Figure 4. Optimal Orientation of Target to Sensor See the following figures for examples of correct and incorrect sensor-to-target orientation as certain placements may pose problems for sensing some targets. The Q4X can be used in the less preferred orientation and provide reliable detection performance; see Figure 16 on page 23 for the minimum object separation distance required for each case. -
