## Description

The MB7489 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WRMI is a rugged, weather-resistant ultrasonic distance sensor designed for outdoor applications. It provides millimetre-resolution distance readings from 500mm to 5000mm using a 4–20mA analogue current output (20mA at minimum range, 4mA at maximum range), making it directly compatible with industrial PLCs and data acquisition systems. The sensor is housed in a compact, robust PVC enclosure rated to IP67, compatible with standard 3/4-inch PVC pipe fittings. It uses advanced signal processing — including continuously variable gain, real-time background calibration, waveform signature analysis, and noise rejection algorithms — to provide reliable readings even in noisy environments. Key Features Weather Resistant – IP67-rated PVC housing for outdoor use 4–20mA Output – Industry-standard analogue current interface Millimetre Resolution – ~1.6mm measurement resolution Long Range – 500mm to 5000mm detection range Intelligent Target Selection – Reports distance to the largest acoustic return, ignoring smaller targets and clutter Factory Calibrated – Narrow beam pattern for reliable long-range detection Specifications Model – MB7489 Operating Voltage – 10–32V Operating Current – 40mA Detection Range – 500–5000mm (objects closer than 500mm typically read as 500mm) Resolution – ~1.6mm Read Rate – 7.5Hz Ultrasonic Frequency – 42kHz Output – 4–20mA analogue current Operating Temperature – −40°C to +65°C Ingress Protection – IP67 Ideal For Outdoor tank and bin level monitoring Industrial distance measurement Environmental monitoring stations Automated fill-level detection Package Contents 1× MB7489 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WRMI ultrasonic sensor Resources 4-20HR-MaxSonar-WR Datasheet (PDF)
