Q. Please explain the difference between diffuse and through-scan.


Diffuse mode is the standard mode of operation. In this mode, objects travelling in any direction into the operating range of the sound cone will cause the sensor to switch output states. The Thru-scan mode uses a "reflector" located in the preset operating range. This can be any good reflective background, such as a wall. The operating range is adjusted for the reflector. The pulses are bounced off the reflector and the echo pulses are returned to the sensor. When a target blocks the echo pulses, the output is activated.
