*3.Communications are disabled if the detection mode is selected during super-high-speed mode, and the
communications functions for mutual interference prevention and the Mobile Console will not function.
*4.PNP output is as follows: Operate: 53 μs, reset: 55 μs.
*5.When counter is enabled: 80 μs for operate and reset respectively.
*6.When differential output is selected for the output setting, the second channel output is 200 μs for operation and
reset respectively.
*7.Mutual interference prevention can be used for only up to 6 Units if power tuning is enabled.
*8.Mutual interference prevention can be used for up to 5 Units (10 channels) if power tuning is enabled.
