MB1240 XL-MaxSonar-EZ4 High Performance Ultrasonic Rangefinder

MB1240 XL-MaxSonar-EZ4
High Performance Ultrasonic Rangefinder

MB1240 XL-MaxSonar-EZ4 Ultrasonic Rangefinder Product Description
The XL-MaxSonar-EZ4 has the highest noise tolerance and narrowest beam of any of our indoor sensors. The sensor is designed and calibrated to provide reliable range information to large targets even in environments with strong acoustic or electrical noise sources.

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 XL-MaxSonar-EZ4 performance to large targets is only beaten by the MB7052.
