Frequently Asked Questions

What is the communication protocol and how do I connect this sensor?

This sensor uses a UART (TTL) serial interface. Connect the sensor's TX pin to your microcontroller's RX pin and the RX pin to the microcontroller's TX pin, ensuring a common ground. The baud rate is configurable between 9600 and 115200 bps, allowing compatibility with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and industrial PLCs.

What is the operating voltage range and power requirement?

The module operates from a wide 5.0V to 12.0V DC power supply. This flexibility allows it to be powered directly from common microcontroller 5V rails, 9V batteries, or regulated 12V industrial power sources. Ensure your power supply can provide stable voltage within this range.

Is this sensor suitable for outdoor or wet environments?

Yes, the sensor features an IP65-rated enclosure, making it dust-tight and protected against low-pressure water jets from any direction. It is suitable for outdoor applications, industrial settings, or any environment where exposure to dust and water is a concern, though it is not designed for submersion.

What is the minimum and maximum measurable distance?

The specified measurement range is from 10 cm to 80 cm. The sensor may not provide reliable readings below 10 cm due to ultrasonic pulse timing constraints. For targets beyond 80 cm, the signal may be too weak, reducing accuracy and reliability.
