Operation Testing
Testing Sensor Detection
To test the sensor's maximum effective detection capabilities, use a fl at metallic
object with a minimum surface area of one (1) square foot, and hold it facing the
sensor at the following positions using the diagram below as a reference.
1. Six (6) feet out from center.
2. Six (6) feet out, six feet left from center.
3. Six (6) feet out, six feet right from center.
4. Ten (10) feet from center (maximum effective distance).
The effective detection zone of the sensor can be drawn as a ten (10)-foot arc,
± 45 degrees from center. The sensor may detect objects beyond this zone, shown
in dark grey above, but should not be considered reliable.
Note: The ability of the sensor to detect objects in its effective detection
zone depends on the object's size, composition, and its ability to refl ect
electromagnetic energy.
