MB7066 XL-MaxSonar-WRL1 MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor

MB7066 XL-MaxSonar-WRL1 MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor

Ranges from 20cm to 1068cm with a 10Hz read rate. Pulse-width, analog voltage, and RS232 serial. Reports range to the closest target.

The XL-MaxSonar-WRL1 is Maxbotix longest range (10m) outdoor sensor.

The weather-resistant XL-MaxSonar-WR 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-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.
MB7076 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.
