Notes to the specifications: ① The measurement range is measured when all light spots are placed on the target board, at 25 ℃. ② The parameter is measured at 25 ℃, 0Klux, when all the light spots are placed on the target board with a reflectivity of 10%. ③This angle is the design divergence angle of the laser spot. The actual field of view angle that can trigger distance measurement depends on specific conditions such as the measured object and background. Please confirm according to the specific application. ④Measured at 25 ℃, changes in conditions may cause variations in the measurement results.
