*1.The repeat accuracy and temperature characteristic are for a standard sensing object positioned midway through the rated sensing distance.

*2.A sudden temperature rise even within the rated temperature range may degrade characteristics.

*3.For the Sensor Head only without the preamplifier (?10 to 60°C). With no icing or condensation.

*4.Do not operate in areas exposed to water vapor because the enclosure is not waterproof.
