TF03-180 Product Specification V1.2 Benewake(Beijing)Co., Ltd.
TF03-180 LiDAR Long-Distance Sensor
1 Product Overview
TF03-180 is a industrial high-speed LiDAR with a
range of up to 180m. TF03-180 includes
compensation algorithms for outdoor glare and
other interference, so it works normally under
strong light environment and rain, fog and snow
conditions1. Different built-in operating modes let
customers change parameters and configuration
to meet their need.
2 Technical specifications
Two versions of TF03-180 are available to customers who have different interface
and power supply requirements:
1) Standard version supports TTL serial port and CAN interface with 5V power
supply (If 6-24V power supply is needed, please contact sales)
2) RS485/RS232 version supports RS485/RS232 interface with 6-24V power
supply.
3) 4-20mA version supports 4-20mA interface with 12-24V power supply.

Accuracy ±10cm (within 10m), 1% (10m and further)
1
Rain, snow and fog conditions generally refer to moderate rain, snow and below, and moderate rainfall < 25mm/24h or <
7.9mm/h.

Accuracy and repeatability are measured in white board (90% reflectivity) and will be somewhat different in the case of
different reflectivity or light sensitivity conditions.

FOV of light spot, horizontal is different with vertical, the detection angle in the parameters table means the maximum one,
which means the horizontal one. Note: Lidar’s horizontal axis and light spot’s axis are same when logo face up.

4 Communication interface
TF03-180 standard version supports TTL serial port as default, and CAN
communication mode is also available to use if needed. Command are provided for
modifying to CAN mode, but only one of the two modes are working, two of them
cannot output at the same time.
TF03-180 RS485/RS232 version supports RS485 and RS232 communication
modes at the same time. By default, both interfaces can communicate, and different
interface lines can be used.
TF03 4-20mA version supports current analog output, and the debugging port is
TTL serial port.
