Sensitivity Adjustment
Please turn potention VR to set sensitivity as below procedure.
1. Without a sensing object, turn the potention VR to the right
and stop at the proximity sensor is ON (OFF).
Stop at ON (OFF) position
3. If the difference of the number of potention VR rotation
between the ON (OFF) point and the OFF (ON) point is
more than 1.5 turns, the sensing operation will be stable.
2. Put the object in right sensing position, turn the potention
VR to the left and stop at the proximity sensor is OFF (ON).
Stop at OFF(ON) position
4. If it is set in sensitivity adjustment position of potention
VR at center between 1 and 2, sensitivity setting will be
completed.
It is stable when it is
over 1.5 turns

※When there is distance fluctuation between proximity sensor and the target, please adjust 2 at the farthest distance from
this unit.
※Turning potention VR toward clockwise, it will be max., or turning toward counter clockwise, it will be min. The number of
adjustment should be 15±3 revolution and if it is turned to the right or left excessively, it will not stop, but it idles without
breakdown.
※( ) is for Normally closed type.
Grounding
The sensing distance will be changed by grounding status of capacitive proximity sensor and the target[50×50×1mm(Iron)].
Please check the material when installing the sensor and selecting the target.

Mutual-Interference & Influence by Surrounding Metals
When several proximity sensors are mounted closely, malfunction of sensor may be caused due to mutual interference.
Therefore, be sure to keep a minimum distance between the two sensors as below charts.

Materials
Materials of sensing targets
Sensing distance may be different by electrical characteristic of sensing target (conductivity, non dielectric constant)
and status of water absorption, size etc.
Effect by high frequency electrical field
It may cause malfunction by machinery which generate high frequency of electrical field such as a washing machine etc.
Surrounding environment
There is water or oil on surface of sensing part, it may cause malfunction.
If the bottle for sensing of level is coated by oil etc., it may cause malfunction.
Especially, 15mm type has high sensitivity for induced objects, please be careful of waterdrops.
Organic solvents
Do not let the oil or oil liquid is flowed into the sensor because the case is made by plastic.
