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 interference. Select this type when mounting two or more proximity sensors close to each other.

Tighten the screw to the torque shown below. Allowable tightening torque Recommended screw diameter 0.5N-m M2.6 • Influence of surrounding metal Metal other than the object surrounding the sensor may influence operating characteristics. Maintain the following space between the sensor and surrounding metal: Side (mm) Top (mm) A=3 B=8, C=10 Side sensing type Top sensing type Side sensing type Facing each other isolation A (mm) B (mm) Side sensing type 20(0) 40(10) Top sensing type 20(0) 40(10) • Operation at power ON After the power is turned ON, it takes 40ms or less until the proximity sensor is ready for sensing. When the load and the proximity sensor use different power supplies, be sure to turn the proximity sensor ON before turning the load ON. • Minimum cord bending radius (R) Top sensing type The minimum bending radius (R) of the cord is 10mm. Take care not to excessively bend the cord beyond this radius. Also, do not excessively bend the cord within 30mm of the cord lead-in port. • Mutual interference prevention When mounting proximity sensors in parallel or facing each other, mutual interference may cause the sensor to malfunction. Maintain at least the spaces indicated in the figures above. When alternately mounting standard-frequency types and different-frequency types (Catalog listing APM- 3 1F) in a row, maintain at least the space indicated by the figure in parentheses for both dimensions A and B.
