It is meant for obstacle detection and collision avoidance. The USBoard-USS5-IP can also be used in stationary machines or equipment to provide distance measurement data. The USBoard-USS5-IP was developed to provide exclusively non-safe data and information. Improper Use ------------ The USBoard-USS5-IP is explicitely **not a safety device** and must not be used as such. It must never be used to safeguard dangerous areas or as single system for collision avoidance. It is not recommended to use the USBoard-USS5-IP in applications with very high requirements on measurement accuracy, on reliability of the measurements or on data output speed. This for example includes motion control applications like parking.
