*1 The repeat accuracy and temperature characteristic are for a standard sensing object positioned midway through the
      rated sensing distance.
*2 A sudden temperature rise even within the rated temperature range may degrade characteristics.
*3 For the Sensor Head only without the preamplifier (−10 to 60°C). With no icing or condensation.
*4 Do not operate in areas exposed to water vapor because the enclosure is not waterproof.

Zero-reset Negative values can be displayed.
Zero-reset is accompanied by a change of detection distance.
After zero-reset, some threshold level may also cause a change of the indication by
influence of other settings.
