2. The size of standard sensing object is the same as the fiber core diameter (lens diameter for models with lens). 3. The values for the minimum sensing object are representative values that indicate values obtained in standard mode with the sensing dis- tance and sensitivity set to optimum values.

2. The values for the minimum sensing object are representative values that indicate values obtained in standard mode with the sensing dis- tance and sensitivity set to optimum values. 3. When set to the maximum sensitivity setting, internal light reflection may cause the sensor to detect incident light. In such case, use adjust the threshold either manually or using teaching.
