Introduction
Highlights
The USSM1.0 PLUS-FS is a versatile and reliable ultrasonic
Time-of-Flight (ToF) range sensor which offers a user-friendly
all-in-one package that already includes the driver, providing
advanced ultrasonic signal processing using a high-end
application-specific integrated circuit chip (ASIC). It allows
custom-specific parametrization and provides reliable signal
readings through its interface.
TDK’s USSM1.0 PLUS-FS is a front chassis mounting sensor with an integrated socket connector. It
supports mounting with a threaded locking nut and via snap hooks. The sensor is dust and water
resistant on the front side. With an optional flat gasket, a water and dust protected seal can be easily
achieved towards the chassis in which it is installed. The sensor works in a wide range of light
conditions, including full sunlight, and provides an accurate range of measurements independent of the
target’s color and optical transparency. This and its robust sensor housing make the sensor ideal for
many outdoor applications. The sensor’s detection characteristics can be customized and optimized to
the requirements of the application. Several algorithms can further process the range information for a
variety of use cases in a broad spectrum of applications.
The USSM1.0 PLUS-FS is a pulse-echo product intended for range-finding and presence-detection
applications, using a single sensor for the transmission and reception of ultrasonic pulses (solo mode).
For close-range detection down to 4 cm, two or more USSM1.0 PLUS-FS can be used in the so-called
pitch-and-catch mode where one sensor is the sender, and the others act as receivers for the ultrasonic
pulse echoes.
