Product Description

 

The XL-MaxSonar-WRM1 ignores smaller targets and only reports the range to target with the largest acoustic return. This is one of our advanced weather resistant sensor designed for target detection and ranging outdoors or in tank or bin applications.

The weather resistant XL-MaxSonar-WRM1 is a rugged ultrasonic sensor component module. This outdoor sensor provides very short to long distance detection and ranging in a compact, robust PVC housing. The ultrasonic sensor meets the IP67 water intrusion standard and matches standard electrical 3/4‑inch PVC pipe fittings.

High output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real‑time background automatic calibration, real‑time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms results in virtually noise free distance readings. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources. The XL‑MaxSonar-WR sensors are factory calibrated to match narrow sensor beam patterns and provide reliable long range detection zones.

The MB7060 is the standard version of this sensor.
The MB7092 is an analog envelope output version of this sensor.

Models with additional chemical resistance are available

The F-Option design modification provides our weather resistant sensors with extra protection against corrosive chemical environments. Ask for the F-Option when ordering.

Using a MaxSonar on a UAV
MaxBotix Inc., sensors have been successfully used on a number of multi‑copters.
Multi‑copters are also called UAVs, rotorcraft, quadrotor helicopters, or quadcopters. Many quadcopters are seen on DIYDrones, such as the Arducopter.
