AFeatures
Main features
Measuring a distance without contact
Consider DISTANCIO for applications that need a non-contact distance measurement together with a tilt measurement. The stated laser accuracy is ± 1.0 mm regardless of distance; the inclinometer range is ± 90° with ± 0.1° accuracy.
Preparing the measurement conditions
Describe the measuring distance, the target and the installation conditions: beyond 15 m, the measurement requires a reflective target. Read the datasheet and talk to ADVARNA to check that the sensor suits your application.

Frequently asked questions
How far can DISTANCIO measure?
From 0.05 to 15 m on natural surfaces and from 40 to 150 m on reflective targets, with ± 1.0 mm accuracy regardless of distance. Beyond 15 m, a reflective target is required.
Can the sensors be configured locally?
Yes. OBSESSIO X1, OBSESSIO X2 and DISTANCIO are configured and read locally from a smartphone, tablet or PC over Bluetooth/NFC; HORIZIO is configured over Bluetooth.
