2.1 Basic definitions
Insert, on page 17, after 2.1.1.4, the following new definitions:
2.1.1.4.1
type D
diffuse reflective photoelectric proximity switch which is directly operated through lateral or
axial approach to its reference axis by a defined object
2.1.1.4.2
type R
retroreflective photoelectric proximity switch which is indirectly operated through lateral
approach to its reference axis between emitter-receiver and reflector by a defined object
2.1.1.4.3
type T
through beam photoelectric proximity switch which is indirectly operated through lateral
approach of its reference axis between emitter and receiver by a defined object

Amendment 1, page 3
Add, after 2.1.1.5, the following new definitions:
2.1.1.6
direct operated proximity switch
proximity switch which detects its target without the use of an external means, e.g. a reflector
2.1.1.7
indirect operated proximity switch
proximity switch which detects its target with the use of an external means, e.g. a reflector
2.1.1.8
neutral density filters
filters which uniformly attenuate the intensity of light over a broad spectral range
NOTE Attenuation is accomplished by using either a light-absorbing glass or a thin-film metal coating that
combines absorption and reflection.

2.3 Operation of a proximity switch
Add, on page 23, after 2.3.1.7, the following new definition:
2.3.1.8
operating range (r )
o
range within which a lateral approach of the target causes the output signal of a through beam

4.1.3 Operation of a photoelectric proximity switch
Add, at the end of this subclause, the following note:
NOTE Many manufacturers of photoelectric proximity switches have traditionally used the terminology “light-
operated” and “dark-operated”. In this case, if the presence of light at the receiver causes the output element to be
in ON state then the device is called “light-operated”, and if the presence of light at the receiver causes the output
to be in OFF state, then the device is called “dark-operated”.

Add, after the subclause 4.1.3, the following new subclause:
4.1.4 Operation of a magnetic proximity switch
The output signal is determined by the presence or absence of a designated object, which
produces a change in a magnetic field within the sensing zone.

4.2.3 Operating distance(s) of a photoelectric proximity switch
Replace the existing subclause 4.2.3.1 by the following new subclauses:
