Modular range II
■ Overview
The Sonar-BEROs of modular Signal evaluator and sonar sensors
range II comprise the
• 3RG61 sonar sensor and
• 3RX2 110 signal evaluator.
The signal evaluators are suit-

modular range II and adapt
themselves automatically to the
type of sensor connected.
The parameters can be set using
four input keys through menuas-
sisted programming in English
or German.
The extended version of the sig-
nal evaluator offers in addition:
• Differential measurement
• Multiplex operation with two
