Terabee IND-TOF-1 - Specification Sheet

Product catalog summary

Overview: The IND-TOF-1 is a compact, rugged Time-of-Flight distance sensor developed by Terabee. It features a range of up to 12.5 meters and is housed in an IP65 rated enclosure, making it suitable for industrial applications. The sensor supports six operating modes and uses an RS485 (Modbus) interface for communication.

Key Features:

Time-of-Flight technology with a range of 0.5 m to 12.5 m.
Output resolution of 5 mm and accuracy of ±4 cm within the first 4 m, ±1% beyond 4 m.
Compact form-factor weighing 99 grams.
Integrated teach-in buttons for easy programming.
LED indicators for operation status.

Technical Specifications:

Detection Principle: Infrared Time-of-Flight.
Field of View: Approximately 2°.
Light Source Wavelength: 940 nm.
Supply Voltage: 24V±5% DC with a maximum current consumption of 90 mA.
Enclosure Material: ABS main body with an aluminum backplate.
Operating Temperature: -20°C to +45°C.
Conformity: CE, RoHS, Eye-Safety, Vibration & Shock standards.

Operating Modes:

Mode 1: Presence detection with a single threshold.
Mode 2: Counting applications with a single threshold.
Mode 3: Stock level monitoring with three thresholds.
Mode 4: Height monitoring with three thresholds.
Mode 5: Object position tolerance monitoring with three thresholds.
Mode 6: Distance measurement applications without switching output.

Applications: The sensor is suitable for object presence detection, object sorting by size, material level monitoring, robot positioning tasks, and height warning for vehicle entry.

Connector Pinout:

Pin 1: +24V DC power supply.
Pin 2: Ground.
Pin 3: NO/NC connection.
Pin 4: RS485 Tx/Rx+.
Pin 5: RS485 Tx/Rx-.
