• Introducing
The AGV-1000 ultrasonic collision avoidance system is designed to provide
a flexible solution for automated vehicles and other collision avoidance
applications. The system can be configured with up to six transducers
(standard), with the option of up to eight transducers for a wide coverage area.
The AGV-1000 is designed with the following features:
• Short and long range modes, each with eight programmable “SLOW” and
“STOP” functions.
• The ability to temporarily disable specific transducers to prevent
unwanted object detection.
• Adjustable random pulsing to reduce transducer cross-talk and multiple
echo interference.
• Transducer error detection circuitry, with an “ERROR” output and
programmable “SLOW” or “STOP” on error functions.
• Programmable adjustments for transmit signal strength and return signal
amplification.
• Redundant “STOP” outputs for added safety.
• RS-232 interface.
• 10 to 30 VDC operating voltage.
