1 Laser Safety Information
The LiDAR contains IR and visible laser spots. IR laser: Wavelength 905nm; Class 1 according to IEC 60825-1:2014, EN 60825-1:2014+A11:2021.
CAUTION! Use of controls, adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
2 Installation and Maintenance
CAUTION!
This laser product is classified as Class 1 during operational procedures. When the ranging feature is activated, the laser emitter of the LiDAR module may emit laser radiation, therefore, the LiDAR should NOT be aimed at humans and animals to ensure safety.
This product is designed and calibrated for installation with exposed lenses. If a protective window needs to be added in front of the lens, it is necessary to ensure the use of materials with high transmission at 905nm wavelength and anti-reflective coating. Avoid the presence of smoke and fog in the detection field. Avoid condensation. Avoid direct exposure to moisture and water. Do not use rough fabric or dirty towels or aggressive products to clean the laser lenses. Do not use a supply voltage higher than the maximum required in the specifications to power the product. Clean the laser lenses with compressed air. When needed, wipe the laser lenses only with a soft, clean microfiber cloth. Make sure the sensor is securely mounted to prevent false readings or damage. Only trained and qualified personnel may install, setup and repair the LiDAR.

3 Product Overview
This chapter mainly introduces the measuring principle, technical specifications, structural description, equipment coordinates and field of view distribution of the TF-NOVA LiDAR.
3.1 Measuring principle
TF-NOVA is a typical Pulse Time of Flight (PToF) sensor. TF-NOVA emits a narrow pulse laser, which is collimated by the transmitting lens, which enters the receiving system after being reflected by the measured target and is focused on the detector by the receiving lens. The time between the transmitted signal and the received signal is calculated through the circuit amplification and filtering, and the distance between TF-NOVA and the measured target can be calculated through the speed of light.

NOTICE
The measurement range is measured when all light spots are placed on the target board, at 25 . The parameter is measured at 25 , 0Klux, when all the light spots are placed on the target board with a reflectivity of 10%. This angle is the design divergence angle of the laser spot. The actual field of view angle that can trigger distance measurement depends on specific conditions such as the measured object and background. Please confirm according to the specific application. Measured at 25 , changes in conditions may cause variations in the measurement results.
3.3 Structural Appearance

Figure. 2: TF-NOVA Appearance

The FoV (field of view) is the angle covered by the LiDAR sensor. The horizontal FoV is 14° and the vertical FoV is 1°.

Figure. 3: FoV of TF-NOVA NOTICE 14° and 1° are theoretic values. Because the manufacturing error and the installing error exist, there is divergence between actual and theoretic values.
4 Device Installation
This section introduces the mechanical installation and connection information of TF-NOVA LiDAR.
4.1 Mechanical installation
As shown in the following figure. TF-NOVA has 2 installation positioning holes available for use.

5.1 Serial Communication
To connect two devices for TTL communication, the TXD of the transmitter should be connected to the RXD of the receiver, and the TXD of the receiver should be connected to the RXD of the transmitter. The LiDAR does not include a power switch. When power is supplied to the LiDAR, data will begin to be automatically transmitted.

5.2 IIC Communication
TF-NOVA supports up to 400kps clock speed as slave machine and its default address is 0x10. For more information about IIC register table refer to Error! Reference source not found.. Note: In this document, the address of IIC slave device is a 7-bit value with value range [0x08, 0x77] ([08, 119] in decimal). For the first byte after IIC releases a start signal, the 7-bit address should be shifted leftward for one bit (i.e. multiplied with 2), and then filled with the read-write sign on the lowest bit. For TF-NOVA, the default address of slave device is 0x10, the address for write operations is 0x20, and the address for read operations is 0x21.

Write register timing:

Start Slave Addr

Register

W Ack

Ack Data1 Ack … DataN

Addr

Read register timing:

Ack Stop

Start Slave Addr W Ack

Register Addr

Ack Stop

Start Slave Addr R Ack Data1 Ack …

DataN Nack Stop

Note that in the read register sequence, the host can directly generate the second Start signal without generating the first Stop signal. The last Nack can also be an Ack signal. After a write operation on the IIC register, it takes TF-NOVA some time to process. If users need to read the value from the register for validation purposes, we recommend waiting for 100ms after the write operation, prior to the next read operation.

5.3 On/off Mode
On/off mode is designed from those users who only need to detect the existence of an object. TF-NOVA can start this mode using “Enable/disable on-off mode ID_ON_OFF_MODE=0x3B” and then shows result through pin 5. Figure 5 below shows how the mode works when a high level is set to represent an object is detected.

7 ©2024 Benewake (Beijing) Co., Ltd. · All rights reserved · Subject to change without notice

Figure 1 On/off mode that high level means closer
Zone value: If an object is detected closer than Dist, then Pin 5 outputs high-level, but only if an object is detected farther than Dist + Zone, then Pin 5 outputs low-level. When zone is set to 0, pin 5 may output up and down cause by fluctuation of the measuring when the real distance happens to be the same as Dist. That is why a proper zone value is needed to help avoid this situation by having a hysteretic interval. Delay is also supported to avoid inaccurate jumping output. Pin 5 changes its output depends on the Dist value condition and the time it lasts. Delay1 (ms) and Delay2 (ms) determine how long that approaching changes and leaving changes should wait after Dist value is already over the line.
Note: Since the Dist value is set to 0 under factory setting when no object is detected and Amp is too low, then pin 6 may have false output in the on/off mode.
5.4 Serial communication commands
Some parameters in TF-NOVA can be customized by customers, such as data frame format, frame rate, etc., which can be changed by sending specific instructions. After successful configuration, all parameters will be saved in Flash and do not need to be reconfigured when powered on again. When configuring parameters, please follow specific formats and rules to avoid sending commends not introduced below.
