• The reflectance may vary depending on the operating environment for the sensors.

15.4 9.5 13.7 4.8 cloth.
• Do not press or damage the surface of the retroreflective tape.
■ Cautions during Installation • Regularly clean the tape to maintain optimal performance, using only neutral
detergents. Do not use chemical solvents.
• Select a reflector size that is suitable for the installation space and operating
environment of the sensors.
• In general, a bigger size of the reflector results in a longer sensing distance.
• Reflectors with high reflectivity increase the sensing distance compared to typical
reflectors.
• The reflectance may vary depending on the operating environment for the sensors.
