Product Description

 

The LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ3 is a narrow beam sensor with good side object rejection. The LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ3 has slightly wider beam width than the MB1040 LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ4 which makes it a good choice for when the LV‑MaxSonar‑EZ4 does not have enough sensitivity for the application.

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
  • Narrow beam and good side object rejection
  • Best for large object 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.
