    The F260 Series ultrasonic sensors deliver 12-bit resolution over a 10-m (33-ft) sensing range. An ultrapowerful transducer permits installation even in dirty environments.

    The F260 Series ultrasonic sensors deliver 12-bit resolution over a 10-m (33-ft) sensing range. An ultrapowerful transducer permits installation even in dirty environments.

    The sensor is easy to configure — analog adjustments are made in a softwareprogramming environment, while dual potentiometers control switch point adjustment. Beyond range limit control, the software “smooths” outputs responding to unstable targets by modifying sampling and filtering functions. The F260 also provides users with a 10° pivoting face, permitting optimum sensor-totarget alignment.
