Benewake TF-UW500 Underwater Single Point LiDAR Sensor - UART, 5V, <0.5° FOV, Up to 5m Range
The Benewake TF-UW500 is a high-precision, single-point ToF LiDAR sensor engineered for demanding underwater distance measurement applications. Operating at 5V DC with a UART interface, it provides stable, sub-centimeter accuracy up to 5 meters, even in high ambient light conditions up to 100kLux, making it suitable for integration into ROVs, underwater robotics, and industrial inspection systems.
Features
- Underwater ranging up to 5 meters with <3 cm accuracy and 1 mm resolution.
- Narrow field of view (<0.5°) for precise single-point targeting in turbid or cluttered environments.
- High ambient light immunity (100kLux) ensures stable performance in bright underwater conditions.
- Compact 24 x 16 mm module with 5V DC power and UART (3.3V TTL) communication interface.
- Class 1 laser safety certified (IEC/EN 60825-1) for safe operation in industrial and research settings.

The TF-UW500 utilizes Time-of-Flight (ToF) laser ranging technology, optimized for the challenging optical properties of water. Its narrow beam and advanced signal processing algorithm filter out backscatter and ambient noise, delivering reliable distance data even in low-visibility or high-ambient-light underwater scenarios. The sensor’s robust design is built for integration into submersible platforms.
Communication is handled via a simple UART serial protocol at 3.3V TTL logic levels, providing real-time distance measurements at a 20Hz frame rate. The compact, low-power design features a 1.0mm-4P connector, making it ideal for space-constrained underwater vehicles, automated depth gauging, and structural inspection systems where precise, non-contact measurement is critical.
