note 1 :Where measurement conditions have not been specified precisely, the conditions used were an ambient temperature of +23 ℃ +73.4 ℉.

note 2 :The sensing range and the sensing object for the retroreflective type sensor are specified for the RF-230 reflector. Further, the sensing range is the possible setting range for the reflector. The sensor can detect an object less than 0.1 m 0.328 ft (VF-PRM3: 0.2 m 0.656 ft) away.

note 3 :The sensing range and the hysteresis of the diffuse reflective type sensor are specified for white non-glossy paper (200 x 200 mm 7.874 x 7.874 in) as the object.

note 4 :If slit masks (optional) are fitted, even an object of 3 x 6 mm 0.118 x 0.236 in can be detected.

note 5 :Make sure to confirm detection with an actual sensor before use.
