MaxBotix MB1001 Ultrasonic Sensor

Description

Features of the MB1001, ParkSonar-EZ-72, include one-inch resolution, both proximity and range information for the nearest detectable target, and various output options: high/low logic level and RS232 serial.

The ParkSonar‑EZ line is designed to detect vehicles within a calibrated detection zone. The ParkSonar-EZ proximity sensors report when a vehicle, or other detectable target, enters the detection zone. The target is released after leaving the ParkSonar-EZ’s detection zone.

The MB1001 has a detection zone of ~6 feet. The MB1001 will allow for 14+ simultaneous sensors depending on sensor mounting and environment.

Applications: 

1. Vehicle Detection Sensor
2. Parked car detection
3. Proximity zone detection
4. Sheltered drive thru’s
5. Non-condensing environments only
6. Designed for protected indoor environments
7. Other weather resistant models available2

Features: 

1. Automatic multi-sensor operation
2. RoHS Compliant
3. Small, light weight module
4. Designed for easy integration into your project or product
5. Mounting holes provided on the circuit board (or can be grommet mounted)
6. Very low power proximity sensor, excellent for multiple sensor or battery based systems
7. Continuously gives output which frees up user processors
8. User can choose either of the two sensor outputs
9. Runs automatically or can be triggered externally
10. Fast measurement cycle

Specifications: 

1. Operates voltage: 2.5 and 5.5V
