Operating modes

Different operating modes and device configurations enable microsonic sensors to be used in all conceivable automation applications.

A sensor´s blind zone

determines its smallest permissible detection range. No objects or disturbing reflectors should be placed in the blind zone because this can lead to incorrect measurements.

The detection range

is measured by different standard reflectors.

The operating range

is a sensor´s typical area of operations.

The sensor can also be employed for distances up to its maximum range in the case of good reflectors.
