Suitability for Use

The following external influences affect inductive sensors:

• Electromagnetic fields
• Cross-talk caused by electromagnetic fields
• Material-related influences that contribute to detection fluctuations
• Size of objects being detected
• Coil size
• Passing speed
• High and low temperatures 
• Humidity (rainwater, splashing water, relative humidity)
• Pressure, heat, dirt, etc.

Accordingly, the installation and ambient conditions and any normative requirements must be taken into account for reliable operation of inductive sensors.
