Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
The measuring controller is integrated into the sensor housing. Power and an analog-output connection are still required; connector versions need the matching cable.
No. The catalogue distinguishes a 75 kHz analog-output update rate from a 5 kHz frequency response at −3 dB.
No. U8 has a 0.8 mm start offset, giving a 0.8–8.8 mm measurement interval and an 8 mm net span.
They identify target-material calibrations: A for aluminum and M for steel. Changing material requires a suitable calibration, not one universal metal characteristic.
No. Minimum target diameter is 48 mm for U2/U4 and 72 mm for U6/U8. Check material and distance as well.
