If more than one Proximity Sensor is installed face to face or

in parallel, ensure that the distances between two Units adja-

cent to each other are the same as or larger than the corre-

sponding values shown in the following table.

CHANGE IN SPECIFICATIONS

Product specifications and accessories may be changed at any time
based on improvements and other reasons.

It is our practice to change model numbers when published ratings or
features are changed, or when significant construction changes are
