Typical Performance Characteristics
Horizontal Field of View (FOV)
Horizontal Field of View Diagram
The pole is positioned in the field of view of the sensor. The
sensor data stream is analysed for reliable detections of the
pole ( pole visible in every output frame). Two different sensor
configurations* are documented.

⚠️
Blind Zone: This area is prone to false positives. Sensor outputs all detected points from 0 – 500 cm (0-197 in.)
⚠️
Configuration: Opening angle and max. detection distance dependent on configuration, target size and angle of reflection.
