XL-MaxSonar-EZ0 High Performance Ultrasonic Rangefinder - MB1200

Product Specification

MB1200 XL-MaxSonar-EZ0
High Performance Ultrasonic Rangefinder

MB1200 XL-MaxSonar-EZ0 Ultrasonic Rangefinder Product Description
The XL-MaxSonar-EZ0 offers the widest and most sensitive beam pattern of any indoor sensor we currently offer. This makes the XL-MaxSonar-EZ0 an excellent choice wherever wide beam detection, reliable people detection, or reliable small obstacle detection are required.

The sensor is small in size, yet the high output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real-time background automatic calibration, real-time waveform signature analysis, and real-time noise rejection algorithms results in virtually noise free distance readings for most users. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources. The XL-MaxSonar-EZ sensor line is factory calibrated to match the sensor beam patterns and provides a long range detection zone.

The MB1260 is an extra-long range version of this sensor.
