## **Adjustment Guide** 

The environments in which capacitive sensors are installed can often be unstable regarding temperature, humidity, object distance and industrial (noise) interference. Because of this, Carlo Gavazzi offers as standard features in all _TRIPLESHIELD_ ™capacitive sensors a user-friendly sensitivity adjustment instead of having a fixed sensing range, extended sensing range to accom- 

modate mechanically demanding areas, temperature stability to ensure minimum need for adjusting sensitivity if temperature varies and high immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI). 

## **Note:** 

Sensors are factory set (default) to maximum rated sensing range.
