3.6.1 Scanning range of the LMS1xx
The scanning range of the LMS1xx is dependent on the remission of the objects to be
detected. The better a surface reflects the incident radiation, the greater the scanning
range of the LMS1xx. The diagrams in
Fig. 11, Fig. 12 and Fig. 13 on page 27 indicate the
relationship between remission and detectability for different LMS1xx variants.

Scanning range as a function of the target remission
Up to a distance of 10 m the LMS1xx can detect objects from 3 % remission.
At a distance of 20 m objects are only detected if they have a remission > 13 % (Fig. 11).
The LMS14x only detects objects at a distance up to 16 m from 3 % remission (Fig. 12), the
LMS15x only detects objects at a distance up to 10 m from 3 % remission (Fig. 13 on
page 27).
