7.2 Tips for Users: Radar works on the principle of line of sight and relies on some of the electromagnetic energy transmitted by the sensor being reflected back from the object to the sensor. If an object does not reflect enough electromagnetic energy back to the sensor it will not be detected. In the case where there are multiple objects in the detection area at various distances and/or angles, the sensor detects the closest object, which is the most important one for collision avoidance. - Page 9 8.2.1 USB to Serial Port Driver Installation: A USB to serial port driver is required to communicate between the PC and the Control Box.
