Description

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

  • 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 mA
  • Runs on 2.5 – 5.5 V
  • 42 kHz ultrasonic sensor
  • 20 Hz reading rate

  • 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 μs/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.
