Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and distance to the object or
background and the remission capability of the object according to the corresponding dia‐
gram
[see figure
10] (x = sensing range, y = monitored area between the set sensing range
and background suppression as a % of the sensing range (object remission/background
remission)). Remission: 6% = black 1, 18% = gray 2, 90% = white 3 (referring to stan‐
dard white as per DIN 5033). We recommend making the adjustments using an object with
a low remission.
The minimum distance (= y) for background suppression can be determined from diagram
[
see figure 10
1] as follows:
Example: x = 150 mm, y = 20 => 20% of 150 mm = 30 mm. That is, the background is
suppressed at a distance of > 180 mm from the sensor.
