Ultrasonic Sensors FAQ

Q. Please explain what a blind zone is.


A blind zone exists directly in front of the sensor. It is the range in front of the sensor where objects cannot be reliably detected, or where an unstable output would occur. The blind zone will vary depending upon the size and sensing range of the sensor. Shorter range sensors will have smaller blind zones, while longer range sensors will have larger blind zones.
