XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Product Description
The XL-MaxSonar-AE sensors have a low power requirement of 3.3V - 5.5V and operation provides very short to long-range detection and ranging, in a tiny and compact form factor.

The MB1300 sensor series detects objects from 0-cm 1 to 765-cm (25.1 feet) or 1068cm (35 feet) (select models) and provide sonar range information from 20-cm out to 765-cm or 1068-cm (select models) with 1-cm resolution. Objects from 0-cm to 20-cm typically range as 20-cm. The interface output formats included are real-time analog voltage envelope, analog voltage output, and serial digital output.

XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Features
• High acoustic power output
• Real-time auto calibration and noise rejection for every ranging cycle
• Calibrated beam angle
• Continuously variable gain
• Object detection as close as 1-mm from the sensor
• 3.3V to 5.5V supply with very low average current draw
• Readings can occur up to every 100mS, (10-Hz rate)
• Free run operation can continually measure and output range information
• Triggered operation provides the range reading as desired
• Real-time analog envelope 
• All interfaces are active simultaneously
• Sensor operates at 42KHz
• Serial, 0 to Vcc, 9600Baud, 81N
• Analog, (Vcc/1024) / cm
• Analog, (Vcc/1024 / 2cm

XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Benefits
• Acoustic and electrical noise resistance
• Reliable and stable range data
• Low cost
• Quality controlled beam characteristics
• Very low power ranger, excellent for multiple sensor or battery based systems
• Ranging can be triggered externally or internally
• Sensor reports the range reading directly, frees up user processor
• Fast measurement cycle
• User can choose any of the sensor outputs
• Easy mounting
• No power up calibration required
• Perfect for objects may be directly in front of the sensor during power up

XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Applications and Uses
• Bin level measurement
• Proximity zone detection
• People detection
• Robot ranging sensor
• Autonomous navigation
• Environments with acoustic and electrical noise
• Multi-sensor arrays
• Distance measuring
• Long range object detection
• Users who prefer to process the analog voltage envelope (MB1300 series)
• -40°C to +65°C operation (+85°C limited operation) (40°C to 0°C recommended operation in environments that are non-frosting, non-condensation, and indoor only)
