The graph below describes the performance of the IR sensor
device used in this Channel Vision IR receiver. Please note
that the graph below marks the distance as a percentage of
the maximum distance. So at 0º, the distance is 1.0 (or 100%)
and at 30º, the distance is 0.7 (or 70%) and so on.
Actual transmission distances are dependent upon frequency
of remote control (40kHz has max range) and luminosity of
remote control (i.e. Some remotes are brighter than others.)
