    A target with poor sound wave reflection characteristics will reduce the operating distance of the sensor and decrease its accuracy. Automation Products Group, Inc.

  • Page 6 Environmental Conditions Temperature, humidity, gases, dust, and pressure may also affect the sensor’s performance. APG ultrasonic sensors automatically compensate for many of these conditions. However, these conditions can degrade the sensor’s performance enough it may be necessary to use a longer-range sensor than normal conditions would require.

  • Page 7: Installation

    DCR-1005 and DCR-1006 • Installation Installing the DCR The DCR-1005 and DCR-1006 should be installed using the 4 screws through 4 holes in the back of the enclosure. The enclosure must be mounted out of direct sunlight. Installing the DST The DST sensor should be installed so that it has a clear sound path to the intended target.
