Weather Resistant (IP67) Sonar Range
Finder with High Power Output, Noise Rejection,
Auto Calibration & Long-Range Narrow Detection Zone
This sensor provides very short to long-range detection and ranging, in a compact, robust PVC
housing, designed to meet IP67 water intrusion, and matches standard electrical ¾” PCV pipe fittings.
This sensor has a new high power output along with real-time auto calibration for changing conditions
(temperature, voltage or acoustic or electrical noise) that ensure you receive the most reliable (in air)
ranging data for every reading taken. The low power 3.0V to 5.5V operation detects objects from 0-cm
to 765-cm (25.1 feet) and provides sonar range information from 20-cm out to765-cm with 1-cm
resolution. Objects from 0-cm to 20-cm range as 20-cm. The interface output formats included are
pulse width output (MB7060), real-time analog voltage envelope (MB7070), analog voltage output,
and serial digital output.

MB7070
Features
• High acoustic power output
• Real-time auto calibration and
noise rejection for every ranging
cycle
• Precise narrow beam
• Continuously variable gain
• Object detection includes zero
range objects
• 3.0V to 5.5V supply with very
low average current draw
• Readings can occur up to every
100mS, (10-Hz rate)
• Free run operation can
continually measure and output
range information
• Triggered operation provides the
range reading as desired
• All interfaces are active
simultaneously
• Serial, 0 to Vcc, 9600Baud, 81N
• Analog, (Vcc/1024) / cm
• Pulse Width (MB7060)
• Real-time analog envelope
(MB7070)
• Sensor operates at 42KHz
Benefits
• Acoustic and electrical noise
resistance
• Reliable and stable range data
• Sensor dead zone virtually gone
• Low cost IP67 sensor
• Quality narrow beam
characteristics
• Very low power ranger, excellent
for multiple sensor or battery
based systems
• Ranging can be triggered
externally or internally
• Sensor reports the range reading
directly, frees up user processor
• Fast measurement cycle
• User can choose any
of the sensor outputs
• No power up calibration required,
perfect for when objects may be
directly in front of the sensor
during power up
• Easy mounting or mating with
standard electrical fittings
