Custom Hardware To Customer Specifications
*These specifications represent best case performance where: the target is flat, smooth and highly reflective, the sensor is perpendicular to the target, the sensor is
gapped to its range of highest sensitivity, fiberoptic cable lengths are standard and the cables are not connectorized.
SENSITIVITY = 500mv/mm
