FAQ
Q1. What does “5M” indicate in this model?
It indicates a maximum sensing distance of up to 5 meters.
Q2. What is background suppression sensing?
It detects objects within a defined range and ignores background reflections beyond that distance.
Q3. Is detection affected by object color or reflectivity?
No, BGS technology minimizes color and reflectivity effects.
Q4. Is this model NPN or PNP?
This variant provides NPN open-collector output.
Q5. Is it suitable for harsh industrial environments?
Yes. IP67 protection and metal housing make it suitable for demanding conditions.
