Enclosure type 1.
The GRTE18 is an opto-electronic photoelectric proximity sensor (referred to as "sensor"
in the following) for the optical, non-contact detection of objects, animals, and persons.
If the product is used for any other purpose or modified in any way, any warranty claim
against SICK AG shall become void.
Energetic photoelectric proximity sensor
Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and the remission capability
of the object according to the corresponding diagram [H] (x = sensing range, y =
operating reserve).
During this process, an object can only be detected in front of a background if the
remission capability of the object is significantly higher than that of the background or if
the distance between the object and the background is sufficiently long.
