Introduction
The weather resistant MB7076 XL-MaxSonar-WRLA1 sensor features centimeter resolution and a 10Hz read rate, provides short to long distance detection and range information from 20cm to 1064cm for the nearest detectable target, and includes various output options: analog envelope, analog voltage, and RS232 serial.
The MB7076 from the XL-MaxSonar-WR line of outdoor sensors is a rugged ultrasonic sensor component module. This sensor comes in a compact and robust PVC housing which meets the IP67 water intrusion standard and matches standard electrical 3/4-inch PVC pipe fittings.
The XL-MaxSonar-WR sensors are factory calibrated to match narrow sensor beam patterns and provide reliable long-range detection zones.
In addition, the MB7076 offers virtually noise free distance readings through the use of high-output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real-time background automatic calibration, real-time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources.
