  • Resolution of 1 inch
  • 20Hz reading rate
  • 42kHz Ultrasonic sensor measures distance to objects
  • RoHS Compliant
  • Read from all 3 sensor outputs: Analog Voltage, RS232 Serial, Pulse Width
  • Virtually no sensor dead zone, objects closer than 6 inches range as 6 inches
  • Maximum Range of 254 inches (645 cm)
  • Operates from 2.5-5.5V
  • Low 2.0mA average current requirement
  • Small, lightweight module
  • Designed for easy integration into your project or product
  • Narrow beam and good side object rejection
  • Best for large object detection applications

Features of the MB1030, LV-MaxSonar-EZ3, include one-inch resolution, a narrow beam as well as excellent side object rejection, range information from 6 inches to 254 inches, a 20Hz read rate, and various output options: pulse-width, analog voltage, and RS232 serial.

The MB1030 has a slightly wider beam width than the MB1040 which makes it a good choice for applications where the MB1043 does not have enough sensitivity.

The MB1030 from the LV-MaxSonar-EZ line of sensors is a very small, less than one cubic inch, ultrasonic sensor component module. This sensor comes with mounting holes provided on the circuit board for easy installation in nearly all applications.

In addition, the MB1030 learns the ringdown pattern when commanded to start ranging. This helps the sensor to learn the environment and can help the sensor ignore obstacles that are present at power-up.

The color of any exposed epoxy will be black or gray, rather than only gray.

The paint dots are removed from the sensors and replaced with part number labels.
