Note: The maximum operation distance stands for the maximum distance for which the sensor can detect the standard sensing object.
The stable sensing range stands for the sensing range for which the sensor can stably detect the standard sensing object even if
there is an ambient temperature drift and/or supply voltage fluctuation.
