Using Multiple Sensors in a Single System

The ParkSonar-EZ sensor is designed to function alongside other ultrasonic sensors operating in the same space, at the

same time, on the same frequency. Each ParkSonar-EZ sensor is tolerant of approximately 14 or more nearby sensors,

depending on sensor mounting and environment. Our industry leading firmware allows users to connect multiple sensors

across a single space without worrying about sensor interference (cross-talk). Each sensor is rated to work alongside a

number of sensors within a closed space. For users working with large open environments or environments where sensors

point in different directions, or are spaced every 8 – 10 feet the recommended number of sensors will have little or no

effect on user performance. For densely placed sensors, user testing for sensor interference is recommended.

ParkSonar-EZ Trigger Distance

Each of the ParkSonar-EZ sensors has a set trigger distance. Objects closer than this distance that fall within the sensor

detection zone can be detected and reported to the end user. The detection zone of each sensor is provided in the chart

below for easy comparison.

The chart below shows the value of the trigger distance of the full serial output. Reference Pin 5 description on page 2 of

this datasheet.

Range Information Filtering

Range information sent to the user is filtered and will only respond to slow moving or stationary targets (less than

2 inches per second or 5 cm per second).

Part # Set Distance

MB1001 ~6 feet (Value of R072*)

MB1002 ~7 feet (Value of R084*)

MB1005 ~8 feet (Value of R096*)

MB1006 ~9 feet (Value of R108*)

MB1007 ~10 feet (Value of R120*)

MB1008 ~11 feet (Value of R132*)

MB1009 ~12 feet (Value of R144*)

Note: *Lower value will cause object detection
