Image of MaxBotix's LV-MaxSonar®-EZ™ Series Sonar Range Finders MaxBotix’s LV-MaxSonar-EZ series are low power, high performance sonar range finders. With 2.5 V to 5.5 V power, the LV-MaxSonar-EZ provide very short to long-range detection and ranging in a very small package. They detect objects from 0 inches to 254 inches (6.45 meters) and provide sonar range information from 6 inches out to 254 inches with 1 inch resolution. Objects from 0 inches to 6 inches typically range as 6 inches. The interface output formats included are pulse width output, analog voltage output, and RS232 serial output. Factory calibration and testing is completed with a flat object.
