This laser range sensor can be used to detect objects in 4~400cm with ±2cm accuracy. With 3 measurement modes supported, it is well applicable to various detection scenarios like security gate detection, access control systems, security alarm devices, smart trash cans, smart cars, or robots for obstacle avoidance.
The sensor metal black shell adopts a threaded barrel design and its probe comes with an optical cover. The integrated design makes the product able to effectively filter optical interference, waterproof and shockproof. The sensor uses an invisible laser and there is a voltage regulator circuit inside the module. Featuring stable performance and UART output, the sensor has an alarm output line that will be triggered to output Low steadily when the measurement distance is smaller than the user-set threshold.
Note: The data will be unstable when measuring black objects.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- baud
- Baud is the signalling rate of a serial connection, often used as the speed setting for UART communication. Matching the baud rate matters because both connected devices must use the same setting for readable data.
- IP67
- An ingress protection rating meaning the enclosure is dust-tight and can survive temporary immersion in water under specified test conditions. This matters when choosing a sensor for outdoor, wet, or wash-down environments.
- UART
- UART is a simple serial connection that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, often labelled TX and RX. It matters because this module is designed to replace a wired UART cable with a wireless link while keeping the same serial data format.
