2.5 Amplitude of the Sensitive Beam
The amplitude of the Sensitive Beam depends on the distance between the transmitter and the
receiver, and on the sensitivity adjustment set. The figures below state the diameter half-way of
the sensitive beam section (based on the length of the section) in case of maximum and
minimum sensitivity (figure 3 and 4). With a medium sensibility, the minimun space recomend
for corner crossing is 3,5 m. For wall installation, the minimum distance from the wall to the
centre head are 30 cm.

Remark:
that for the ERMO 482 equipment, the Sensitivity regulation to be considered for obtaining the
dimensions of the sensitivity beams half-way of the section, is that of the alarm threshold.
The higher the threshold the lower the sensitivity, and vice versa.
