OVERVIEW

Note 1 The detection is measured with the standard white board (90% reflectivity). 2 The frame rate can be adjusted. The default value is 100Hz and the maximum value is 100Hz, the customized frame rate should be calculated by the formula: 200/n (n is an integer with ≥ 2). 3 The angle is a theoretical value, the actual angle value has some deviation.

1.2 Maintenance and Cleaning

 Before switching on, please check if the exposed window mirror is clean, and clean it promptly if it is dirty.  After using the device, check the optics. If it is contaminated, please clean it promptly.  The optics should be cleaned regularly if the device be operated in a severe environment for a long time.  Before regular cleaning, please disconnect the power. Using a soft cloth to gently wipe the window in the same direction when the device is not operating, to avoid repeated wiping and damage to the window mirror.  When cleaning the window, do not use alcohol to clean, so as not to damage the window.  If you require deep cleaning of internal optics, please contact bw@benewake.com to offer professional advice.

1.3 Appearance and Structure

The appearance and dimensions of TF02-i are shown in Figure 1- 1 and Figure 1- 2:

Figure 1- 1 Appearance of TF02-i

OVERVIEW

Figure 1- 2 Dimension of TF02-i (Unit: mm)

TF02-i is recommended to use M2.5 round Phillips screws for installation. Please remove the protective film of the optical lens before use. The lens of front panel of LiDAR cannot be covered. Please keep it clean. The surface of optical lens is the ranging zero of LiDAR. The detection angle of TF02-i is 3°. At different distances, the size of light spot, namely the edge length of the detection range, is different. Side length of the detection range at different distances (the detection range is a square), as shown in Table 1- 2. Table 1- 2 Spot Size at Different Distances

Distance（m） 1 2 3 5 7 10 20 30 40 Spot size（cm） 5 10 16 26 37 52 105 156 208

Note The side length of target object generally should be larger than size of the TF02-i light spot; if the side length of the detected object is smaller than size of light spot, the output (Distance) from TF02-i will be a value between the actual distance values of the two objects.

1.4 Storage

 Device should be stored at -30°C to 80°C with a relative humidity ≤ 60% and ventilation free from corrosive gases.  Before storage, please make sure that all connections are disconnected or dust covers are inserted or covered to ensure cleanliness.  If storage time is over three months, please carry out a working test before using, to ensure that the device can be used in normal condition.  For ensuring the product performance, do not open the product shell or remove the IR-pass filter.
