Product Information
TSL200 1-Wire Ambient Light Sensor
The TSL200 is an ambient light sensor that can be used with TERACOM
controllers such as TCW241, TCW220, and TCG140. It operates on a 1-Wire bus
and has a supply voltage range of the 1-Wire bus.
The sensor provides accurate illuminance measurements over a range of values
with high resolution and accuracy.

The pinout for the TSL200 sensor is as follows:
| Pin | Description | Corresponding UTP wires color |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1-Wire GND | White/Brown |
| 2 | 1-Wire GND | White/Green |
| 3 | 1-Wire Data | Green |
| 4 | 1-Wire GND | White/Orange |
| 5 | 1-Wire +VDD | Orange |
| 6 | 1-Wire +VDD | Brown |
The TSL200 sensor has an LED indicator and should be connected using UTP/FTP cables. It is strongly recommended to use a daisy-chained (linear) topology for multiple sensors and keep total cable length up to 30 meters. Maxim’s 1-Wire tips should be followed for reliable long-line 1-Wire networks.
Product Usage Instructions
To use the TSL200 sensor, connect it to a TERACOM controller such as TCW241, TCW220, or TCG140 using UTP/FTP cables. Follow the pinout as described in the user manual. It is recommended to use a daisy-chained topology for multiple sensors and keep the total cable length up to 30 meters.
After the sensor is connected, it will provide accurate illuminance measurements over a range of values with high resolution and accuracy. The sensor’s LED indicator will indicate when it is active.
For best results, follow Maxim’s 1-Wire tips for reliable long-line 1-Wire networks.
TSL200
1-Wire ambient light sensor
Short description
- TSL200 is a 1-Wire ambient light sensor with high dynamic range and high-precision human-eye response, using strong IR (infra-red) filter.
- The sensor measures up to 83000 lux with an automatic full-scale adjustment and 23-bit effective dynamic range.
- The internal digital signal processing and full factory calibration guarantee the long-term stability and repeatability of the measurements. The full factory calibration eliminates the need for additional calibration on the customer’s side.
- The availability of inside unique number for each sensor allows installation in multi-sensor environmental monitoring systems.
- The sensor communicates over the 1-wire interface. In order to make easier daisy-chain wiring, there is two RJ-11 connector available on the panel.
- TSA200 has two RJ11 connectors, for easy daisy chain arranging of the 1-Wire bus.
Usage
Can be used with following TERACOM controllers:
- TCW241
- TCW220
- TCG140
Pinout
| Pin | Description | Corresponding UTP wires color |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1-Wire GND | White/Brown |
| 2 | 1-Wire GND | White/Green |
| 3 | 1-Wire Data | Green |
| 4 | 1-Wire GND | White/Orange |
| 5 | 1-Wire +VDD | Orange |
| 6 | 1-Wire +VDD | Brown |
LED indicator
The status of the device is shown by single LED, located on the front panel:
- If the LED blinks on a period of 1 second, the sensor works properly;
- If the LED blinks on a period of 3 seconds, there isn’t communication with the controller;
- If LED doesn’t blink, there isn’t power supply
Sensor connection
It is strongly recommended to use only UTP/FTP cables. It is strongly recommended to use a daisy-chained (linear) topology for multiple sensors and keep total cable length up to 30 meters.
