Note
- The detection range is measured with the standard white board (90%reflectivity).
- The frame rate can be adjusted. The default value is 100Hz and the maximum value is 1000Hz, customized frame rate should be calculated by the formula: 2000/n (n is an integer with ≥ 2).
- The angle is a theoretical value, the actual angle value has some deviation.
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 they are 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.
- Do not remove the dust-removal wiper, which may cause equipment failure. If the dust-removal wiper is abnormal, please contact bw@benewake.com.
- When the steering shaft is blocked by dust for a long time, the steering shaft may be damaged due to the increased resistance. Please clean the steering shaft regularly.
- If you require deep cleaning of internal optics, please contact bw@benewake.com to offer professional advice.
Appearance and Structure
The appearance and dimensions of TF02-Pro-W-485 are shown in Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2.
TF02-Pro-W-485 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-Pro-W-485 is 3°. At different distances, the size of light spot, namely the edge length of the detection range, is different, as shown in Figure 1-3. 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 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 15 | 20 | 22 |
| Spot size(cm) | 5 | 10 | 16 | 21 | 26 | 31 | 37 | 42 | 47 | 52 | 79 | 105 | 115 |
Note: The side length of target object generally should be larger than size of the TF02-Pro-W-485 light spot; if the side length of the detected object is smaller than size of light spot, the output (Distance) from TF02-Pro-W-485 will be a value between the actual distance values of the two objects.
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.

WIPER WORKING
The dust-removal wiper works in a fixed cycle, having a dust-removal operation every 4 hours in the default working mode. Each dust-removal operation is driven by the LiDAR servo, the wiper moves backwards and forwards for one time. And TF02-Pro-W-485 will also perform dust-removal operation once after each power-on. In addition, customer can control the LiDAR immediately by sending command for dust-removal, and modify the wiper swing times and save the settings. During the dust removal operation, the LiDAR does not measure and output data. The wiper stops at position A when it does not work, and moves from position A to position B during operation, then returns to position A, the initial and termination positions are shown in Figure 3-1.
Note: It is recommended that the dust-removal interval should be kept greater than 30 minutes, when servo is in high-temperature environments (ambient temperature > 40 ℃).
