Notes:

1) The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
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.
2) The PNP output, normally open type models [GX-3□M(K)-A-P(-□)] are compatible with IO-Link.
The PNP output, normally closed type models and all NPN output type models do not support IO-Link.

Notes :

1) The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
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.
2) The PNP output, normally open type models [GX-3□ML(K)-A-P(-□)] are compatible with IO-Link.
The PNP output, normally closed type models and all NPN output type models do not support IO-Link.

5 m 16.404 ft cable length type

5 m 16.404 ft cable length type (standard: 2 m 6.562 ft) is also available. When ordering this type, suffix "-C5" to the model No.
(e.g.) 5 m 16.404 ft cable length type of GX-303S-A-N is "GX-303S-A-N-C5".

Bending-resistant cable type (2 m 6.562 ft / 5 m 16.404 ft cable length)

The shielded, non-threaded type sensors (ø4 mm ø0.157 in / ø5.4 mm ø0.213 in) and threaded type sensors (M5 / M8) are available with a bending-resistant cable (cable length: 2 m 6.562 ft or 5 m 16.404 ft). (Note that the ø5.4 mm ø0.213 in size, normally closed type sensors are not available with a 5-m-long bending-resistant cable.)
When ordering bending-resistant 2 m 6.562 ft cable type, suffix "-R" to the model No. When ordering bending-resistant 5 m 16.404 ft cable type, suffix "-R5" to the model No.
(e.g.) Bending-resistant 2 m 6.562 ft cable type of GX-304S-A-N is "GX-304S-A-N-R".
(e.g.) Bending-resistant 5 m 16.404 ft cable type of GX-304S-A-N is "GX-304S-A-N-R5".

Pigtailed type

The threaded type sensors (M8 / M12 / M18 / M30) are available in the pigtailed type. (Connector: M12)
When ordering this type, suffix "-J" to the model No.
(e.g.) Pigtailed type of GX-308M-A-N is "GX-308M-A-N-J".

Please purchase mating cables separately when using pigtailed type models.
