Use a target plate to increase the measurement range during daylight or if the target has

poor reflection properties.

The highest measuring accuracy is ±0.3m when sensor measures in 5 to 300m. If measuring

range is further than 300m, the measuring accuracy of sensor is ±1m.

4.2 Operating Steps

4.2.1 Connection

Connect the sensor to a serial port of computer (or other device which has serial ports), then connect to a power port of adapter with special data cable.

4.2.2 Single Trigger Measuring mode

4.2.2.1 Send a command "O" (ASCII) or "0X4F" (HEX) by computer to turn on the sensor. Then sensor will emit a laser beam and prepare for working, and return the data "FF 00 0A 0A 0A 00" to the serial interface.
4.2.2.2 Send a command "O" (ASCII) or "0X4F" (HEX) again to the sensor to start to measure distance. The sensor will return the measured data like "FF XX XX XX XX XX" to the serial interface and turn off laser beam when it finished one time measurement. For example, if measured distance is 123.4m, computer will receive data like "FF 00 01 02 03 04".

4.2.2.3 Send a command "U" (ASCII) or "0X55" (HEX) to turn off the sensor.

4.2.3 Continuous Measuring Mode

4.2.3.1 Send a command "O" (ASCII) or "0X4F" (HEX) by computer to turn on the sensor. Then the sensor will turn on the laser and prepare for working, and return the data "FF 00 0A 0A 0A 00" to the serial interface
4.2.3.2 Send a command "C" (ASCII) or "0X43" (HEX) to the sensor. The sensor will begin to measure continuously after 3 seconds when it got the order, and return the data continuously like "FF XX XX XX XX XX". If the sensor couldn't get any available data, it will return "FF 00 0A 0A 0A 00" to the serial interface.
4.2.3.3 Send a command "U" (ASCII) or "0X55" (HEX) to turn off the whole sensor (include both of laser unit and measuring unit).

6.Troubleshooting

Laser distance sensor user manual

6.1 Factors affecting the measurement range
Laser distance sensor is a new of un-contact optical measuring equipment. Its measuring range
and accuracy will be effect by many external environmental factors. So actual measuring result
might be different with typical value which is measured in standard environment. The following factors will effect actual measuring range:

Effect Factors Increase measuring range

Decrease measuring range

Surface of target

Bright and smooth surface with good reflection, like
target plate

Deep color and rough surface, like green or blue target surface

Air visibility

Clean air

Dust, fog, storm and rain, snow

Ambient light

Dark environment

Target exposure to strong light, like sunlight in midday

Laser emission

Laser emission lens and protection glass keep clean
and smooth

Laser emission lens and protection glass get dirty or
scratched

In conclusion, the best measuring result will be happen in a dark environment and with a good reflection target. We strongly suggest to use a target plate when laser distance sensor works in a poor environment. We also suggest to keep laser emission lens and protection glass clean with a soft cloth before start to using.

Cause
Calculation error Temperature too high Temperature too low Received signal too weak, time for a measurement
too long.
Received signal too strong
Faulty measurement, too much background light
Outside of the range of measurement
Laser beam interrupted

Correction
Repeat procedure Let device cool down
Warm device up
Use a target plate
Use target plate(gray side)
Use target plate(brown side)
Select measurement distance within the range
of measurement Repeat the measurement
