    FAQ
    ❯

    A: This ultrasonic communication sensor operates on 4.75–5.25 V DC, with a typical voltage of 5 V DC. It supports reverse polarity protection, and the input ripple should stay ≤50 mVpp while input noise should stay ≤100 mVpp. Standby current is <20 mA, maximum operating current is <120 mA, and peak current can reach ≤500 mA. Power-on time is ≤200 ms, so allow at least 0.2 s before expecting valid communication.

    ❯

    A: This ultrasonic communication sensor supports UART Controlled and RS485 output types. Its UART interface is TTL 3.3 V, default baud rate 115200, with 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit. It also supports Modbus-RTU, default sensor address 0x01 (configurable), read function code 0x03, write function code 0x06, and CRC-16/MODBUS. Baud rate is configurable via register 0x0201, and feedback can be enabled via register 0x023F.

    ❯

    A: This ultrasonic communication sensor offers a maximum communication distance of 1–2000 cm with a communication angle of 360° and communication accuracy ≥99%. The remote control delay is ≤510 ms, and the repeat communication cycle is ≥900 ms. The communication test was performed in a 20×12 m pool, 1.3 m depth, calm water, no flow or obstacles, flat bottom, so real-world performance may vary with reflections and turbulence.
