3.2 Optical Specifications
In all cases, make sure the target completely fills the measurement spot, see section 6.1.1 Distance to
Object, page 26.
The actual spot size for any distance, when the unit is at focus distance, can be calculated by using the
following formula. Divide the distance D by your model’s D:S number. For example, for a unit with D:S
= 300:1, if the sensor is 2200 mm (86 in.) from the target, divide 2200 by 300 (86 by 300), which gives you
a target spot size of approximately 7.3 mm (0.29 in.).

All target spot sizes indicated in the optical diagrams are based on 90% energy.
