7.0 Coverage Patterns
The coverage (detection area) of the DS160/161 varies depending
on the mounting height above the floor, angle of the lens, and if the
unit is mounted on a wall above the door or on the ceiling.
The unit can also be masked to allow only some parts of the coverage
pattern to be active.
7.1 Examples
When the unit is mounted on the wall and the lens is pointed straight
down, some detection zones point toward the wall and do not detect
movement.
