DESCRIPTION

· The XL-MaxSonar-WR/WRC Series by MaxBotix Inc. offers high-performance, IP67 weather-resistant ultrasonic range finders engineered and assembled in the USA.

· These sensors provide robust range information in air with high-power acoustic output and real-time auto sensitivity adjustment for varying conditions.

· They operate within a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V and detect objects from 0 cm up to 765 cm or 1068 cm for select models, with a resolution of 1 cm.

· Housed in a durable PVC casing, these sensors meet the IP67 water intrusion standard and are compatible with standard ¾” PVC pipe fittings.

FEATURES

· Real-time auto sensitivity adjustment and noise rejection for reliable operation in changing conditions.

· High acoustic power output with precise narrow beam characteristics.

· Object detection includes zero range objects with very low average current draw, suitable for battery-based systems.

· Multiple interface options including RS232/TTL Serial and analog voltage output.

· Free run and triggered operation modes with varying refresh rates depending on the model.

· Robust, low-cost design with easy mounting options and filtering for reliable operation in most environments.

APPLICATIONS

· Tank and bin level measurement for industrial and commercial use.

· Proximity zone detection in environments with acoustic and electrical noise.

· Distance measuring and long-range object detection, with super high sensitivity for small objects in select models.

· Industrial sensor applications operating in temperatures from -40°C to +65°C, with limited operation up to +85°C.

· Not recommended for personal safety applications due to lack of self-checking redundant circuitry.
