This is the new, weather resistant, field-hardened, industrial level's ultrasonic sensor from Maxbotix. MaxBotix ultrasonic sensor XL series features higher resolution, longer range, higher power output and better calibration when compared to the LV version.
The WR1 uses a robust PVC housing, is designed to meet IP67 water intrusion, and matches standard electrical 3/4" PVC pipe fittings. The sensor provides very accurate readings from 0 to 765cm (0 to 25.1ft) with 1cm resolution. This sensor can be powered with anywhere between 3.3 and 5VDC.
Range information can be gathered through one of three methods - pulse width, analog and serial - all of which are active at the same time. The analog output will produce a voltage proportional to the measured distance, with a sensitivity of (Vcc/1024)V/cm. The serial interface is simple and formatted to RS-232, with voltages ranging from 0 to Vcc and terminal settings of 9600-8-N-1. There are many models under XL-WR, the one we are carrying is MB7060. It does not come with the mounting bracket.
