About this product

TFA170-L is a lightweight, unenclosed single-point LiDAR for UAV and gimbal integration. Its datasheet specifies 0.1–170 m at 90% reflectivity and 0.1–70 m at 10% reflectivity under 25 °C and 85 klux conditions, with a 12 V supply and default RS-232 interface. The datasheet lists no protection rating; a later application article claims IP67 without identifying a different enclosure or revision, so that claim remains unresolved.
