I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ Series Ultrasonic Sensors Product Description
The I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ series offers industrial ultrasonic sensors with an easy to use I2C interface. These sensors have a high acoustic power output along with real-time auto calibration for changing conditions (voltage and acoustic or electric noise) that ensure users receive the most reliable (in air) ranging data for every reading taken. The low power 3V - 5.5V operation provides very short to long-range detection and ranging, in a compact form factor. The I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ detect objects from 0-cm to 765-cm (25.1 feet) and provide sonar range information from 20-cm or 25-cm out to 765-cm with 1-cm resolution. Objects from 0-cm to minimum distance typically range as minimum
distance. 

I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ Series Ultrasonic Sensors Features
? I2C bus communication allows rapid control of multiple sensors with only two wires
? High acoustic power output
? Real-time auto calibration and noise rejection for every ranging cycle
? Calibrated beam patterns
? Continuously variable gain
? Object presence information as close as 1-mm from the sensor. Range information starting at min. distance.
? 3V to 5.5V supply with very low average current draw
? Readings can occur up to every 25mS (40Hz rate) 4 for up-close objects. 15Hz rate for full range.
? Triggered operation provides a new range reading as desired
? Ultrasonic signal frequency of 42KHz
? Status pin available to determine sensor state
? Power-up address reset pin available
? Physical dimensions match other XL-MaxSonar-EZ products
? Operational temperature from 0°C to +65°C (32°F to +149°F)

I2CXL-MaxSonar-EZ Series Ultrasonic Sensors Low Power Requirement
? Wide, low supply voltage requirements eases battery powered design
? Low current draw reduces current drain for battery operation
? Fast first reading after power-up eases battery requirements
