      T30RW R-GAGE Washdown Radar Sensor Instruction Manual T30RW Overview  The T30RW is an industrial radar sensor that uses high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. It detects high- dielectric targets, such as metal or large amounts of water, and lower-dielectric materials, such as wood, rock, or organic material. The sensor can be configured with software, IO-Link, or remote input wires to sense objects up to a specific distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (background suppression).

It considers that point as the 20 mA spot and sets the 4 mA spot at 300 mm. If a taught point is within the dead zone, the sensor sets that point at 300 mm. ...
