9.4.1 Setting the hysteresis
The hysteresis is the difference between the switching-on and switching-off threshold in mm.
Without hysteresis (H), objects near the switching point can lead to a repeated switching of the
switching output. It is recommended to use a hysteresis with a value at least as high as the res-
olution of the sensor. You can enter the hysteresis as a positive or negative value. The mini-
mum value of the hysteresis depends on whether the hysteresis is positive or negative. In both
cases, the minimum value is selected so that the distance between the switching points equals
zero.
Negative hysteresis
The hysteresis is situated between the switching points (window mode) or points towards lower
measured values (point mode). With a negative hysteresis, the minimum distance of the switch-
ing points is equal to the value of the hysteresis times two.

Positive hysteresis
The hysteresis is situated outside the switching points (window mode) or points towards larger
measured values (point mode). With a positive hysteresis, the minimum distance of the switch-
ing points is 0.
