Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor

Hardware Manual Rev 1r0

FEATURES & SPECIFICATIONS

7 12VDC power supply or ba!ery
Z8E04 MCU
8 inches minimum, 58 maximum
one push bu!on for se"ng target distance
1 logic output. Indicates the presence of an object
Serial interface Analog Interface for distance readout
Sensors extension port

Detects object up to 5 feet away! This sensor detects objects by resolving ultrasonic echo return "me.
Actual distance is measured internally for detec"on, making range and object sensing easy and reliable. Detec"on distance can be set from 5 inches to 72 inches at the touch of a bu#on. Serial output op"on is available to allow transfer of raw distance measurements data to a PC, Actual distance is measured internally for
detec"on, making range and object sensing easy and reliable. Detec"on distance can be set from 5 inches to
72 inches at the touch of a bu#on.

MAJOR COMPONENTS PRESENTATION & SETTINGS

Figure 1. Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor V2 and its major components.

Instruc#ons for se"ng desired maximum distance:
1.Press/Hold push bu!on un#l green LED flashes.
2.Aim the sensor at your desired distance towards your target object.
3.Press/Hold push bu!on again un#l green LED turns off.
Alignment Procedure
It is important to make sure that the sensors receiver is tuned to the ultrasonic transmi!er to achieve
op#mum performance. Alignment of the sensor has a big effect on its sensi#vity and range. The intensity of
the blinking yellow LED indicates if the sensors receiver is tuned properly. High intensity means good alignment. If for any reason the receiver needs to be align, simply rotate experimentally the small trimmer resistor
located at the copper side of the PCB un#l maximum intensity of the yellow LED is obtained.
