1. Foreword

LS74A

This manual describes the ranging mechanism, specification parameters, dimensions of mechanical structures and data format of LS74A. The product manual is updated with product technology upgrades. For the latest version, please contact the technical support of LSLiDAR.
1.1. Overview

The LS74A utilizes the TOF (Time of Flight) method and it can perform distance ranging at a fixed angle. It is designed to achieve a ranging accuracy of ± 1 m and a maximum ranging distance up to 1200 m. With such high performance, the LS74A mainly applies to scenarios such as building surveying, topographic mapping, environmental detection and military applications that require accurate distance measurement.
1.2. Mechanism

Based on the TOF (time of flight) methodology, the LS74A measures the distance between a target object and the sensor, by calculating the difference between the emission and return times of modulated laser. The laser emitter sends out the modulated pulse laser, and an internal timer starts timing(t1). The laser encounters the target object, part of the energy returns. When the LS74A receives the return laser signal, the timer will stop timing(t2). The formula for distance between the LS74A and the target object:
Distance = Speed of Light*(t2 ­ t1)/2

LS74A

Shipping Requirements

This product is packed with the packaging materials specially customized by our company, which can resist certain vibrations and impacts. For long-distance transportation, special packaging materials must be used to avoid irreversible damage during transportation.

Installation Requirements

Please use screws that meet the specifications to fix the base, and make sure the base has good heat dissipation. Wear powder-free clean gloves during installation to avoid optical cover contamination and mechanical damage.

Storage Conditions

It is recommended to store the products in a ventilated and dry place where the temperature is 23 ±5 °C, and the relative humidity is 30% ~ 70%. Do not store in environments where the humidity, pH, etc. exceed the protection level.

Dirt Treatment

If the sensor's mask is dirty during use, such as with fingerprints, muddy water, dry leaves or insect corpses, etc., the sensor's ranging effect will be directly affected. Please clean it according to the following steps:

Tools: PVC gloves, clean cloth, absolute ethanol (99%)

Environment: ventilated and dry, away from fire

1) Put on PVC gloves and fix the base with your fingers; if it is not stubborn stains, use a dust-free cloth or dry air to gently remove the stains;

2) For stubborn stains, evenly spray the ethanol in the spray bottle on the location to be cleaned and wait for the stain to be dissolved. Then use a dustless cloth dipped in ethanol solvent, and gently wipe the mask. If the cloth is contaminated, please replace it in time. After cleaning the stain, use a new dustless cloth to remove any remaining liquid.
