MB7051, MB7052, MB7053, MB7060, MB7062, MB7066,
MB7070, MB7072, MB7076, MB7092, MB7150, MB71553
The XL-MaxSonar-WR and XL-MaxSonar-WRC sensor series provide users with
robust range information in air. These sensors also feature high-power acoustic
output along with real-time auto sensitivity adjustment for changing conditions
(supply voltage sag, acoustic noise, or electrical noise), operation with supply
voltage from 3V to 5.5V, object detection from 0-cm to 765-cm (select models) or
1068-cm (select models), and sonar range information from 20-cm1 out to 765-
cm (select models) or 1068-cm (select models) with 1-cm resolution. Objects from 0-cm to 20-cm1 range as 20-
cm1 or closer. The sensor is housed in a robust PVC housing, designed to meet the IP67 water intrusion
standard, and matches standard electrical/water ¾” PVC pipe fittings. The user interface formats included are
pulse-width (select models), real-time analog-voltage envelope (select models), analog voltage output, and
serial output.

10-meter models (MB7051,
MB7053, MB7066, MB7076)
• Sensor operates at 42KHz
Benefits
• Acoustic and electrical noise
resistance
• High acoustic power output
• Precise narrow beam
• Object detection includes zero range
objects
• Distance measuring
• 3V to 5.5V supply with very low
average current draw2
• Free run operation can continually
• Long range object detection
• Super high sensitivity for long range
small object detection (MB7051 &
MB7053)
• Reliable and stable range data
measure and output range information • Robust, low cost IP67 standard
sensor
• 10Hz refresh rate (MB7060,
MB7062, MB7066, MB7070,
MB7072, MB7076, MB7092,
MB7150, MB7155)
• 6.6Hz refresh rate (MB7052)
• 5.1Hz refresh rate (MB7051,
MB7053)
• Triggered operation provides the
range reading as desired
• All interfaces are active
simultaneously
• Industrial sensor -40C to +65C
(limited operation to +85C) 2
• Narrow beam characteristics
• Very low power excellent for battery
based systems
• Ranging can be triggered externally
or internally
• Sensor reports the range reading
directly, frees up user processor
• Easy hole mounting or mating with
standard electrical fittings
• Filtering allows very reliable
operation in most environments

Close Range Operation
Applications requiring 100% reading-to-reading reliability should not use MaxSonar sensors at a distance closer than 20-
cm1. Although most users find MaxSonar sensors to work reliably from 0 to 20-cm1 for detecting objects in many
applications, MaxBotix® Inc. does not guarantee operational reliability for objects closer than the minimum reported
distance. Because of ultrasonic physics, these sensors are unable to achieve 100% reliability at close distances.
