Ultrasonic Range Finder USBPRO-EZ3-MB1434

Introduction

The USB-ProxSonar-EZ provides proximity detection of objects out to a set distance, in a small and incredibly easy to use package. The USB-ProxSonar-EZ is the lowest cost USB ultrasonic sensor that features a simultaneous multi-sensor design which allows the sensor to operate even in the presence of other ultrasonic sensors. Users are able to integrate more 13+ sensors into one system and experience little to no effect from the sensor to sensor interference that can occur with other ultrasonic sensor solutions.

The USBPRO-EZ3-MB1434 ultrasonic proximity sensors feature an easy to use USB interface that connects directly to a computer with a standard Micro-B USB cable. The USB-ProxSonar-EZ sensors detect objects in a calibrated detection zone and report when an object (such as a person) enters the detection zone. The target is released after leaving the USB-ProxSonar-EZ detection zone.

This sensor will typically provide range information from 6 inches to 125 inches and Proximity detection from 1 mm to 2 feet.

Using Multiple Sensors in a Single System
The USB-ProxSonar-EZ is designed to function alongside other ultrasonic sensors operating in the same space, at the same time, on the same frequency. Industry leading firmware allows users to connect multiple sensors across a single space without worrying about sensor interference (cross-talk). Each sensor is rated to work alongside a certain number of sensors within a closed space. For users working with large open environments, or environments where sensors point in different directions, it is likely that the published recommended number of sensors can be exceeded with little or no effect on user performance.
