Part Number MQ-W3A-DC12-24V Sensing distance (rated) 40 mm 1.575 in with white non-glossy paper (10 x 10 mm 0.394 x 0.394 in) Setting range (optimum) 20 to 40 mm 0.787 to 1.575 in with white non-glossy paper (10 x 10 mm 0.394 x 0.394 in) Sensing object Opaque or translucent object (Note) Make sure to confirm detection with an actual sensor before use. Hysteresis 10 % or less of operation distance (with standard sensing object) (Note) This value is from the sensing distance (rated). The standard sensing object is non-glossy paper described in the "Sensing distance (rated)" item.
