Selection Of Object To Be Detected - Panasonic GP-X Series User Manual

4.1 Selection of Object to Be Detected

The GP-X series is configured before shipment from the factory so that lin-
ear accuracy is achieved for stainless steel (SUS304). If the material of the
object to be detected is other than stainless steel, change the setting.
After changing the setting, perform three-point calibration without fail.
Reference For three-point calibration, refer to section "4.2 Three-Point Calibration
(Linearity adjustment)" on page 71.
Setting example
Change the object to "iron".
<Setting 1 mode>
" " (SUS): Stainless steel (SUS 304)

Sensing range
The sensing range is specified for the standard sensing object (Stainless steel/iron).
With a metal other than the metals specified in the specifications,
multiply with the correction coefficient shown in the table below.
