This unit checks the base material of sen-
sor area 10 in measurement direction A to
A
the displayed measuring depth. Measure-
ment is possible only during movement of
the unit in the direction of travel B and for a
distance of at least 8 cm.
Move the unit in a straight line with
light pressure over the wall so that
the wheels remain in contact with the
wall. Objects are detected that differ
