DYP-A01C IP67 Waterproof Ultrasonic Distance Sensor With Extended Horn For Waste Bin Level And Smart Parking Applications

The DYP-A01C is an IP67-rated, integrated ultrasonic distance sensor that measures from 28 cm to 250 cm with mm-level resolution. It works at 40 kHz and uses a waterproof ultrasonic transducer with a dedicated extended horn, which gives a long, narrow detection zone for larger-range requirements. A high-performance processor, internal temperature compensation and firmware filtering keep readings stable from -15 deg C to +60 deg C. The average current draw is 10 mA and the standby current is below 10 uA, so it suits battery-powered and always-on devices.
The A01C series is tuned for waste bin level monitoring. Its dedicated algorithm filters out bin borders and interfering objects, so overflow status is measured accurately instead of being skewed by walls or lids. UART auto, UART controlled and RS485 output options let you connect it to microcontrollers, industrial gateways and IoT nodes. The module is small, lightweight, CE and RoHS compliant, and well-suited to smart-city bins, smart parking systems and slow-moving-target detection.
Key Features

Extended Horn Design: Dedicated bell-mouth horn for a long, narrow detection zone and a larger detection range.
28 cm to 250 cm Range: Measuring range of the A01C waste bin variant.
IP67 Enclosure: Waterproof, dust-protected housing for outdoor and damp environments.
Waste-Bin Level Algorithm: Filters bin borders and interfering objects for accurate overflow detection.
mm-Level Resolution: Fine distance output for precise fill-level tracking.
Internal Temperature Compensation: Keeps measurements consistent as temperature changes.
Accuracy: +/-(1 + S x 0.3%) on flat objects, where S is the measuring range.
Multiple Output Interfaces: UART auto, UART controlled and RS485 for the A01C series.
Flexible Input Voltage: 3.3 V to 5.0 V or 5.0 V to 12.0 V, depending on the variant.
Low Power Consumption: 10 mA average current and standby current below 10 uA.
Noise Tolerance: Firmware filtering for clutter rejection and stable output.
28 cm Dead Zone: Objects closer than 28 cm are reported as 28 cm.
Compact And Lightweight: Easy to integrate into your project or product.
Compliance: CE and RoHS compliant.
