Ultrasonic Distance / Proximity Converters  

  • Low Power Consumption

  • Low Cost $77 in hundreds

  •  Size (50 x 50 x 23 mm)

HXC series is a distance monitor priced at around USD 77 in hundreds. It uses a broad beam transceiver, and is therefore less sensitive to the orientation of the object. It is useful for position or level measurements in cases where the objects are not necessarily flat and orderly. And it may also be useful for liquid level measurement. The table below is a general selection guide, if you don't find a device that suits your application, let us know we can change the parameters.

Brown  Variable voltage (max drive capacity 5mA)
Black Gnd (return)

The illustration below shows how the HXC converter series can be applied. The brown wire is connected to a volt meter. 

In case of the Distance to Voltage converters the voltage is proportional to the distance or 

Voltage (brown wire) = 0.625 * D ........... varies from 0.19 to 5 volts

In case of the Proximity to Voltage converters the relationship is as follows

Voltage (brown wire) = 0.625 * (8 - D) ............. varies from 0 to 4.8 volts

Where D is the distance between the reflecting surface and the converter. Max Distance is as specified in the Distance to Voltage converters, or Proximity to Voltage tables below
