Operating Information

The product is designed for use in air. Protect the open acoustic surface from water, dust, oil and corrosive environments. Actual detection distance depends on drive voltage, receiver gain, target size, target material and installation conditions.

Selection Information

For selection, specify the required size, transmitter/receiver function, target size, working distance, installation space, operating temperature and drive conditions.
