LV-MaxSonar® - EZ™ Series
High Performance Sonar Range Finder
MB1000, MB1010, MB1020, MB1030, MB1040
With 2.
5V - 5.
5V power the LV-MaxSonar-EZ provides very short to long-range detection and ranging in a very small package.
The LV-MaxSonar-EZ detects objects from 0-inches to 254-inches (6.
45-meters) and provides sonar range information from 6-inches out to 254-inches with 1-inch resolution.
Objects from 0-inches to 6-inches typically range as 6-inches1.
The interface output formats included are pulse width output, analog voltage output, and RS232 serial output.
Factory calibration and testing is completed with a flat object.

5V supply with 2mA
typical current draw Readings can occur up to every
50mS, (20-Hz rate) Free run operation can continually
measure and output range information Triggered operation provides the range reading as desired Interfaces are active simultaneously Serial, 0 to Vcc, 9600 Baud, 81N Analog, (Vcc/512) / inch Pulse width, (147uS/inch)
Learns ringdown pattern when commanded to start ranging
Designed for protected indoor environments
Sensor operates at 42KHz High output square wave sensor drive
(double Vcc)
Benefits
Very low cost ultrasonic rangefinder Reliable and stable range data Quality beam characteristics Mounting holes provided on the
circuit board Very low power ranger, excellent for
multiple sensor or battery-based systems Fast measurement cycles
Sensor reports the range reading directly and frees up user processor
Choose one of three sensor outputs
Triggered externally or internally
