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 many sensors into one system and experience little to no effect from the sensor to sensor interference that can occur with other ultrasonic sensor solutions.

Features:

• USB interface for simple computer
connection and installation.
• USB Micro-B connector matches
that used on most modern cell
phones
• Simple True/False output and
optional range output
• ~2.5 second object acquire time2
~1.5 second object release time2
• Filtered range output allows ranging
and multi-sensor operation
• Zero range object detection
• Free run operation continually
measures and outputs proximity
information
• Continuously variable gain for
control and side lobe suppression
• Learns nearby environment once
connected or powered-up
• Proximity detection from 1 mm to
set trigger distance
• Sensor operates at 42KHz
• Range information from 6 inches to
125 inches

Benefits:

• USB interface for easy integration
• Very low cost USB proximity sensor
• Simultaneously use up to 20 sensors
in the same environment1
• Easily deploy network-based IT
solutions with integrated ultrasonic
sensors
• Reliable proximity information
• Sensor is both a rangefinder and a
proximity sensor. Detection zone is
from 0 foot to preset range of 1 foot
to 5 feet
• Outputs allow users to get reliable
proximity information at any time
• Mounting holes provided
• Fast measurement cycle
