Selection Guide
LV-MaxSonar-EZ
Some Features:
• Easy to use interface
•1 inch resolution
• Various calibrated
beam widths
• Size is less than 1
cubic inch
Part Numbers:
•MB1000
•MB1010
•MB1020
•MB1030
•MB1040
(Please see additional
information on page 4)
Possible Applications:
• Robots
• Distance measuring
• UAV
• Some industrial uses
• Autonomous
navigation
Comments:
• Power up calibration
compensates for
various mounting
arrangements and
environments. For
best operation, must
be clear for 14” during
calibration.
• NOTE: Requires user
to cycle the power to
recalibrate sensor if
the voltage,
temperature or
humidity change
during operation.
