SENSING TYPE
Through-beam
Detects the attenuation or interrupted condition
of the ultrasonic beam caused by the object
E4B-TjS Emitter
passing between the Emitter and Receiver.

E4B-TjR Receiver
Reflective
Setting distance
Detects only the beam reflected from the
object existing within the sensing distance
range set with the distance adjuster.

Sensing
object
Note: An object may be detected due to multiple reflection if the object is in the unstable range where the distance adjuster is ineffective,
in which case however, the detection of the object will not be stable. Therefore, do not attempt to use the E4B to detect an object
in the unstable range.
