• Power consumption 10mA while charging.
• Can be read once in 250 ms in normal operation mode.
• Can be read continuously for 1 second in fast access mode. ( only fully charged, after this cycle you'll need to wait for few seconds for the sensor to get charged completely again.)
• More sensitive and with more usable range.
• Range: 10 - 80 cms.
• Size: 2 studs x 6 studs
• The white connectors shown in the picture are for illustration purpose. If you are using non-lego wires, you may attach this connector.
