The MB7068 XL-MaxSonar-WRC offers an additional stability filter for all outputted range readings. This provides users with an extra layer of protection from noise and anomalous readings.
For users that can afford the extra mounting size and weight selecting the similar MB7062 unit is recommended for better performance.
Compact outdoor ultrasonic rangefinder component modules
The weather resistant XL-MaxSonar-WRC is a rugged ultrasonic sensor component module. This outdoor sensor provides very short to long distance detection and ranging in a compact, robust PVC housing. The ultrasonic sensor meets the IP67 water intrusion standard and matches standard electrical 3/4‑inch PVC pipe fittings.
High output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real‑time background automatic calibration, real‑time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms results in virtually noise free distance readings. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources. The XL‑MaxSonar-WRC sensors are factory calibrated to match narrow sensor beam patterns and provide reliable long range detection zones.
A few of our most popular outdoor modules have been made available in a lighter, more compact, package.
The MB7060 is the standard version of this sensor.
The MB7067 is the non-filtered version of this sensor.
The MB7078 is an analog envelope output version of this sensor.
Models with additional chemical resistance are available
