Timing Description

The ParkSonar-EZ sensor is ready to accept the RX command 250mS after power-up. If the RX pin is left open or held

high, the sensor will first run a calibration cycle (49mS) and then it will take a range reading (49mS). After the power up

delay, the first reading will take an additional ~100mS. Subsequent readings will continue to occur every 50ms to

~1 second.

When an object is placed in the sensor detection zone, the sensor will “acquire” the target in ~10 seconds and begin

sending the appropriate serial output and set the PW pin high.

If the detected object then leaves the sensor detection zone the sensor will “release” the target ~5 seconds later. At this

time, the PW pin will be set low. Release time can be influenced by other nearby sensors and may appear to be longer in

applications with many nearby sensors.
