Active zone 

TBS-223 is a sensitive sensor and based on different installation method, the active zone 

will be changed. The below yellow zone is the suggested vehicle keep away distance, when 

Vehicle drive into or left the zone, the sensor will be activated. 

The parallel to vehicle installation is much more sensitive than 90-degree installation. 

Generally,  if using  90-degree installation, it is suggested to change the sensitivity to 7; 

however, based on different situation, customer may need to fine tune the sensitivity and 

position to avoid error.
