Specications
Physical
Specication Measurement
Size (LxWxH) 20 × 48 × 40 mm (0.8 × 1.9 × 1.6 in.)
Weight 22 g (0.78 oz.)
Operating temperature -20 to 60°C (-4 to 140°F)
Water Resistance
Body of this device is rated IPX7, and can wthstand incidental exposure to
water of up to 1 meter for up to 30 minutes.
IMPORTANT: The bare wire portion of the wiring harness is not water
resistant, and can act as a path for water to enter the device. All bare-wire
connections must either be made in a water-tight location or properly sealed.
Water may enter under the transmitting lens. This could affect performance,
but will not affect IPX7 water resistance.

There are two basic congurations for this device:
I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit)—a serial computer bus used to
communicate between this device and a microcontroller, such as an
Arduino board (I2C Interface, page 4).
PWM (Pulse Width Modulation)—a bi-directional signal transfer method
that triggers acquisitions and returns distance measurements using the
mode-control pin (Mode Control Pin, page 4).

Item Description Notes
680µF electrolytic capacitor You must observe the correct polarity when
installing the capacitor.
Power ground (-) connection Black wire
I2C SDA connection Blue wire
I2C SCL connection Green wire
4.7kΩ pull-up resistor
(not required in all applications)
In installations with long cable extensions
or with multiple devices on the I2C bus, you
must install a 1kΩ to 10kΩ pull-up resistor
on each I2C wire to account for cable
capacitance.
It is recommended to start with 4.7kΩ
resistors and adjust if necessary.
5 Vdc power (+) connection Red wire
The sensor operates at 4.75 through 5.5 Vdc,
with a max. of 6 Vdc.
Logic rail connection The pull-up resistors connected to both I2C
wires must connect to the logic rail on your
microcontroller board.
