Precautions
Effects of Surrounding Metals
Mutual Interference
Provide a minimum distance as shown in the table below between
the TL-W and the surrounding metals to prevent the TL-W from being induced by the metals and malfunctioning or being affected by
the heat radiated by the metals.
Be sure to space the two sensors at a distance greater than that
shown in the table to prevent mutual interference.
