MB7586 SCXL-MaxSonar-WRLT MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor MaxBotix

MB7586 SCXL-MaxSonar-WRLT MaxBotix Ultrasonic Sensor

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

Features of the weather resistant MB7586, SCXL-MaxSonar-WRLT, include reduced impact of condensation and frost when ran continuously in closed or high-moisture environments, millimeter resolution, short to long distance detection, range information from 500mm to 9999mm for the nearest detectable target, a 0.6Hz read rate, and various output options: pulse-width, analog voltage, and TTL serial.

The MB7586 from the SCXL-MaxSonar-WR line of outdoor sensors is a rugged ultrasonic sensor component module. This sensor comes in a compact and robust PVC housing which meets the IP67 water intrusion standard and matches standard electrical 3/4‑inch PVC pipe fittings.

The SCXL-MaxSonar-WR sensors are factory calibrated to match narrow sensor beam patterns and provide reliable long-range detection zones.

In addition, the MB7586 offers virtually noise free distance readings through the use of high-output acoustic power combined with continuously variable gain, real‑time background automatic calibration, real‑time waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms. This holds true even in the presence of many of the various acoustic or electrical noise sources.

Variations on this sensor model

MB7566 is the RS232 version of this sensor.
MB7580 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.
