MB7052 XL-MaxSonar-WRM1 MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor

MB7052 XL-MaxSonar-WRM1 MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor

Ranges from 20cm to 765cm with a 6.7Hz read rate. Pulse-width, analog voltage, and RS232 serial. Reports range to largest target. Uses a stability filter.

The XL-MaxSonar-WRM1 ignores smaller targets and only reports the range to target with the largest acoustic return. This is one of Maxbotix advanced weather-resistant sensors designed for target detection and ranging outdoors or in tank or bin applications.

The weather-resistant XL-MaxSonar-WRM1 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.

Housing Option Available: (Specify in order note)

• 3/4" NPS WR Housing
• 3/4" NPS WRC Compact Housing
• Ultra Compact Housing
• Ultra Compact Housing Flush Mount
• 1" NPS Housing 
• 1" BSPP Housing 
• 30MM 1.5 Housing

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 virtual noise free distance readings. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources. The XL‑MaxSonar-WR sensors are factory calibrated to match narrow sensor beam patterns and provide reliable long range detection zones.

MB7060 is the standard version of this sensor.
MB7092 is an analog envelope output version of this sensor.

Models with additional chemical resistance are available

The F-Option (IP-68) design modification provides Maxbotix weather resistant sensors with extra protection against corrosive chemical environments. Ask for the F-Option (IP-68) when ordering.
