Reported claim

Configuration: TF03-180; tf03 user manual; page 10; RS485 hardware scope for Modbus and baud claims; the signal-strength threshold also applies to the documented UART/CAN ranging output.

Benewake tf03 user manual
The TF03 Modbus uses a 2-wire interface; see the physical interface description for wire sequence. For parity and baud rate settings, refer to the communication protocol and data format. Custom parameter configuration requires switching to serial port mode to set the baud rate. The TF03 RS485 interface operates in half-duplex mode.

Rs485 recommended maximum baud rate

Reported claim

Configuration: TF03-180; tf03 user manual; page 10; RS485 hardware scope for Modbus and baud claims; the signal-strength threshold also applies to the documented UART/CAN ranging output.

Benewake tf03 user manual
For reliability reasons, using baud rates above 115200 is not recommended.
