Sensing range
Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and distance to the object
or background and the remission capability of the object according to the correspond‐
ing diagram [see figure 6 and figure 7] (x = sensing range, y = minimum distance
between set sensing range and background (white 90%)). Remission: 6% = black 1,
18% = gray 2, 90% = white 3 (referring to standard white as per DIN 5033). We rec‐
ommend making the adjustments using an object with a low remission.
The minimum distance (= y) for background suppression can be determined from dia‐
gram [figure 61] as follows:
Example: x = 200 mm, y = 15 mm. That is, the background (white, 90%) is suppressed
at a distance of > 15 mm from the sensor.
