Shiny Targets
If the target object has a glossy surface, incline the sensor by 5#
to 10# as shown below, provided that the sensor is not influenced
by any background objects.
Glossy object
If there is a mirror--like object below the sensor, the sensor may
not be in stable operation. Tilt the sensor or keep the sensor far
enough away from the mirror--like object to avoid interfering
reflections as shown below.
