differential travel

Hysteresis is also called _____ ________which is the difference between the operating and release points of the device.

False

Proximity sensors use reflected light to detect objects.

False

Proximity sensors uses physical contact to detect objects.

correction

The inductive proximity sensing ranges to targets made of non-ferrous materials have to apply a ________ factor listed in the device specification tables to determine the effective sensing range of the device.

mild steel

The standard target for an inductive proximity sensor is constructed of ________ ______measuring 1mm thick and with sides equal to the active face of the device.
