Scanning range of the LMS1xx
The scanning range of the LMS1xx is dependent on the remission of the objects to be
detected. The better a surface reflects the incident radiation, the greater the scanning
range of the LMS1xx. The diagrams in

Scanning range as a function of the target remission
Up to a distance of 10 m the LMS1xx can detect objects from 3 % remission.
At a distance of 20 m objects are only detected if they have a remission > 13 % (
).
The LMS14x only detects objects at a distance up to 16 m from 3 % remission (
), the
LMS15x only detects objects at a distance up to 10 m from 3 % remission (
).
