The LVU30 Series of RoHS
Compliant low-cost ultrasonic
sensors that produce detection
ranges from as close as 100 mm
(4") to greater than 4 m (13').
Incorporating state-of-the-art
ultrasonic technology, the sensors
provide precision non-contact
distance measurement for factory
automation or industrial process
control. The LVU30 series of
sensors stand out over all other
systems because of their
affordability, extraordinary ease of
operation, genuinely user-friendly
software, versatility in usercontrolled outputs, and the ability to
be set up without using a target.
They transmit narrow beam sound
pulses at a user-selected rate
(software triggered), the process
returns echoes, and various
outputs depending on the position
of the target and programming
parameters.
