What is the blind zone, detection range, scanning range for ultrasonic sensors?
Terms associated with BUS
- Blind zone
The blind zone defines the smallest reliable scanning range of the sensor. There must be no objects or interfering reflections within the blind zone.
- Operating scanning range
The operating scanning range is the typical working range of a sensor.
- Limiting scanning range
For objects with good reflective properties, the sensor can also be used up to its limiting scanning range.
- Detection range
The detection range is measured using various standard reflectors.
