What is the importance of having reverse polarity protection in the sensor?


Reverse polarity protection ensures that the sensor continues to function correctly even if the power supply connections are accidentally reversed. This feature safeguards against potential damage, thereby enhancing the device's longevity.

How does the resolution and measurement accuracy influence the sensor's performance?


The sensor features a resolution of ≥ 0.2mm and a measurement accuracy of ± 1%, which means it can provide precise distance readings. This level of accuracy is crucial for applications requiring tight tolerances, such as quality control and process monitoring.

What factors affect the effective detection range of this ultrasonic sensor?


The detection range can be influenced by the reflective properties, size, and alignment of the target object. Natural objects may reflect sound waves differently, which can impact the sensor's ability to accurately measure distance.

How long does the initial setup of the sensor take?


Initialisation of the sensor is typically completed in less than 300ms, allowing for quick deployment within operational systems. This ensures minimal downtime during installation and setup.
