sensing distance like (a), then pass the target within range of setting distance(Sa).
Setting distance(Sa)
- Sensing distance(Sn) x 70%
- Ex)PRDCM18-7DN
- Setting distance(Sa) = 7mm x 0.7 = 4.9mm
Caution for using
- This equipment shall not be used outdoors or beyond specified temperature range.
- Do not apply over tensile strength of cord. ( ¢ 4: max. 30N, ¢ 5: max. SON)
- Do not use the same conduit with cord of this unit and electric power line or power line.
- Do not put overload to tighten nut, please use the supplied washer for tightening.
- [Table 1]
- Note 1: Allowable tightening torque of a nut may be different by the distance from the head. For allowable tightening torque and the range of front and rear parts, refer to [Table 1] and above [Picture 1] respectively. The rear part includes a nut on the head side(see above [Picture 1]). Please apply a tightening torque of the front part when the nut on the front is located in the front part.
- Note 2: The allowable tightening torque denotes a torque value when using a provided washer as above [Picture 2].
- [Table 1]
- Please check the voltage changes of power source in order not to excess the rated power input.
- Do not use this unit during transient time(BOms) after apply power.
- It might result in damage to this product, if use automatic transformer. So please use insulated transformer.
- Please make wire as short as possible in order to avoid noise.
- Be sure to use cable as indicated specification on this product. If wrong cable or bended cable is used, it shall not maintain the water-proof.
- 0.3mm’ or larger cable can be extended up to 200m.
- If the target is plated, the operating distance can be changed by the plating material.
- It may result in malfunction by metal particle on product.
- If there are machines(motor, welding, etc.), which occurs big surge around this unit, please install the varistor or absorber to source of surge, even though there is built-in surge absorber in this unit.
- If connecting the load with big inrush current(DC type bulb, etc.) to this unit, the big inrush current will flow because the initial resistance is low. If the current flows, the resistance of load will be bigger, then it will return to standard current. In this case, proximity sensor might be damaged by inrush current. If you use DC type bulb, please connect extra relay or resistance in order to protect proximity sensor from.
- When the transceiver is attached to the proximity sensor or close to the wires, it may cause a malfunction.
It may cause malfunction if above instructions are not followed.
