• Lightware SF23-B Laser Rangefinder (50 m)
• Features a very low power LiDAR
• Can run from voltages as low as 3.2 V
• Operates from a small solar panel or coin cell battery
• Is able to take 1 to 10 readings per second

The Lightware SF23-B Laser Rangefinder (50 m) is a very low power LiDAR that can be used in energy critical applications where batteries or solar cells are used. It is a small form factor, general purpose LiDAR sensor that measures the distance to objects by timing a laser flash. It measures up to 50 m in outdoor conditions.

The SF23/B LiDAR is rated laser Class 1 eye safe. Do not view the laser with magnifying optics such as microscopes, binoculars or telescopes. The SF23/B LiDAR communication interfaces include A serial port (3.0 V logic level) with configurable baud rate to connect to a host controller. A shutdown control line. A general purpose control line.

The SF23/B requires a clear line-of-sight to measure distance to a target surface. It can be mounted with a vertical or horizontal lens orientation. Accuracy is not generally affected by the colour or texture of the target surface, nor the angle of incidence of the laser beam. The SF23/B is tolerant to changes in background lighting conditions, wind and noise.
