XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Product Description
The XL-MaxSonar-AE sensors have a low power requirement of 3.3V - 5.5V and operation provides very short to long-range detection and ranging, in a tiny and compact form factor.

The MB1300 sensor series detects objects from 0-cm 1 to 765-cm (25.1 feet) or 1068cm (35 feet) (select models) and provide sonar range information from 20-cm out to 765-cm or 1068-cm (select models) with 1-cm resolution. Objects from 0-cm to 20-cm typically range as 20-cm. The interface output formats included are real-time analog voltage envelope, analog voltage output, and serial digital output.

XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Features
? High acoustic power output
? Real-time auto calibration and noise rejection for every ranging cycle

XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Benefits
? Acoustic and electrical noise resistance
? Reliable and stable range data
? Low cost
? Quality controlled beam characteristics
? Very low power ranger, excellent for multiple sensor or battery based systems
? Ranging can be triggered externally or internally
? Sensor reports the range reading directly, frees up user processor
? Fast measurement cycle
? User can choose any of the sensor outputs
? Easy mounting
? No power up calibration required
? Perfect for objects may be directly in front of the sensor during power up

XL-MaxSonar-AE Series Ultrasonic Rangefinders Applications and Uses
? Bin level measurement
? Proximity zone detection
? People detection
? Robot ranging sensor
? Autonomous navigation
? Environments with acoustic and electrical noise
? Multi-sensor arrays
? Distance measuring
? Long range object detection
? Users who prefer to process the analog voltage envelope (MB1300 series)
? -40°C to +65°C operation (+85°C limited operation) (40°C to 0°C recommended operation in environments that are non-frosting, non-condensation, and indoor only)
