FAQ
Q1. What is background suppression sensing?
It detects objects at a fixed distance and ignores objects or backgrounds beyond that range.
Q2. What is the sensing distance of this model?
Fixed at 100 mm, independent of background distance.
Q3. Is this sensor affected by object color?
No, BGS sensing minimizes the effect of color and reflectivity.
Q4. Is this an NPN or PNP sensor?
This model has NPN open-collector output.
Q5. Is it suitable for harsh industrial environments?
Yes, it has IP67 protection and industrial-grade construction.
