Question

What does the 'TV' specification mean?

Answer

Time Delay Before Availability refers to the time between when power is first applied to the sensor and when it is ready for operation. In this period lasting only a few milliseconds, the output may be at an unpredictable state. This is not to be confused with 'Switching Frequency', which is how fast the sensor can change output states.
