For high quality of the localization, we recommend to consider the following information
about the sensors.
microScan3
•
Protective field range 9 m (64 m warning field range)
The sensors with 64 m measurement range are preferred over the ones with 40 m
measurement range. They can be used in both configurations, 50 ms and 40 ms
scan cycle time. Smaller scan cycle times allow potentially higher velocities, how‐
ever, are primarily dependent on your risk assessment.
•
Protective field range 4 m and 5.5 m (40 m warning field range)
When using the sensors with 40 m measurement range, they can be used in both
configurations, 40 ms and 30 ms scan cycle time, with corresponding 0.39° and
0.51° resolution. A smaller scan cycle time allows potentially higher velocities. A
higher resolution allows the detection of smaller objects. However, the configura‐
tion is primarily dependent on your risk assessment.
