LDS12-LS LoRaWAN LiDAR ToF Distance Sensor 0.1-12m 868MHz with Solar

The LDS12-LS LoRaWAN LiDAR ToF Distance Sensor is a sophisticated IoT device designed for precise distance measurement. This sensor uses Time of Flight (ToF) technology to accurately determine the distance to an object. The measuring range is from 0.1 meters to 12 meters, whereas it can measure distances up to 6 meters with an accuracy of ±5cm and beyond that with an accuracy of ±1%. Thanks to its robust construction, the sensor is ideally suited for outdoor use. This model utilises a combination of solar cells and a supporting battery to ensure optimum performance and longevity outdoors. The LDS12-LS supports Bluetooth for easy configuration and wireless OTA updates. Each sensor is pre-installed with unique keys for LoRaWAN registration, allowing quick and easy commissioning.
