5.1 Basic concepts
5.1.1 Determining factors
The sensor installation height and inclination depend on the optimum position of the sensor. The optimum
position of the sensor depends on what follows:
l sensor field of view
l depth of the dangerous area (and therefore the detection field)
l the presence of other sensors
5.1.2 Sensor installation height
The installation height (h) is the distance between the center of the sensor and the ground or reference plane of
the sensor.
5.1.3 Sensor inclination
Sensor inclination is the rotation of the sensor around its x-axis. Inclination is defined as the angle between a line
perpendicular to the sensor and a line parallel to the ground. Three examples are presented as follows:
l sensor tilted upwards: α positive
l straight sensor: α = 0
l sensor tilted downwards: α negative
