SCXL‑MaxSonar‑WRC
AN | PW | Serial
Designed for applications where condensation occurs on the sensor. This sensor features a self‑cleaning transducer face, 1mm resolution, calibrated accuracy, and large target filter. Multi-sensor installations require chaining or triggered firing.
Starting at $149.95
Shop SCXL‑MaxSonar‑WRC Sensors
HRXL‑MaxSonar‑WRS
AN | PW | Serial
Higher sensitivity than standard HR products. This may be required when detecting soft or angled targets. Initial tests should be performed with lower sensitivity sensors as high gain may cause unwanted side detections.

MB1010
AN | PW | RS232
Our best selling sensor. Great for users who want to determine the range to people or other objects to distances of ~8 feet. 20Hz refresh rate.
Each $29.95
LV-ProxSonar-EZ
AN | PW | RS232
Proximity version of our best selling product. Designed for applications that only want to monitor if a target is within a defined distance with even simpler integration. (T/F output can drive software switches or other electronics.) Great for people counting and automatic switches.
Each $29.95
USB-ProxSonar-EZ
USB
Similar in function to the LV-ProxSonar sensors. These sensors feature an easy to use USB connection. Great for distributed IT networks and for a quick proof of concept from engineering. Uses the same Micro‑B USB connection as many modern cell phones.
Each $49.95
Other Sensors to Try
MB1200
AN | PW | RS232
The MB1200 is a great sensor for applications that require long range people detection. This sensor can detect people to ~17 feet. 10Hz refresh rate.
Each $44.95
MB1210
AN | PW | RS232
The MB1210 is capable of detecting people to ~12 feet. This is great for users who need the range capability of the MB1200 but want a narrower detection area than the MB1200. 10Hz refresh rate.
Each $44.95
MB1240
AN | PW | RS232
The MB1240 offers the narrowest detection zone and the greatest noise tolerance. Determines the range to people out to ~4 feet. 10Hz refresh rate.
Each $39.95
MB1040
AN | PW | RS232
Narrow detection zone similar to the MB1240. Determines the range to people out to ~3.5 feet. 20Hz refresh rate.
Each $29.95
