If the TL-G3D-3 is in high-speed response operation with a toothed metal plate, be sure that the target object size is as large as or larger than the standard object size and that the target objects are separated enough from one another. 

The response frequency obtainable when the following toothed metal plate is used will be 1 kHz or higher. If the metal plate is smaller with shorter teeth and narrow adjacent space, the response frequency will decrease.

The sensing distance decreases with non-ferrous metal. Refer to Target Object Size and Material vs. Sensing Distance (Typical) in Engineering Data. If the target is a metal foil that is as thin or thinner than 0.01 mm, there will be little difference in sensing distance between the metal foil and ferrous metal. If the target is, however, extremely thin (e.g., metal-coating film) or not conductive, the object will not be detected.
