LoRaWan ToF Laser Distance Sensor - EM400-TLD-868M

 

The EM400-TLD has virtually no blind spots and contains an integrated temperature sensor to check whether containers are on fire. This IoT device also features an integrated 3-axis accelerometer to detect the position of the device, which can be used to monitor the opening and closing of the garbage can lid.

With IP67 protection, the housing also features a conformal coating on its PCBA, providing an additional layer of defense. This ensures smooth operation even under the most difficult conditions.

The laser distance sensor offers two pre-set modes, Standard and Bin, designed to meet the needs of distance measurement and garbage can monitoring applications. These modes are set with different data collection frequencies and ratios, ensuring optimum performance. 

Use cases :

 

• Manage waste collection by monitoring the fill rate of recycling bins in order to optimize collection schedules. 

• Tracking the use of waste garbage cans can usage to identify areas of high waste density in different zones or neighborhoods

• Measuring the fill level of industrial containers for more efficient resource management

Product benefits:

 

•  Equipped with NTC temperature sensor for waste combustion detection and alarm.

•  Integrated 3-axis accelerometer sensor to monitor tilt status

Questions and Answers :

 

What is the EM400-TLD distance sensor used for?

The EM400-TLD distance sensor, based on Time of Flight (ToF) technology, is primarily used for detecting the fill level and position status of containers or waste bins. It features a detection range of 2 to 350 cm with minimal blind zones.

How is the EM400-TLD sensor powered, and what is its battery life?

The EM400-TLD sensor is powered by two built-in 9000mAh replaceable batteries. The LoRaWAN® version offers a battery life of up to 10 years, while the NB-IoT/Cat.M version can last around 10 years as well, depending on the operational mode.

Is the EM400-TLD sensor suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the EM400-TLD sensor is suitable for outdoor applications. It has an IP67 waterproof rating and features an internal damp-proof coating to withstand various environmental conditions.

Can the EM400-TLD sensor detect if a container is tilted?

Yes, the EM400-TLD sensor is equipped with a built-in 3-axis accelerometer to monitor the status of the container lid, including detection of tilting.

How can the EM400-TLD sensor be configured?

The EM400-TLD sensor can be configured via an NFC-enabled mobile app, allowing for touch-based configuration and support for card emulation mode.

What is the field of view of the EM400-TLD sensor?

The EM400-TLD sensor has a field of view (FoV) of 27°, providing efficient detection with almost no blind spots when installed on small-sized waste bins or containers.

Does the EM400-TLD sensor have temperature monitoring capabilities?

Yes, the EM400-TLD is equipped with an NTC temperature sensor which can detect and alarm if the containers are burning, ensuring security.

What are the dimensions and material of the EM400-TLD sensor?

The EM400-TLD sensor measures 118×65×30mm and is made of ABS+PC (flame retardant) material, in a black-gray color.
