3) The sensing range and the hysteresis of RX2-D300 are specified for white non-glossy paper (200 × 200 mm 7.874 × 7.874 in) as the object.
4) If slit masks (optional) are fitted, an object of 0.5 × 5 mm 0.020 × 0.197 in can be detected.
5) Make sure to confirm detection with an actual sensor before use.
6) It is the leakage current when the output is in the OFF state.
7) When extending the cable, the residual voltage will be increased depending on the type of cable used. Verify the residual voltage when extending the
cable.

Conditions for the load
1) T
he load should not be actuated by the leakage current (1 mA; 0.8 mA
for receiver of thru-beam type sensor) in the OFF state.
2) T
he load should be actuated by (supply voltage – 4 V) in the ON state.
3) The current in the ON state should be between 5 to 100 mA DC.
In case the current is less than 5 mA, connect a bleeder
resistance in parallel to the load (shown in dotted line above) so
that a current of 5 mA, or more, flows.

• Always connect the sensor to the power supply through
a load. If the sensor is connected to the power supply
directly, the short-circuit protection makes the sensor
inoperable. (The output stays in the OFF state and no
indicator lights up.) If this happens, connect the sensor to
the power supply through a load.
Further, note that the sensor will be damaged if the
power supply is connected in reverse without a load.
