Note:
Different-frequency types also available for all models. These types are appended with the letter ‘‘
-F’’ is used.
Example: Different-frequency type of
APM-C3A1 is expressed as APM-C3A1F.
‘‘Different-frequency type’’ is a type having an oscillation frequency different to that of the standard type to reduce the influence of mutual inter-
ference. Select this type when mounting two or more proximity sensors close to each other.
