The OPS243-A can generally can be placed behind most any material (plastic, glass, wood, etc.) depending
on thickness. Typical applications will use plastics such as ABS or PVC at 3 or 6mm thickness. Some
materials will block the signal and the OPS243-A should not be placed behind these. Examples of these
are metal, concrete or brick.
