Ultrasonic Distance Sensor 60 cm to 5 m – Watertight

Description

Ultrasonic sensor capable of measuring distances between 60 cm and 5 meters. It features a single waterproof ultrasonic transducer on the front and uses the RS485 standard for communication. Up to 127 modules can be used on the same bus. It can be powered with a voltage between 8 and 24 Vdc. Power and RS485 signal are supplied to the module via a 10-pin IDC connector, making it very easy to wire a large number of modules. Particularly suitable for building robots, distance meters, etc.
