Current consumption refers to the maximum current when,

Leakage current:
“Leakage current” refers to the frequency of outputs from the
proximity switch per second in response to the movement of
each target when brought closer to the switch.

Correction coefficient:
Taking an electrical proximity switch as an example, the
sensing distance of the electrical inductance proximity switch is
shorter for a non-metal target. In this case, please refer to the
following chart for correction of pick-up distance. (But the
correction factor has no an absolute value).
For example: Sensing distance of copper: S30-10N-1-P-V
Standard sensing distance: (Sn) x 0.4
(Modulus of copper) = 10 x 0.4 = 4mm
