Considerations
When considering a SUPERPROX® sensor for a particular application, certain ultrasonic sensing fundamentals should be understood to ensure top performance.

• Object Surface Area versus Distance to Sensor
• Shape of the Object
• Surface Reflection Properties
• Surface-to-Beam Angle
  

Environmental Factors
The environment in which the sensing application takes place must also be considered.

• Air Movement and Densities
• Air Pressure
• Ambient Acoustical Noise
• Background Sensing Mode
• Coincidental Secondary Echo Condition
• Object Sensing Mode
• Temperature
