Maxbotix manufacture many sensors which can withstand harsh outdoor conditions. When dust, moisture, or harsh handling of the ultrasonic sensor is unavoidable, then this MaxBotix MB7563 SCXL-MaxSonar-WRLS Ultrasonic Sensor is ideal for your application.
Features of the weather-resistant MB7563, SCXL-MaxSonar-WRLS, include reduced impact of condensation and frost when ran continuously in closed or high-moisture environments, millimeter resolution, short to long-distance detection, range information from 300mm to 5000mm to the target with the largest acoustic return, a 0.57Hz read rate, and various output options: pulse-width, analog voltage, and RS232 serial.
The MB7563 from the SCXL-MaxSonar-WRLS line of outdoor sensors is a rugged ultrasonic sensor component module. This sensor comes in a compact and robust PVC housing that meets the IP67 water intrusion standard and matches standard electrical 3/4‑inch PVC pipe fittings (this product has multiple housing options available).
The SCXL-MaxSonar-WRLS sensors are factory calibrated to match narrow sensor beam patterns and provide reliable long-range detection zones.
The MB7563 reports the distance to the largest acoustic return while ignoring smaller targets. When targets are of similar amplitude reflections, preference is given to the closest target. This gives users the flexibility to consistently detect larger targets in the presence of clutter and noise.
