## **Legend:** - x: Sensing range max. in mm (adjustment range background) - = Distance sensor / background - y: Sensing range in mm (detection range object) - = Maximum distance sensor / front edge of the object Minimum distance sensor / background : 150 mm* - *) Referring to the background with 90 % remission equivalent to standard white DIN 5033 (i.e. glass-bead blasted stainless steel). The use of a shiny background can increase the minimum distance to the background (i.e. brushed and pickled stainless steel, minimum distance sensor to background: 300 mm). ## **How to use this diagram:** Measure the distance from the sensor to the metal surface in the background. This is the value for x (adjustment range background). If this is 500 mm for example, the maximum distance between the sensor and the leading edge of a transparent object is 300 mm. **4** **Product data sheet | 2023-04-25 20:28:06 Subject to change without notice** **PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS | SICK** **WTF12G-3N2432 | TranspaTect** MULTITASK PHOTOELECTRIC SENSORS ## Adjustments **==> picture [74 x 144] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
