Electromagnetic Resistance Test
Large current from welding generates magnetic field which can affect the proximity sensor to malfunction due to noise.
This product, however, can be used near strong noise without malfunctioning, thanks to excellent electromagnetic resistance.
This test is conducted in the environment of welding.

※When using PRFW Series in the environment of welding, use the
spatter-resistant protection cover.
The protection cover is sold separately. Refer to the 'Proper Usage'
in (F) Proximity Sensors for usage of the protection cover.

Effect of Aluminum Scraps
When aluminum scraps are attached or stacked at sensing side, the proximity sensor does not detect and sensing signal is OFF.
However, the below cases may occur to sensing signal. In this case, remove the scraps.

※1: Use accessories (nut, washer) made of SUS. Or, sensing distance cannot be guaranteed.
※2: The response frequency is the average value. The standard sensing target is used and the width is set as 2 times of the standard
sensing target, 1/2 of the sensing distance for the distance.
※3: Do not pull the Ø4mm cable with a tensile strength of 30N or over and the Ø5mm cable with a tensile strength of 50N or over.
It may result in fire due to the broken wire. When extending wire, use AWG22 cable or over within 200m.
※4: The weight includes packaging. The weight in parenthesis is for unit only.
※Environment resistance is rated at no freezing or condensation.

Please make the current on proximity sensor smaller than the return current of load by connecting a bleeder resistor in
parallel.
※W value of Bleeder resistor should be bigger for proper heat dissipation.
Mutual-interference & Influence by surrounding metals
When several proximity sensors are mounted close to one another a malfunction of the may be caused due to mutual
interference. Therefore, be sure to keep a minimum distance between the two sensors as below chart indicates.

Face to Face
When sensors are mounted on metallic panel, it is required to protect the sensors from being affected by any metallic
object except target. Therefore, be sure to provide a minimum distance as below chart indicates.
