XL-MaxSonar-WR Series Ultrasonic Sensor Product Description
The XL-MaxSonar-WR and XL-MaxSonar-WRC sensor series provide users with robust range information in air. These sensors also feature high-power acoustic output along with real-time auto calibration for changing conditions (supply voltage sag, acoustic noise, or electrical noise), operation with supply voltage from 3V to 5.5V, object detection from 0-cm to 765-cm (select models) or 1068-cm (select models), and sonar range information from 20-cm 1 out to 765-cm (select models) or 1068-cm (select models) with 1-cm resolution. Objects from 0-cm to 20-cm 1 range as 20-cm 1 or closer. The sensor is housed in a robust PVC housing, designed to meet the IP67 water intrusion standard, and matches standard electrical/water ¾" PVC pipe fittings. The user interface formats included are pulse-width (select models), real-time analog-voltage envelope (select models), analog voltage output, and serial output.
