If the sensor is installed on a tilted pole, it will face the
ground and not operate properly. Make sure to install
the sensor on a pole that is vertical to the ground.
If the pole cannot be installed vertically because of
sloping ground, etc., install it in a position such that it is
500mm (20in.) or 750–800mm (30–31in.) above the
ground at the set detection range (depending on the
application).
However, the detection capability may be reduced as
compared to a sensor installed vertically to the ground.

sensor may not go into the non-detection status or may
be slow to change to that status.

vegetation from the detection area, or reconfigure the
