TRU COMPONENTS TC-10093140 Distance Meter 0.5 m
Product Information
The distance meter 0.5 m (item no: 2523285) is a laser ranging module designed for accurate and repeatable short distance measurements. The product features a Class 1 laser, FlightSenseTM (second generation), high-speed autofocus, continuous video autofocus, single power supply, no additional optics required, supports simultaneous use of Serial port, Serial port analogue, Modbus, and IIC modes, standard TTL level serial port I2C, debugging via computer, measuring range is independent of the reflectivity of the target object, suitable for environments with high infrared exposure, and high optical crosstalk compensation.
Specifications
- Working voltage : 5 V/DC
- Interface : Serial port, Serial port analogue, Modbus, IIC
- Laser class : Class 1
- Laser wavelength : 850 nm
- Laser range (indoors): max. 0.5 m (5% accuracy)
- Measuring time : min. 100 ms
- Dimensions (W x H x D): 20 x 16.8 x 6 mm
- Weight : 7 g
Product Usage:
- Safety Instructions: This product is equipped with a Class 1 laser. Never open the device and do not try to access the interior of the unit. Never look into the laser beam as laser radiation can seriously damage your eyes.
- Delivery Contents: The product comes with a module, wire, and quick start guide.
- Modes: The product has three modes: High precision (mode 0), Middle distance (mode 1), and Long distance (mode 2). The period for all modes is 100 ms, and the range for each mode is 20 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm, respectively.
- Pinout: The product has six pins labeled A, B, C, D, E, and F with the following descriptions and colors:
- A – VIN (Red)
- B – GND (Black)
- C – SDA (Yellow)
- D – SCL (Blue)
- E – RXD (White)
- F – TXD (Green)
- An Example Application: Connect the product as follows: 5V to VIN, GND to GND, RXD to pin 2, and TXD to pin 3. The product can be programmed using the example code available for download on the website.

This symbol must appear on any electrical and electronic equipment placed on
the EU market. This symbol indicates that this device should not be disposed
of as unsorted municipal waste at the end of its service life. Owners of WEEE
(Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment) shall dispose of it
separately from unsorted municipal waste. Spent batteries and accumulators,
which are not enclosed by the WEEE, as well as lamps that can be removed from
the WEEE in a non-destructive manner, must be removed by end users from the
WEEE in a nondestructive manner before it is handed over to a collection
point. Distributors of electrical and electronic equipment are legally obliged
to provide free take-back of waste. Conrad provides the following return
options free of charge (more details on our website):
- in our Conrad offices
- at the Conrad collection points
- at the collection points of public waste management authorities or the collection points set up by manufacturers or distributors within the meaning of the ElektroG
End users are responsible for deleting personal data from the WEEE to be disposed of. It should be noted that different obligations about the return or recycling of WEEE may apply in countries outside of Germany.
