Data Sheet

Copyright © Terabee 2018
● Do not mount anything directly in front of the sensors or in a cone of approximately
+/-15° around the central optical axis of the sensor
● Within the first meter from the sensors, during operation avoid objects with high
surface reflectivity in a cone of approximately +/-45° around the central optical axis of
the sensor
● It is better to avoid having other sources of Continuous Wave or modulated IR light
close to the sensor
● Please consider that dust, dirt and condensation can affect the sensor performance
● It is not advised to add an additional cover in front of the sensors
● Drone rotor blades, or other environments with flickering (‘chopped’) ambient light in
the field of view can affect sensors’ readings
For drone use. If you are mounting the Tower Evo on a drone, please see our Pixhawk
Connection Instructions document which contains important information about the orientation
of the Tower.
2.2 Compatibility with TeraRanger Evo distance sensors
Kindly note that TeraRanger Tower Evo uses the Hub Evo board to provide compatibility
with single point Evo distance sensors. The following table sums up Tower Evo compatibility
with TeraRanger Evo distance sensors.
Name
Visual
TeraRanger Evo 60m
TeraRanger Evo 600Hz
TeraRanger Evo 600Hz offers high speed distance data acquisition for more effective
collision avoidance, whereas TeraRanger Evo 60m provides longer range measurements
with increased accuracy for a broader range of applications, including mapping and
navigation tasks. Also, please be aware that Tower Evo is sold in versions with 4 or 8
TeraRanger Evo distance sensors.
Please note that we do not recommend disassembly of the Evo sensors from the Tower
frame for use in configurations other than the Tower. If you wish to build custom sensor
