Description

The TF03-100 is an industrial-grade LiDAR sensor based on Time-of-Flight (ToF) pulse measurement technology. It emits a light pulse and calculates the distance to an object by measuring the time taken for the reflection to return. This principle ensures high-speed, non-contact ranging suitable for dynamic applications.

Engineered for durability, the sensor’s IP67-rated enclosure protects against dust and water ingress, supporting reliable operation across a wide temperature range. Its compact form factor and low power consumption (≤0.9W at 5V) facilitate easy integration into space-constrained mobile platforms like drones and autonomous vehicles.

Key Features

  • Long-distance ToF LiDAR with a range of 0.1m to 100m (90% reflectivity).
  • High measurement frequency up to 10,000 Hz for rapid, real-time data acquisition.
  • Robust IP67 waterproof and dustproof housing for industrial and outdoor use.
  • UART serial communication interface with configurable baud rate up to 115200 bps.
  • Advanced ambient light suppression algorithm for reliable outdoor operation.
  • Configurable frame rate from 1 Hz to 1000 Hz and programmable output parameters.
  • Low power consumption, operating from a standard 5V DC supply (≥200mA).
  • Compact and lightweight design (44mm x 43mm, 80g) for easy system integration.

Applications

  • Drone terrain following, altitude hold, and assisted landing systems.
  • Automotive and robotics collision avoidance and object detection.
  • Intelligent transportation systems for vehicle classification and counting.
  • Industrial bulk material level monitoring in silos and containers.
  • Perimeter security and safety warning systems in construction or mining.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the power supply requirement for the TF03-100 LiDAR sensor?

The TF03-100 operates from a 5V DC power source and requires a minimum current supply of 200mA, with a typical power consumption of less than 0.9W. Ensure your power regulator can provide stable 5V power to the sensor's VCC pin for reliable operation.

How do I communicate with the sensor using its UART interface?

The sensor communicates via a standard 3.3V TTL UART serial interface. Connect the TX pin of the sensor to the RX pin of your microcontroller (e.g., Arduino, Raspberry Pi, STM32) and the RX pin to the microcontroller's TX pin. The default baud rate is 115200 bps, and the data format includes distance, signal strength, and temperature readings.

Can the TF03-100 operate reliably in bright outdoor sunlight?

Yes, the sensor incorporates a specialized compensation algorithm designed to suppress interference from strong ambient light, making it suitable for outdoor applications. Its IP67-rated housing also provides protection against dust and water ingress, further ensuring reliability in harsh environmental conditions.

What is the effective range of the sensor on low-reflectivity surfaces?

The maximum range is dependent on target reflectivity. For a target with 90% reflectivity, the sensor can achieve its full 100m range. For low-reflectivity surfaces (10% reflectivity), the effective range is reduced to approximately 70m, which should be considered during system design and placement.

Is the output frame rate configurable?

Yes, the sensor's output frame rate is highly configurable via UART commands, ranging from 1 Hz up to 1000 Hz. The default factory setting is 100 Hz. You can adjust this parameter to balance between data update speed and system processing load based on your specific application requirements.
