PIEZO ULTRASONIC TRANSDUCER

The 9000 Sonar Ranging Module is a new transducer driver board. It provides engineers and designers with a fast and easy solution to interfacing Piezo ultrasonic transducers, such as the 9000 series transducer, with the external circuitry or a controller for ultrasonic sensing in a variety of applications. It operates on 5 VDC and provides a TTL pulse-width output proportional to distance-to-target. As a matched component pair, the 9000 transducer and ranging module can detect objects or liquid surfaces from 1¢ to 18¢ (0.3 to 5.5 m). Common applications include liquid-level sensing in tanks, an anti-collision sensor for AGVs, and other industrial environment applications.

Also available is the Series 9000 OEM Kit for prototype and technology feasibility studies, as well as an instructional tool for studies in ultrasonic measurement and proximity experiments in high school and university labs.

The 9000 module costs $24.70 each in 10-piece quantities. The 9000 OEM Kit costs $103.
