The Benewake VLS-H5 utilizes Single-Photon Avalanche Diode (SPAD) direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) technology combined with a rotating mechanical assembly to perform full 360° 2D laser scanning. This design ensures accurate and stable distance measurements even in challenging underwater conditions with slight turbidity. The sensor is engineered for consistent data output, providing reliable point-cloud information for real-time spatial awareness.
Built for harsh environments, the module features a robust IPX8 waterproof enclosure, allowing submersion up to 4 meters. It operates on a 5.4V DC supply with an average current draw under 450mA, making it suitable for mobile and battery-powered applications. The UART communication protocol simplifies data retrieval and system integration for underwater navigation, inspection, and mapping tasks.
