F-Option for Chemical Resistance

MaxBotix Mounting HardwareIn 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.

F-Option

MaxBotix Mounting HardwareThe 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).

MB7950-Mounting Hardware

MaxBotix Mounting HardwareThe MB7950 Mounting Hardware is selected for use with our outdoor ultrasonic sensors. The MB7950 Mounting Hardware works with our LV‑MaxSonar‑WR, XL‑MaxSonar‑WR, and XL‑MaxSonar‑WRC products.

MB7954‑Shielded Cable

MaxBotix AccessoriesThe MaxSonar Connection Wire is used to reduce interference caused by electrical noise on the lines. This cable is a great solution to use when running the sensors at a long distance or in an area with a lot of EMI and electrical noise. MaxBotix Inc., has successfully tested our sensors at a distance of 1,000 ft.

HR‑MaxTemp

MaxBotix AccessoriesThe HR‑MaxTemp temperature sensor is used with the HRLV‑MaxSonar‑EZ series of sensors for automatic temperature compensation. When connected to the HRLV‑MaxSonar‑EZ all outputs are automatically adjusted to compensate for the speed of sound change over temperature.

Custom Solutions

For some of our customers our standard products have not fit the requirements of their particular application. As a result, we have designed and manufactured a number of custom solutions. Some of the product improvements and features have been incorporated directly into our standard products. For other users we have evaluated their specifications and charged a small NRE fee for their custom parts.

Contact MaxBotix Inc. with your application and its requirements and our engineers will work to arrive at a desirable solution.

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.
