MaxBotix Human Detection Ultrasonic Sensor - MB1014

I. MaxBotix Human Detection SensorMB1014 Description

Human Detection Sensor MB1014Designed for pedestrian and object detection, and allows multiple sensors to operate simultaneously in the same environment. Powered by 2.5V~5.5V,MB1014Provides proximity detection of objects at specific distances in an extremely compact form factor.

Human Detection Sensor MB1014Allows users to integrate multiple sensors into a single system with little or no mutual interference that is common with other ultrasonic sensors.MB1014Key features include easy-to-use logic (high/low) output and RS232 format serial output.

About Ultrasonic Sensors
Our ultrasonic sensors perform non-contact detection in air. These ranging sensors detect objects within a region and are not affected by the color or other visual characteristics of the target. Ultrasonic sensors use high-frequency sound to detect and locate target objects in a variety of environments, measuring the time of flight of sound to the nearest target and back. Based on the time of flight, the sensor outputs a distance reading.
