Benewake TF03-180 Industrial LiDAR Sensor, Range: 0.1m~180m - 4-20mA Output, IP67

This specific model provides a standard industrial 4-20mA analog current output. Connect the power (12-24V DC) and signal wires to your PLC, data acquisition system, or 4-20mA receiver module. The sensor also includes a TTL serial port for configuration, debugging, and accessing raw data, but the primary measurement is delivered via the current loop.

Performance varies with conditions. Under 100 Klux sunlight, the maximum range is reduced to 130m for a 90% reflective target and 50m for a 10% reflective target. For optimal 180m range, ensure high-reflectivity targets and minimal ambient light interference. The sensor's algorithm compensates for typical outdoor glare, fog, and precipitation.

The sensor requires a 12V to 24V DC power supply. Average current draw is ≤140mA at 12V or ≤80mA at 24V, with peak current under 140mA. The attached 70cm cable typically includes wires for power (V+, GND) and the 4-20mA output signal (I+, I-). Always refer to the official pinout diagram for correct connection to your controller.

Yes, key parameters like the frame rate (from 1Hz to 1000Hz) are configurable. Adjustments are made via the TTL serial debug port using Benewake's proprietary configuration software or serial commands. This allows optimization for specific applications, balancing update speed with power consumption and data processing needs.

Yes, its IP67 rating provides strong protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter. Combined with an operating temperature range of -25°C to +60°C and high ambient light immunity, it is engineered for reliable, long-term performance in challenging outdoor industrial environments.
