*Because there is no reverse connection protection diode built-in, pay careful attentionto the polarity of the power supply.
Precautions During Use
Influence of Surrounding Metal
If there are metals present near the inductive sensor, keep them away from and beneath the plane of the sensor detection surface at a minimum of the values specified in the figure below.

Mutual Interference

Mounting
Always use plain washers to tighten the case and use a torque of 1.2 N·m or less.
Other
See inductive sensor general Precautions During Use for other precautions.
