SF000 LiDAR sensor Datasheet 1. Overview The SF000 is an ultra small and light laser rangefinder designed for size and weight constraint applications. Using a time-of-flight system to make very fast and accurate distance and speed measurements, accuracy is not affected by the colour or texture of the surface, nor the angle of incidence of the laser beam. The SF000 is virtually immune to background light, wind and noise, making it an ideal sensor to detect unexpected obstacles.

SF000 LiDAR sensor Datasheet 3. Quickstart guide Caution The SF000 laser rangefinder contains a laser and should never be aimed at a person or an animal. Do not look at the beam directly with optical instruments. ● ● ● ● ● ● ● Download the L ightWare Studio application to your PC or laptop. Install and start the application by following the prompts. Connect the SF000 to the PC using the serial cable provided connected to a serial to USB converter.

SF000 LiDAR sensor Datasheet 4. Safety instructions The SF000 emits ionizing laser radiation. The level of the laser emission is Class 1M which indicates that the laser beam is safe to look at with the unaided eye but must not be viewed using binoculars or other optical devices. Notwithstanding the safety rating, avoid looking into the beam and switch the unit off when working in the area. Caution The use of optical instruments with this product will increase eye hazard.

It can be mounted with a vertical or horizontal lens orientation. They can be mounted in a downward facing orientation for altimetery, terrain following or precision landing applications. For terrain following, install the rangefinder at an angle to reduce lag time in reaction.

SF000 LiDAR sensor Datasheet Precautions Ensure that nothing is in the path of the laser beam. Ensure that no shiny or highly reflective surfaces are near the path of the beam. Secure the cable with zip ties to protect it from pulling on the connectors. 6.
