NX PRECAUTIS FOR PROPER USE Retroreflective type sensor (NX-RM7 ) Please take care of the following points when detecting materials having a gloss. 1 Make, shown in the diagram, sufficiently long. 2 Install at an angle of to 3 degrees to the sensing object. m NX-PRVM does not need the above adjustment. Make sufficiently long Sensing object to 3 Glossy surface Retroreflective type sensor with polarizing filters (NX-PRVM ) If a shiny object is covered or wrapped with a transparent film, such as those described below, the retroreflective type sensor with polarizing filters may not be able to detect it. In that case, follow the steps given below. Example of sensing objects Can wrapped by clear film Aluminum sheet covered by plastic film Gold or silver color (specular) label or wrapping paper Steps Tilt the sensor with respect to the sensing object while fitting. Reduce the sensitivity. Increase the distance between the sensor and the sensing object.
