Frequently Asked Questions

Displacement Sensor Topic: Wind Effect

 

FAQ No. FAQ01356

 

Question

 

How much does wind affect E4PA Ultrasonic Sensor?


Answer


The Ultrasonic Sensor uses air as the translation medium, so it is easily affected by wind. Care must be taken when using this Sensor but the E4PA is the least affected by wind out of all the OMRON Ultrasonic Sensors.

For example, wind produced by a 50-cm industrial fan at the highest level will hardly change the analog output.

Effect of wind

Testing conditions: Temperature: 23.5°C, Humidity: 54%
