Overview
The MB2532 IRXL-MaxSonar-CSA3 is a high-performance ultrasonic rangefinder sensor optimized for precision cargo monitoring and large object detection. With its compact size (less than one cubic inch) and weighing only 5.6 grams, operates efficiently within a wide voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V while consuming an average current of just 1.65 mA at 5V., it provides a cost-effective and versatile solution for detecting objects from 50 cm to 16.5 meters.
The sensor provides multiple output signals including analog voltage envelope, and serial data (RS232/TTL), depending on the appication needs.
It also provides excellent noise rejection, temperature compensation, and maintaining accuracy across varying environmental conditions, making it ideal for demanding applications.
