Description

The Moresense MS10-1918S26M4 utilizes a 10.5-10.55GHz ultrasonic frequency band for precise distance sensing up to 4 meters. This high-frequency operation allows the sensor to penetrate thin, non-metallic obstructions, providing reliable detection in complex environments. The module incorporates an advanced adaptive calibration algorithm that actively mitigates interference, ensuring consistent and reliable ranging data even in dynamically changing conditions.

Designed for embedded and portable systems, the sensor supports a configurable dual-power mode: a standard 26mA operating current for high-performance sensing and an ultra-low 51µA sleep/standby mode to drastically extend battery life. Its 3.3V DC power requirement and standard digital communication protocols (UART, I2C) ensure straightforward compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers and single-board computers, facilitating rapid prototyping and system integration.

Key Features

  • High-frequency 10.5GHz ultrasonic transducer for accurate, long-range detection up to 4 meters.
  • Dual operating power modes: Standard mode (26mA) and Ultra-Low Power mode (51µA) for optimized energy management.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage for the MS10-1918S26M4 sensor?

The sensor operates on a 3.3V DC supply. It is designed for direct compatibility with common 3.3V logic microcontrollers like ESP32, STM32, and many ARM-based boards. Ensure your power source can provide stable 3.3V to avoid measurement inaccuracies or module damage.

What communication interfaces does this ultrasonic module support?

The module provides three interface options: UART (serial), I2C, and GPIO (digital pulse). You can select the desired mode via configuration. The I2C interface allows easy daisy-chaining with other sensors, while UART offers straightforward serial data reading. GPIO mode provides a simple digital echo or trigger pulse.

How do the two power consumption modes work?

The sensor features two modes: a Standard operating mode drawing approximately 26mA for continuous, high-performance ranging, and an Ultra-Low Power mode consuming only 51µA, typically used for periodic sampling or sleep states. The mode can be selected via software command to optimize battery life in portable applications.

Can this sensor detect objects through materials like glass?

Yes, due to its high 10.5GHz operating frequency, the ultrasonic waves can penetrate thin, non-metallic materials such as acrylic, glass, and certain plastics. This makes it suitable for behind-panel detection, enclosed container level sensing, or applications where the sensor must be protected behind a cover.

What is the beam angle and how does it affect detection?

The sensor has a wide ±60° antenna beam angle. This broad field of view is excellent for general presence detection but means objects at the edge of the range may be detected earlier than those directly ahead. For precise directional ranging, consider the beam pattern when mounting the sensor.
