Check the application conditions: Adjust the sensing range and the remission capa‐
bility of the object according to the corresponding diagram [H] (x = sensing range, y
= operating reserve).
During this process, an object can only be detected in front of a background if the
remission capability of the object is significantly higher than that of the background
or if the distance between the object and the background is sufficiently long.
