From $443.00Sale Price
DRAGINO LoRaWAN LiDAR Distance Sensor with Solar Power Option is a LoRaWAN LiDAR ToF distance sensor for wireless distance measurement and object detection. It measures distances from 0.1 metre to 12 metres and transmits the measured value to a LoRaWAN IoT server. With laser-based detection, 1 cm distance resolution, Bluetooth v5.1 configuration and wireless OTA firmware updates, it can be used for applications including parking management, object presence detection, intelligent bins, robot obstacle avoidance and sewer monitoring.

The DRAGINO LoRaWAN LiDAR Distance Sensor with Solar Power Option provides wireless distance measurement for IoT monitoring and automation applications. It uses laser induction technology to measure the distance between the sensor and an object, then uploads the measurement wirelessly to a LoRaWAN IoT server.

The sensor has a measurement range of 0.1 metre to 12 metres at 90% reflectivity. At 10% reflectivity, the specified range is 0.1 metre to 4 metres. The sensor provides 1 cm distance resolution and has a 3.6° field of view.

Two power configurations are available. The LDS12-LB uses an 8500 / 19000 mAh Li/SOCl2 battery, while the LDS12-LS uses a solar panel with a 3000 mAh Li-ion battery.

How it works

  • The LiDAR probe emits light towards the target.
  • The sensor determines the distance using Time of Flight technology.
  • The measured distance is processed by the device.
  • The distance value is transmitted wirelessly to a LoRaWAN IoT server.
  • The device can monitor battery level.
  • Parameters can be configured through Bluetooth v5.1 or remotely through LoRaWAN.
  • Firmware can be updated wirelessly using OTA functionality.
  • AT commands and LoRaWAN downlink can be used to change parameters.

Why choose this product?

  • Long measurement range: Provides distance measurement up to 12 metres under the specified 90% reflectivity condition.
  • LiDAR ToF technology: Uses laser-based distance detection rather than physical contact with the measured object.
  • LoRaWAN connectivity: Allows measured distance data to be transmitted wirelessly to an IoT server.
  • Choice of power configuration: The LB version uses an 8500 mAh Li/SOCl2 battery, while the LS version combines a solar panel with a 3000 mAh Li-ion battery.
  • Remote configuration: Bluetooth and LoRaWAN configuration options simplify setup and parameter management.
  • Long-term operation: Dragino states that the LDS12 is designed for long-term use of up to 5 years.

Benefits

It can provide continuous distance information without requiring a physical connection between the sensor and the monitored object. This makes it useful where direct access to the target is impractical or where measurements need to be incorporated into a remote IoT monitoring system.

Its narrow 3.6° field of view can also help focus measurement on a particular target area, while the IP65 enclosure rating supports use in suitable outdoor and industrial environments.
