Product Description

 

The weather resistant LV-MaxSonar-WR 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 PCV pipe fittings.

Using one of the below models is recommended

The MB7052 is the most advanced filter version of this sensor.
The MB7060 is the standard version of this sensor
The MB7062 is the stability filter version of this sensor.
The MB7066 is an extra-long range version of this sensor.
The MB7070 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.

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.
