Placement of multiple distance measuring devices
Multiple distance measuring
devices
If you want to mount several distance measuring devices, you have to
consider a minimum distance between the distance measuring devices
when mounting them. The minimum distance increases with the maximum
scanning range of the distance measuring device.
Formula
a ≥ 100 mm + 0.01 x s
max
[mm]
Example
• Distance measuring device DL100–21xxxx01
• Measuring range: 0.15 … 100 m
• Maximum measuring distance 60 m
• s
max
= 60 m
Calculation
a ≥ 100 mm + 0.01 x 60000 mm
→
100 mm + 600 mm
→
700 mm
Result
a ≥ 700 mm
