. Its sensing capabilities are notable: the device reliably detects objects from as close as 2 mm up to 120 mm under optimal reflective conditions, and from approximately 25 mm to 90 mm for darker or less reflective targets. The PinPoint LED emits a visible red beam, creating a tight 3.5 mm diameter spot at 50 mm, which aids alignment and confirmation during setup
