Maxbotix LV-MaxSonar-EZ1 Sonar Range Finder MB1010 MaxBotix ultrasonic sensor line comparison chart. Overview The Maxbotics LV-MaxSonar-EZ family of sonar range finders offers very short- to long-range detection and ranging in an incredibly small package with ultra-low power consumption. The LV- MaxSonar-EZ detects objects from 0 to 6.45 meters (21.2 feet) and provides sonar range information beyond 15 cm (6 ) with a resolution of 2.5 cm resolution (1 in). Objects between 0 and 15 cm range as 15 cm. The sensor provides three output interfaces, all of which are active simultaneously: digital pulse width output, analog voltage output, and asynchronous serial digital output. The LV-MaxSonar is available in five factory-calibrated beam patterns (EZ0-4). For a higher-resolution, longer-range version, please consider the XL-MaxSonar-EZ and XL- MaxSonar-AE families of distance sensors. Specifications and Features Small and light: 0.870 x 0.785 x 0.645 (2.2 x 2.0 x 1.6 cm), 0.15 oz (4.3 g) Long range detection: 0 6.45 m (21.2 ft) No dead zone (detections from 0 to 6 are output as 6 ) Resolution of 1 (2.5 cm) Low typical current consumption: 2 mARuns on 2.5 5.5 V 42 kHz ultrasonic sensor 20 Hz reading rate Free-run or triggered operation Three interfaces (all are active simultaneously): Serial output: asynchronous, logic-level, inverted, 9600 bps 8N1 Analog output: (Vcc/512) / inch (10 mV/inch when input voltage Vcc = 5 V) Pulse width output: 147 s/inch Selecting the right distance sensor Since there are 15 members of the XL- and LV-MaxSonar acoustic distance sensor family, we recommend using the Maxbotix sonar range finder selection guide when choosing a acoustic range sensor for your application. There are 5 different beam configurations for the LV-MaxSonar family (EZ0 EZ4), each pictured below.
