Tips: How to install proximity sensor?

When a proximity sensor is installed on metal, certain space should be reserved to prevent the proximity sensor malfunction that is disturbed by other metals rather than the detected object. The metal paralleled to sensing surface should be three times of  detection distance away from the sensing surface. The metal around proximity sensor axis should be away from a cylinder, whose axis is the same as proximity sensor axis and diameter is three times of the proximity sensor diameter. When installing the proximity sensor, you can use some tools to ensure accuracy.
When installing two or more proximity sensors at the same time, should prevent interference between proximity sensors. If the sensors are placed face to face, the distance between two sensing surfaces in the axial direction should be five times longer than the detect distance. If the sensors are placed side by side, the distance between outer cylindrical surfaces should be three times longer than the diameter of proximity sensor. In addition, if the diameter of sensor differs in size, it should be calculated in accordance with the larger diameter of proximity sensor.
