MaxBotix Inc., products are engineered and assembled in the USA.

Independent Sensor Operation

The XL-MaxSonar-EZ sensors have the capability to operate independently when the user desires. When using the

XL-MaxSonar-EZ sensors in single or independent sensor operation, it is easiest to allow the sensor to free-run. Free-run

is the default mode of operation for all of the MaxBotix Inc., sensors. The XL-MaxSonar-EZ sensors have three separate

outputs that update the range data simultaneously: Analog Voltage, Pulse Width, and RS232 Serial. Below are diagrams

on how to connect the sensor for each of the three outputs when operating in a single or independent sensor operating

environment.

Selecting a XL-MaxSonar-EZ/AE

Different applications require different sensors. The XL-MaxSonar-EZ/AE product line offers varied sensitivity to allow

you to select the best sensor to meet your needs.

The XL-MaxSonar-EZ Sensors At a Glance

The diagram above shows how each product balances sensitivity and noise tolerance. This does not affect the maximum

range, pin outputs, or other operations of the sensor. To view how each sensor will function to different sized targets

reference the XL-MaxSonar-EZ Beam Patterns.
