Weight 22 g (0.78 oz.) Operating temperature -20 to 60C (-4 to 140F) Water Resistance Wire Color Function Body of this device is rated IPX7, and can wthstand incidental exposure to Red 5 Vdc (+) water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes. Orange Power enable (internal pull-up) IMPORTANT: The bare wire portion of the wiring harness is not water Yellow Mode control resistant, and can act as a path for water to enter the device. All bare-wire connections must either be made in a water-tight location or properly sealed. Green I2C SCL Blue I2C SDA Water may enter under the transmitting lens. This could affect performance, but will not affect IPX7 water resistance. Black Ground (-) There are two basic configurations for this device: Electrical I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)a serial computer bus used to Specification Measurement communicate between this device and a microcontroller, such as an Arduino board (I2C Interface, page 4). Power 5 Vdc nominal 4.5 Vdc min., 5.5 Vdc max. PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)a bi-directional signal transfer method Current consumption 65 mA idle that triggers acquisitions and returns distance measurements using the 85 mA during an acquisition mode-control pin (Mode Control Pin, page 4).
