Product Description

 

The LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ0 has the widest and most sensitive beam pattern of any unit from LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ sensor line. This makes the LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ0 an excellent choice for use where high sensitivity, wide beam, or people detection is desired.

Component Overview

  • 42kHz Ultrasonic sensor measures distance to objects
  • RoHS Compliant
  • Read from all 3 sensor outputs: Analog Voltage, Serial, Pulse Width
  • Virtually No sensor dead zone, objects closer than 6 inches range as 6 inches
  • Resolution of 1 inch
  • Maximum Range of 254 inches (645 cm)
  • Operates from 2.5-5.5V
  • Low 2.0mA average current requirement
  • 20Hz reading rate
  • Small, light weight module
  • Designed for easy integration into your project or product
  • Widest beam of the LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors
  • Great for people detection applications
  • Volume Pricing (25 or more units): Contact MaxBotix Inc.

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.
