The sensing G Influence of Surrounding Metal distance of the E2KQ-X, however, will vary with the electrical (Unit: mm) characteristics of the object, such as the conductance and inductance of the object, and the water content and capacity of the Model Dimension G H object. The maximum sensing distance of the E2KQ-X will be E2KQ-X10ME@ 30 35 H obtained if the object is made of grounded metal. • There are objects that cannot be detected indirectly. Therefore, be sure to test the E2KQ-X in a trial operation with the objects before using the E2KQ-X in actual applications. 3 E2KQ-X ● Miscellaneous Environment The E2KQ-X is of water-resistant construction. To increase the Ambient Environment reliability of the E2KQ-X in operation, however, it is recommended The Sensor may malfunction if subjected to water, oil, chemicals, or that the E2KQ-X be protected with an appropriate cover so that the condensation by falsely detecting these as sensing objects. E2KQ-X will be free from sprayed water or machining oil. The cable is not coated with Fluororesin, which must be taken into consideration when installing the E2KQ-X.
