MB7566 SCXL-MaxSonar-WRL MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor MaxBotix

MB7566 SCXL-MaxSonar-WRL MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor

Ranges from 500mm to 9999mm with a 0.6Hz read rate. Pulse-width, analog voltage, and RS232 serial. Reports range to the closest target.

The MB7566 weather-resistant SCXL-MaxSonar-WR self‑cleaning sensor is a rugged ultrasonic sensor component module. This outdoor sensor provides very short to long distance detection and ranging in a compact, robust PVC housing. The ultrasonic sensor meets the IP67 water intrusion standard and matches standard electrical 3/4‑inch PVC pipe fittings.

The MB7566 SCXL‑MaxSonar‑WRL features a self-cleaning transducer to remove condensation and ice buildup when operating in cold conditions. The MB7566 SCXL-MaxSonar-WRL self‑cleaning ultrasonic sensor also features a maximum range of 10 meters to large targets.

High output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real‑time background automatic calibration, real‑time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms results in virtually noise free distance readings. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources. The SCXL‑MaxSonar-WR sensors are factory calibrated to match narrow sensor beam patterns and provide reliable long-range detection zones.

MB7586 is the TTL version of this sensor.
MB7560 is the 5‑meter version of this sensor.

Models with additional chemical resistance are available

The F-Option (IP-68) design modification provides Maxbotix weather resistant sensors with extra protection against corrosive chemical environments. Ask for the F-Option (IP-68) when ordering.
