Ultrasonic sensors

[Waxman]

My Superior 700 has a front and rear ultrasonic sensor that size the car.

They have to be programmed at the factory. My question is; what are they programmed for and can this be done at the mfg./ultrasonic distributor as well as at Superior?

The programming is preset to measure distance. It is proprietary, meaning you can't buy it pre-programmed straight from the manufacturer.

This company provides,many manufacturers with ultra sonics.

On the bottom of this page you can download the software.(this is the sensor we used in the past).

You may not be change any settings in your ultrasonic ,but the software may answer the first part of your question.

Thanks. I am still trying Superior, but I need a couple ultrasonics immediately and that means I have to cover my bases.

I just got the bill for an ultrasonic for my vector--$479- I'm glad i installed it my self. Mine looks just like the iru-2000. from the apg sensors, But putting the software in it can't be that easy.

I think they just set the limits/parameters for distance to the floor.

That's about the price I paid last time I purchased one.
