Product Description

 

The LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ1 is a great choice for use where sensitivity is needed along with side object rejection.

The original LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ products were the first low cost, high quality ultrasonic distance sensors to offer easy to use outputs, no sensor dead zone, calibrated beam patterns, stable range readings, low power demands, and a host of other features.

The LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ1 is our most popular indoor ultrasonic sensor and is a good, low-cost starting place for a customer not sure of which LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ sensor to use.

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
  • Our most popular indoor ultrasonic rangefinder
  • Our low cost, all-around sensor that is excellent for many projects
  • Best beam and sensitivity balance for the LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors
  • Volume Pricing (25 or more units): Contact MaxBotix Inc.

Sensor Noise Tolerance

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.
