How to use ultrasonic transceiver

Support Q&A
1

Hi! I would like to know how to use this product, CUSA-TR50-05-2000-W68. When I checked the delivery, there were two wires connected to the transmitter and receiver. What exactly should I do with each of them? And what process is required to use it after connecting it? Can I use it by connecting it to Arduino?

Hello @leohyeok and welcome to the forum! Using this sensor by itself would require that you place it in a circuit that has been designed for whatever application it is you have in mind, an example circuit can be found in the datasheet for a similar ultrasonic transceiver here:

If you want to avoid designing your own circuit from scratch, there are other sensors that come pre-mounted on a PCB circuit designed to connect directly to an Arduino or similar products. A good alternative may be part number 1738-SEN0352-ND (linked here). There are several options for this type of pre-mounted sensor, I’ll link them here:

Hope this helps!

As far as I can see in the datasheet, https://www.sameskydevices.com/product/resource/cusa-tr50-05-2000-w68.pdf The sensor requires a 150 Vp-p drive signal, which is higher than the typical output of Arduino pins. Therefore, an external driver circuit capable of generating this high-voltage signal is necessary. If you’re new to working with ultrasonic sensors or high-voltage circuits, consider using ultrasonic sensor modules designed for easy integration with Arduino, such as the HC-SR04, which operates at lower voltages and comes with built-in signal processing. Here is a simple project that shows how to integrate HCSR04 with Arduino. DIY Arduino ultrasonic Sonar - Radar on TFT display - Share Project - PCBWay

Thanks, but the optimal frequency we have determined is around 58kHz, so is there no such product?

Well, due to our current situation, it has become difficult for us to use the HC-SR04 module. As a result, we have purchased components such as a MOSFET driver, DDS signal generator, converter, and inductor. In this case, would there be any issues with the implementation on the Arduino side?

I would think that as ling as the Arduino has the voltage and current ability for the circuit you are designing it should work .

Thanks Craig
