    400 01 0145 Description The small acoustic horn BS10-2 is used as the standard attachment on BS10. This attachment provides the sensor with a directivity for close-range applications. A relatively large opening angle allows for simple detection of ultrasound sources in the room. Use the target laser to narrow down the area for subsequent precise location.
