**TL-N** 

**TL-N** 

## Precautions 

## **WARNINGS** 

Do not short-circuit the load, to avoid damaging the TL-N. 

Do not supply power to the TL-N with no load, or the TL-N may be damaged. 

Applicable Models: AC 2-wire models 

## **EFFECTS OF SURROUNDING METALS** 

When the TL-N is surrounded by metal, keep the following distances as a minimum between the TL-N and the metal. (Refer to the table below.) 

## **Minimum Distances for Surrounding Metals**

Note: The figures are applicable for one metal object, or the figure must be multiplied by the number of metal objects. 

## **MUTUAL INTERFERENCE** 

When two or more Sensors are mounted face-to-face or side-by-side, keep them separated at the following distances or greater. (Refer to the next two tables.) 

## **Side-by-Side** 

**Face-to-Face** 

## **Same Frequency Type**

## � **MOUNTING** 

Make sure that each screw is tightened with a torque within a range of 9.3 to 15 kgf � cm (0.9 to 1.5 N � m) 0.66 to 1.11 ft � lbf. 

## **NOTE: DIMENSIONS SHOWN ARE IN MILLIMETERS. To convert millimeters to inches divide by 25.4.**

Stock Shortage Specialist

When a component is unavailable, discontinued or has an unacceptable lead time, we tap into our network of vetted European and Asian distributors to source what you need — without compromising on quality or traceability.

Compliant Alternatives

We identify pin-to-pin, electrically equivalent substitutes that meet the same certifications (RoHS, AEC-Q100, REACH) as your original specification — validated against datasheets, not just part numbers. Often at a lower cost.
