LV-MaxSonar®-EZ™ Series
LV-MaxSonar® - EZ™ Series
High Performance Sonar Range Finder
MB1000, MB1010, MB1020, MB1030, MB1040
With 2.5V - 5.5V power the LV-MaxSonar-EZ provides very short to long-range
detection and ranging in a very small package. The LV-MaxSonar-EZ detects
objects from 0-inches to 254-inches (6.45-meters) and provides 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-inches1. 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. 1See Close Range Operation

Close Range Operation
Applications requiring 100% reading-to-reading reliability should not use MaxSonar sensors at a distance closer than
6 inches. Although most users find MaxSonar sensors to work reliably from 0 to 6 inches for detecting objects in many
applications, MaxBotix® Inc. does not guarantee operational reliability for objects closer than the minimum reported
distance. Because of ultrasonic physics, these sensors are unable to achieve 100% reliability at close distances.

LV-MaxSonar® - EZ™ Series
Independent Sensor Operation
The LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors have the capability to operate independently when the user desires. When using the
LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors in single or independent sensor operation, it is easiest to allow the sensor to free-run. Free-run
is the default mode of operation for all of the MaxBotix Inc., sensors. The LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensors have three separate
outputs that update the range data simultaneously: Analog Voltage, Pulse Width, and RS232 Serial. Below are diagrams
on how to connect the sensor for each of the three outputs when operating in a single or independent sensor operating
environment.

Selecting an LV-MaxSonar-EZ
Different applications require different sensors. The LV-MaxSonar-EZ product line offers varied sensitivity to allow you
to select the best sensor to meet your needs.

The diagram above shows how each product balances sensitivity and noise tolerance. This does not effect the maximum
range, pin outputs, or other operations of the sensor. To view how each sensor will function to different sized targets

Background Information Regarding our Beam Patterns
Each LV-MaxSonar-EZ sensor has a calibrated beam pattern. Each sensor is matched to provide the People Sensing:

For users that
number that matches their given sensing application. Each part number has a consistent field of
desire to detect
detection so additional units of the same part number will have similar beam patterns. The beam people, the

the 1-inch
Each beam pattern is a 2D representation of the detection area of the sensor. The beam pattern is
actually shaped like a 3D cone (having the same detection pattern both vertically and horizontally).
Detection patterns for dowels are used to show the beam pattern of each sensor. Dowels are long

sensor.
people.
For each part number, the four patterns (A, B, C, and D) represent the detection zone for a given target size. Each beam
pattern shown is determined by the sensor’s part number and target size.
The actual beam angle changes over the full range. Use the beam pattern for a specific target at any given distance to
calculate the beam angle for that target at the specific distance. Generally, smaller targets are detected over a narrower
beam angle and a shorter distance. Larger targets are detected over a wider beam angle and a longer range.
