Detection Direction
Due to the detection method, the sensor must be positioned
such that the target passes in one of the following directions.
Motion in up/down direction cannot be detected.
Long Range Background Suppression Diffuse
Field of View
3.5°
Transmitting LED
Infrared 880nm
Connections
4 pressureĆtype screw
terminals
Targets are rarely as dark as 2.5% reflective. For practical
purposes, data for 14% reflective targets is also provided.
