## Description

The DFRobot URM15 is an industrial-grade ultrasonic ranging sensor with an IP65-rated waterproof probe. It provides an effective measuring range of 30–500 cm (tested against a flat wall) and communicates via an RS485 interface using the standard Modbus RTU protocol, making it compatible with PLCs and other industrial controllers. The sensor features a 75 kHz ultrasonic transducer with a 40 mm diameter, delivering a relatively narrow beam angle (20° ±2°) and high sensitivity. Built-in temperature compensation — selectable between onboard and external sources — helps reduce the impact of ambient temperature variations on measurement accuracy. Key Features IP65 Waterproof Probe – Suitable for outdoor and harsh-environment installations RS485 / Modbus RTU – Standard industrial communication protocol Configurable Address & Serial Parameters – Supports multiple sensors on a single bus Temperature Compensation – Onboard or external, for improved accuracy across temperature ranges Narrow Beam Angle – 20° ±2° (−6 dB) for focused detection Specifications Operating Voltage – 5–12 V DC Max Instantaneous Current – 350 mA Effective Measuring Range – 30–500 cm Distance Resolution – 10 mm Distance Error – ±1% Temperature Resolution – 0.1 °C Temperature Error – ±1 °C Measuring Frequency – 10 Hz Operating Temperature – −10 °C to +70 °C Operating Humidity – RH <75% Acoustic Frequency – 75 kHz ±2% Directional Angle – 20° ±2° (−6 dB) Communication – RS485 (Modbus RTU) Resources Product Wiki Package Contents 1× URM15 75 kHz Ultrasonic Sensor
