Product Description

 

In addition to the standard XL-MaxSonar-WR, MaxBotix Inc. has developed the F-Option for additional protection necessary in a few hazardous chemical environments. Extremely corrosive gases or liquids can degrade or compromise the operation of the sensing unit. As a result, we offer a more chemically inert seal which allows our sensors to operate in all but the harshest of chemical environments. In addition to the chemical resistance the sensor has improved performance in wet or dust environments.

Please Note: Our sensors are designed for operation in normal atmosphere (air).  Please be aware that the speed of sound and atmospheric attenuation may change as a result of the transmission properties of different chemical/air mediums.  Users are strongly encouraged to characterize and test the operation of the sensor in the new medium to verify operation, and properly scale the outputted range information.

F-Option

The exposed materials of a properly mounted XL-MaxSonar-WR sensor with the F-Option added are: Aluminum (oxidized surface), PVC, & Flourosilicone (with an additional back up FEP Teflon® seal).

Standard Weather Resistant Models

The exposed materials of a properly mounted XL-MaxSonar-WR standard sensor are: Aluminum (oxidized surface), PVC, & silicone rubber (VMQ).

Sensor Noise Tolerance
Author: Scott Wielenberg  Date: 11/21/2011
Sensor Noise
MaxBotix Inc. Recently performed an acoustic noise tolerance test on the LV-MaxSonar-EZ and XL-MaxSonar-EZ products.
The test was setup to evaluate the real world use of the sensors, to allow comparison between MaxBotix Inc., sensors. A noise source was used that produced a pulsating acoustic source of 30KHz to 50KHz sweep at a 60Hz rate. This caused large spikes of noise within the sensor frequency band.
