GX-F15/H15 GX-F(L)15(-P) GX-H(L)15(-P) Previous model Strong against vibration or shock! With the new integrated construction method, the sensors was able to clear endurance tests of shock resistance of 10,000 m/s2 acceleration (1,000 G approx. in X, Y and Z directions for three times each), and vibration resistance of 10 to 500 Hz frequency [3 mm 0.118 in (20 G max.) amplitude in X, Y and Z directions for two hours each]. Close mounting of two sensors Different frequency type is available so that two sensors can be mounted closely together. Mounting holes with metal sleeves for secure tightening The mounting holes have metal sleeves inserted to prevent damage to the sensor due to over tightening.

The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation. 4) This is when mounted onto an insulant plate. When mounted onto a steel or stainless steel plate, insert the optional aluminum sheet between the sensor and the plate. 5) This is when mounted onto an insulant plate. When mounted onto a metallic plate, max. response frequency will decrease. 6) SUNX's IP68 test method Immerse at 0 m below 0 C +32 F water surface and leave for 30 min. Then, immerse at 0 m below +70 C +158 F water surface and leave for 30 min. Regard the heat shock test in as one cycle and perform 20 cycles. Leave in water at a depth of 1 m 3.281 ft in water for 500 hours. After tests to , insulation resistance, voltage withstandability, current consumption, and sensing range must meet the standard values. 7) If using the sensor in an environment where cutting oil droplets splatter, the sensor may be deteriorated due to added substances in the oil. Cable length 5 m 16.404 ft type (standard is 1 m 3.281 ft) and flexible cable (excluding cable length 5 m type) are available. However, long sensing range type is not available. When ordering cable length 5 m 16.404 ft type, suffix "-C5" to the model No. When ordering flexible cable type, suffix "-R" to the model No. (e.g.) 0.5m 1.640 ft cable length type of GX-F15AI-P is "GX-F15AI-P-C5". Flexible cable type of GX-F15AI-P is "GX-F15AI-P-R".
