Physical
Specication 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 congurations 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).

➎
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.
➏
5 Vdc power (+) connection Red wire
The sensor operates at 4.75 through 5.5 Vdc,
with a max. of 6 Vdc.
➐
Logic rail connection The pull-up resistors connected to both I2C
wires must connect to the logic rail on your
microcontroller board.
