MAXBOTICS SENSOR CONE

RANGE/SENSITIVITY ENHANCER FOR MAXBOTICS ULTRASONIC SENSOR

A low cost way to wring the maximum performance from your ultrasonic range finder.

Improves the following performance characteristics:

• The over-all range of the unit  
• The directional properties of the unit (senses in the direction pointed)
• The sensitivity of the unit
  • Smaller targets can be detected
  • Better luck detecting  acoustically "soft" targets like cloth, stuffed animals, fur etc.

How to use:

• Simply slip the unit over the black case of the transducer for instant improvements over no cone at all
• For a more permanent assembly a piece of tape to increase the friction fit or a dab of glue

*Warning!  The range can be increased to the point that detection of "old" ping signals results in erratic readings if range to target and speed of sound is not taken into account.
