TL-Q Rectangular Model Model C D TL-Q2 30 mm (1.18 in) 90 mm (3.54 in) TL-Q2j5 8 mm (0.32 in) 45 mm (1.77 in) Thin Models 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.
