When using resistors for inductive prox sensor, do they effect range?

I am using an inductive proximity probe for ABL and I want to boost its range, do the voltage divide resistors effect this? If I use a 100 and a 150, is there a better combination out there? I also measure 3.4v on the hi side, this is a little low on the voltage, should I be using different resistors?

Range is dependent on sensor design, and material being sensed (longest with steel or iron, lower with aluminum). It can be influenced by supply voltage, you are better off being on the higher side of the range. Nothing you can do with a voltage divider will boost the range of the sensor.

Divider formula is as follows: Vout = Vin x R2 / R1 + R2
